Yesterday Jason and I decided to celebrate my birthday, which is the 18th. He starts school again on Tuesday so it just seemed like a good idea to celebrate on the weekend. He took me out for brunch… Then we went to see The Phantom of the Opera and had dinner afterwards… It was a nice day. 
Phantom was really good. I have seen it on stage twice and totally love it… I wasn’t sure what to expect from the movie but overall it was great. There is something about the music in that show that just gets to me…. I always get the chills when I see it performed… The phantom in the movie wasn’t the best I have seen but he definitly didn’t ruin the music or anything….
So how did you all bring in the New Year?? We brought it in with what I like to call “happy family time” Happy familiy time is when we both grab a cat…. then go lay in bed… Sure Feeny screams bloody murder and Tigger looks really afraid…. but we are together…
Happy 2005 everyone… Lets hope everyone’s year is filled with many Happy Family Times…
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!!!
This Christmas has been one of my best ever I think…. It has been nice just being able to relax and hang out with family… that and it is mine and Jason’s first Christmas married to each other… I recieved so many wonderful presents this Christmas… here is a partial list that should include at least the big stuff
Ipod mini blue
Dyson animal vacuum(sp?)
Sizzix machine and accessories
Air filter (one where you don’t change the filter just clean it)
Scrapbook stuff
Rare Dean Koontz books
The new Dean Koontz book
Quarters for laundry
Kitty stuff….
Needless to say I am very blessed as is evident from the list… There are several things on that list I didn’t think I would be getting for quite a while yet…. Hope everyone had a great Christmas… Jason and I are heading home tomorrow so blogging may or may not become more regular after that….
This morning Jason says to me “I had a nightmare about the book I’m reading.” That may not be surprising if he was reading one of my Koontz books or something… But the book he is reading is a research book for class… I asked what it was about… He replies “Colonialism” I just smile and nod and let him go off to shower… I think someone has spent a little too much time studying.
Frank the turkey that is.
Jason and I spent the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday visiting our parents and family up in Wisconsin. It was a fun weekend. Wednesday I spent the day helping my sister set up her new laptop (which means I got my old one back) and having dinner with my parents while Jason caught up with old high school friends at a party…
Thursday was the main event… We spent the morning watching Harry Potter III and convincing Frank (Jason’s family’s turkey) to finally reach 180 degrees… Around 1 he warmed up a little and we enjoyed a great Thanksgiving meal #1… Then it was of to my house for Thanksgiving meal #2… the turkey there was unnamed… but we almost had a crisis when Sassy (my parents dog) didn’t have a chair at the table… But never fear I was offered cranberry goo… Just as I am every single year since birth… and just as I have, every single year since birth, I told my parents I don’t like it… Ahhhh traditions… Then it was back to Jason’s parent’s house for some good old reliable cut throat competition with a dose of fun thrown in… We played spades and hearts and had a good time winning and losing….
Friday we had lunch with an old high school friend and then hit the road for the six hour drive home to two kitties who hadn’t been loved in three days… Friday also marks an anniversary for Jason and I… If we were still dating (instead of being married) it would have been our seven year anniversary… What better way to share it than with family and friends in the morning and two needy kitties at night… Now if only we could have skipped that drive in between…
And last but not least… I don’t think I have said this here… but all the wedding pictures are now available for your viewing pleasure here.
Well I have subbed three times now… once in a first/second grade room, once in a Kindergarten room and once in high school. I don’t like high school…. I’m just not cut out for it… It is actually easier… there is less work at the high school level… But I just can’t handle the disipline (sp?), the lack of care that they have… the PDA’s in the hallway… the baggy pants…. all of it… I didn’t like high school kids that much when I was one and I don’t now… But let me at those kindergarteners again!!! So that is high school bad…
Husband good… Before I started subbing I had been doing a lot of the work around here…. as far as laundry and dishes goes… but now that I have been a little busier J has been doing what he can when he can to help out… it is great coming home and seeing the pile of dishes gone and a load of laundry in the dryer… He also made shortbread cookies last night… I think they were really good but he didn’t like them as much as he likes the ones that he buys for snacks….
