Early Christmas

Christmas came early for me and Wes. We decided to get us a new TV that way Mommy can curl up in bed with Aiden and watch "girl" shows, and daddy can watch his "man" shows. That way when we have conflicting shows no one losses. hahaha As Wes nicely put it Blues Clues and WonderPets will be HUGE and even more annoying. hahahahahaha

Replaced the 42 inch with a 55 inch. It's amazing! I did lots of researching and hunting to find the best deal...and I did good!! It's another Vizio and I'm in love once again! Iron Man 2 looked amazing on it! So real looking.

So the other part of our gift was a new console, since my old Target one wouldn't hold up that big of a tv. So again I went out on a hunt....this part took the longest. Everything was WAY over budget or looked cheap or I could just see Aiden just ripping it apart. But success thank you Overstock! It looks perfect in our living room. I love the velvet lined drawers and you can slide the glass doors over the opening, so Mr. Aiden won't attack the modem anymore. YAH!!

So MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Yesterday was SUCH a long day at work!! I only got to see Aiden for the 10 minutes before I leave for work. By the time I left the office Aiden was in bed 9ish pm. That REALLY upset me! At least I got to leave early today to make up some of the time....but I did go to bed upset. Stupid issues and being a lone ranger sucks at those moments. Thank goodness they don't happen every week!!

Other news I have two more BIG presentations left! YAH! Most know I can give small group presentations, but when it's like 60+ people it's a little much....Especially when what you are saying is WAY over the listeners head. That's how next Tuesday will be when I talk about Security. Can't wait!! That presentation will probably last 4 hours. Oh joy! But the good thing is maybe some of my lead team will start realizing the amount of work I do and get me some help, because heaven forbid something happen to me the first of the month....or if a big security meltdown happens. There's not one person in my group that could do what I do and that's scary! All these presentations are about increasing our group budget so it's all about justifying. Understandable but I do have other daily work that is on hold for these LONG meetings...

Enough whining. So Aiden has been going to bed lately around 7:30-8. So weird! Normally it's 9....growth spurt?! I'll have to check his mouth to see if there's a new tooth coming in. He's getting so good at pulling himself up on his knees. Oh and we have moved to new food. Gerber Graduates lil crunchies. It is soo cute watching him eat them! He's growing up so fast! Scary to think about!

Other good news, we are closing on our refinancing the end of this month. YAH! Appraisal is next week. I will be very interested to see what it is now with all our improvements. That new interest rate will be awesome!! Then comes the new roof and front porch. YAH! Now I just have to pick out a shingle color. You wouldn't think that would be so hard...but it is!

Off to bed. EARLY meeting tomorrow.....
