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)
