It's been awhile...

So it's been since January 9th since I've written. That's awhile. I really wanted to try to keep writing every day. As you can tell that didn't happen.
Let me do a recap of the past 4 weeks.
The week of January 10, was nothing more than very stressful. We knew layoffs were coming and they did. They weren't as bad as what we all thought, but still scary and shitty. Because of that every hourly person has to take one day off per week for rest of the first quarter, paid or unpaid. All salary peopel have to take 25% of their vacation plus their 2 floating holidays. So for me, being salary, I have to take 4.5 days of vacation. That leaves me with 4.5 days of vacation after April 14th. Which it's not bad, but it's not great since I was planning on having 9 days of vacation after my lovely trip to Jamaica April 10-14. I am SO EXCITED to goto Jamaica. I found that out, that week as well. :-) During that week Mr. D got a 20% raise, so in case I did get laid off, we would be secure. So yea it was a good week, and we got wasted that Friday to celebrate, my still having a job and my hubby getting an awesome raise.
The week of January 17th...nothing special. Busy as fuck every day. Our friends from Syracuse came out to join us at the annual "deer dinner" in Stafford NY. This is where all of my family and all of our hunting friends from Genesee county join us to celebrate the past year's hunt with a huge feast band and good beer.
On the week of January 24th I took that Monday off. Why? IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!! 26 years old. The 24th we went to Geneseo to celebrate my mother-in-laws & my birthday (we share the same birthday 30 yrs apart) From the inlaws I got a cute tank & flip flops for JAMAICA, an awesome coffee cup, a relaxation & massage kit (again I've been super stressed at work) and loads of $$. It was nice we had a good dinner and each got our own birthday cake. My mom came out Saturday and brought my birthday presents, 4 super deliscious huge cupcakes, a strap for my new muzzleloader (thanks dad) and a bottle of Ciroc to make grape margaritas (as seen on Ellen) She admired my new pinstripes in my hallways..OH I FORGOT. I painted stripes in my hallway, they look soo awsome. And because of that I threw my back out and had to goto the chiropractor, who has magic fingers and now I feel FABULOUS!
But this week is almost over. Nothing spectacular. Just trudging along.
I hope to keep up to date more often. Like I got a new Dr, and a new OB/GYN and a new Chiropractor.
My taxes are about ready to be turned in, and I cant wait for my refund to get my new sectional for updstairs :-) or my tile flooring for downstairs :-D depends on how much.
So yea, thats been the past 4 weeks. TGIF tomorrow and lets hope I make it home tonight ( I heard its a white out and I'm really low on gas :-X)

Snow

So as I look outside and see the foot of snow everywhere I can't help but think it's beautiful. When I think of snow storms and snow days I think of this. Not the brownish slush or icey rain. This is the snow I remember from the '90's snow storms of my childhood. Running through the pine trees and building snow men. The old '76 snowmobile and building snow forts on the farm. The beauty of it all when on q day like this you can have so many memories. I just hope that my parents have such great ones and when I have kids they feel the same way. Maybe today I'll go build a snowman and make some new memories to share.

Looking For: Friendship

Sometimes I wonder why I put myself out there. The sisters & I were going to do a ski trip and only 11 people said they were interested. We ended up changing the idea to a winter wine tour. I got the ticket prices for the polar pass, the cheapest and best limo possible, the date, the time, and I’m all ready to book. Guess what, 2 back out, now 3 more back out. So it’s canceled. After doing all of this and bending to their requests, they all decide to eff it.
It’s just irritating. They’re all telling me to have this big birthday party, but guess what. I know that none of them will show up. It pisses me off. I go out of my way and I need to stop. I need new friends.

Fuck em all. It’s time for some Metallica to make me happy.

Sushi Cravings

So I had the weirdest dream last night. My dad had a pregnancy test that I took and it was positive. He told everyone and it was this whole big deal. It was actually set to like RIGHT NOW, the time frame. I was all upset, Mr. D was upset, and all I wanted to do was eat sushi and have a beer. UGH anyways I screamed I was terminating it and then I woke up. Creepy…but now I want some sushi.
