and I was supposed to be working, but it didn't really happen that way.

We woke up and Brian was going to drop me off at my work and then go to his work. Well, his mom was bound and determined to go and pull the truck out of the driveway. Let me describe the truck - Ford Ranger, rear wheel drive = not so good driving in the snow. Brian had dug it out yesterday and was able to back it out of the driveway because he knows what he's doing in the snow. His mom, went out there and backed it out of the driveway and got it stuck in the driveway. We're sitting inside getting shoes and whatnot and you can just hear her out in the driveway spinning the tires on it creating ice like you wouldn't believe. SO, Brian goes out there and tries to back it out of the driveway and it's thoroughly stuck. He eventually got it to the point that I thought he was going to get it out of the driveway, but he backed up and it stalled (it's a stick) and got stuck even worse back behind the first place it got stuck. We're sitting there trying to figure out how we're going to get to work and all that and I can just see Brian was all frustrated. THEN, a super nice man in a nice big rig truck drove up Pecos street and stopped to help Brian. He hooked up a chain and pulled Brian right out on Pecos and off to work he went.

I called my work and told them I'd work tomorrow on the W-9 project we're doing and get that all squared away. I'm not doing anything for Christmas Eve. My entire family lives in Washington State (minus two of my mom's aunts who I never see, but probably should) and then everyone else is driving down to Colorado Springs. I really have no desire to sit in a car for an hour driving down to the Springs. It's not that I don't want to go spend Christmas with Brian's grandma and the rest of his family, I just don't want to be an hour away from my hospital just in case something DOES happen. My friend Melissa invited me to go to Cheyenne, Wyoming to spend Christmas with her family, but to be honest, I do not want to spend an hour in the car going the other direction to get to Wyoming. SO, I'm going to work and stay home and just enjoy the quiet time. Brian is going to stay here rather than go to Colorado Springs so I am not alone and that is it.

But anyway, I think this entry is long enough. I'm going to help Brian's mom make cookies and then probably relax the rest of the day until Brian gets off work. OH HOW EVENTFUL...

OH, and in a side note...if ya'll didn't read my shoutbox thing, Princess_00 had her baby on December 19th! I had noticed an absence from posting and the first thing I thought of was "BABY!!!" Ya'll should drop her a line and wish her congratulations

Yeah... I'm waiting for at least five people to say yay or nay... I've gotten two maybes, a yay and a nay. nutan

You should send the Cookies to Dave so he can distribute them among all Nutangians.

So that means you're the last mom-to-be here?

I had to work Christmas Eve last year. I didn't mind too much since I was unable to come home for the holiday. This year however, I'm spending it with my mom and sister. The rest of the family lives up and down the East Coast; minus one uncle and his wife {whom I've only met once} and a cousin going to school in Chicago, I think.

I wanted to buy a puppy, but I wouldn't be able to afford bringing it back and then afford to take care of it once I got back. I will get a puppy sooner or later though. :)

thanx on wishing me luck
I figured I'd guage my ears one size up {from an 18 to a 16} and see if I had any problems with it; when I didn't I decided I'd do it again, only going one size up at a time. Well, the 14s I bought weren't very good so I just went from a 16 to a 12. that hurt a bit. Right now I can't really feel it, but I can't move them quite yet. that hurts. I think I might go up one more size to a 10, but I doubt I'll go into single digits. :)
