So, since we last were here, what's been going on in my life? Oh, not too much. We've been spending time with some friends, playing with their babies, working, and staying fairly busy. Work is less hectic now that the new guy has started working on claims The end of the year is approaching shortly, and I can tell it's going to be a little chaotic. I have done 11 month-ends at work, but not year-end. I wonder if it's any different?
Speaking of 2008 ending soon, WOW! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by! In January I got a new job and we got Odin, in April, Aaron and I got engaged, Aaron's parents visited us, we went to our first baseball games, Saw Mason Jennings in concert, two of our friends had children and their families have grown And now it's almost 2009. Which also means that Winter is officially almost over (only a few more weeks!!), and I can stop driving to and from work in the dark within a month. I hope.
On to more recent news. For Thanksgiving, all of our friends were either working or leaving town to spend time with family, so Aaron and I had four days off together, to just sit around and do nothing. And that's exactly what we did. No Black Friday shopping crap, just hanging out, not working. It was really nice and relaxing. Aaron and I had fajitas for Thanksgiving dinner. Mmm, mmm, good!
I got a cold this last week. It started out pretty innocent, and I actually thought it was going to go away fairly quickly. Boy, was I wrong. Now, it's not the most horrible cold I have had, and thank goodness it's not the horrible crap that some co-workers and Jill got last week where they spent most of their Thanksgiving weekend hovering in the bathroom around a toilet, just your regular head cold.
I started looking for a second job this week at the mall across from where I work currently - nights and weekends, part time. I walked into the Bath and Body Works, and as I was picking up the application, the manager of the store approached me, asked me what I was doing at 6, and let me know they were having a group interview at that time, and I should come. She's hoping to have some people hired by this Saturday. It's Thursday, and I haven't heard from her, but who knows. I think I am also going to start donating plasma, there is a place near us that compensates for the donation. I figure all the extra money will go towards saving for the wedding.
A couple days ago, I ordered the CitiKitty, a toilet training kit for cats. I am so sick and tired of the litter box, in our one bedroom apartment, being in the bathroom, with bits of litter everywhere. It's driving me nuts. If we had a basement or extra bedroom, it wouldn't be so bad, but we just don't. Hopefully within a couple of months, we'll have him all trained up, and bye bye litter box! I'll let you know how it goes. Possibly pictures to come.
Our company had their Christmas party this afternoon at a location away from work. It was Hawaiian-themed, and a lot of fun. Games, trivia, prizes, and good pork barbecue. I got second place in the beanbag toss, but didn't manage to get my raffle ticket pulled for any of the other prizes. I never win those things.
So, that's about it, everything that's happened in the last three weeks or so, that I can think of that is worth blogging about! Sorry to keep you waiting so long!
