thanks kay I stayed up late getting christmas things gift bagged.
I have no idea what to shop for jeff. I am such a terrible shopper. His life is music and he gets what ever he wants....
sigh
bizi who is running late on very little sleep.

[bizi]

whew!
Went to dinner for a retirement party for 3 colleagues at the school of music where jeff teaches. Had lasagna...it was very good. Had 3 drinks and they went down easy.
Came home and I finished all of my billing...yeah!
Glad that is done.
I am behind in my charting but that can wait.
very busy rest of the week.
will get up early and take a shower....much needed.
watched x-files and am heading to bed.

good day.

[OhKay]

I'm glad you were able to get your billing taken care of. That will take some pressure off for the busy week ahead.

3 drinks is not bad.

I hope you enjoy your shower and have a good day

One more day of work and I am finished for 2 weeks!

Tonight for dinner:
Hubby and I cooked something different together.
It was called hello fresh.
They sent us 3 boxed meals with fresh ingredients. and all of the ingredients in little containers.
WE had steak tonight with a soy/ginger reduction glaze.
wasabi mashed potatoes
seseme spinach
There was a big white potato that had to be peeled and quartered and boiled so every thing needs to be cooked. But every thing is already measured out for you so it was easy.
TIME consuming.
It took both jeff and I cooking for about 45 minutes easy to get things all hot and ready at the same time.
When it was all said and done we enjoyed the meal. and it was something different. Different is good.
There are 2 more meals to fix. my girl friend and I are going to cook them together on saturday for dinner. One is a turkey tetrazinni and the other is sausage meal. enough for 4 people but will only be 3 of us.
We are having the mortons over for dinner tomorrow night. Jeff is going to fix a shrimp dish. They are coming over at 6-630 I should be done by 5;30-6pm.
Saturday morning 10am, I am going to have my hair high lighted with color The last time they colored it, it was darker. so now that it has been bleached and conditioned We can use color to "high light it" and color actually conditions it. girlfriend comes at 4.

We are leaving sunday morning...I should pack this evening...It is so warm Not sure what to bring. Remember it was so cold last year. I froze!!!!!
Jeff was in china and it was warm there. lol
Instead of snow we could have rain. I think I will bring 2 winter coats a light weight one and a heavy parka. just throw it into the back seat.
We decided to NOT rent a car. It was going to cost $625 for the 2 weeks. can't afford that.
Brenda the pet sitter will watch the cats every other day which they will be fine. Will ask the neighbor to move the paper to the back porch door so it is not so obvious that we are not there.
Jeff went shopping. I got the perfect gift for him.
He happen to mention that he watched the last part of a movie he really liked "summer of 42". I could not remember the name of the movie once he was out of the room so I called his friend whom he stayed with in the hotel where they watched the movie this week while on a recruiting tour. He remembered !!!! So I went on amazon and found it and also the book .
I ordered both of them and had them shipped to his moms place. So they will be there for christmas!
I called her and left her a message that there will be three things coming her way...that are for jeff.
I need to buy a bottle of wine for my dad, and my shopping will be done.
Think I will have a nice glass of eggnog wine!

I am not happy. I am up 10 pounds since November 1st.

Not sure which day you will get to Indiana. But starting Monday the weather forecast for my area which is Lafayette is 45 or close on Sunday, then its going into the 50's for the rest of week till Thursday so far. It sounds like its
going to be in 50's on Christmas also. Many may complain no snow, but not
me I love the 50's even on Christmas. Its much easier for me to travel to
Kokomo also.

Safe travels.
Donna

Oops sorry the hugs went in wrong place.

[OhKay]

It sounds like you will be busy, busy, busy!!!

Hello Fresh sounds like it's interesting, and the food sounds great. But it seems like it requires a lot of elbow grease.

It's so difficult to pack with the weather as unpredictable as it's been everywhere. It's looking like it will be about 50 degrees here on Christmas Day... that's just crazy!

I'm glad you were able to find the perfect gift for Jeff. I know you were having a hard time finding something for the musician who has everything he wants.

[bizi]

My girl friend nicole is coming over around 4 to help me prepare the last 2 meals from hello fresh. These will be easier to prepare. jeff insists that we prepare them separately, i wanted to combine them.
Getting my hair high lighted this morning, should not take too long.
Then I have a few things to do.
I went to whole foods after work and had a couple of beers then out with friends to the tap room for a couple more. Fun time.
Got home late, jeff was upset because I had told him that I was only going to be gone an hour. and I did not get home till almost midnight and I did not have my phone. Mark brought me back home.
have a great day!

[OhKay]

I'm glad you had a good time!

I had a lot of problems with my husband when I would go out, tell him I'd come home at a specified time, and come home late. But it sounds like that was a rare occasion for you, and Jeff seems like he is an understanding husband.

I'm happy you're going to get pampered today and are having your hair done

[bizi]

Yes that was the first time it happened.
He is a wonderful man.
Am very lucky to have him in my life.

Hair came out great!
Finally I am happy with it.

The hello fresh meal came out great, we had fun cooking it, the 30 minute meal took us an hour to fix. It was very good soup.
Changed the answering message on my phone, am doing a load of laundry, scrubs so I don't have to bother with them when we get back.

need to start packing!
bizi
finished packing still need to pick up geodon, they would not let me fill it earlier than sunday....gr!!!! oh I could have filled it at $450 out of pocket...even so it costs me $135 a month but is worth every penny!
done packing need to dig out the parka/boots if some weird snow storm ever develops. looks clear and rainy and no snow in site.
