New Year, New Changes

so midnight will finally bring 2009.. hopefully another fantastic year! 2008 has been so good to me.. its hard to imagine anything better.. lets see I got engaged, got a house, a cat, went to Italy and passed the freakin CPA exam! But some things to look forward to.. getting MARRIED!, Jamaica, actually becoming a CPA, a nice pay increase and hopefully some good times with family and friends. I can't believe the wedding is less than 6 months away now!

Anyways, we are having a small get together at our house tonight. My family, his family, Jess & Danny.. should be fun. And we are probably picking up the Siamese/Ragdoll kitten either this weekend or next! :) Her name is Rosebud right now.. but we're trying to think of something more appropriate. We've got Kairi, Mika, and Ari so far.. I think Kairi is the winner but we'll see.

Well.. I'm off! Talk to you next year!!

Ciao!

My first large family meal

was yesterday... I cooked a ham, corn, cheesy potatoes, mac n cheese, green beans and rolls. I've watched my mom and grandma prepare this meal many a time and wonder whats the big deal.. why is everyone so stressed? Well I found out yesterday! Thankfully it all turned out well.. but man I'm glad I don't do this every night lol!!

I can't believe its Christmas this week.. although its freakin freezing outside and we've had some snow it just doesn't feel like it should be this time of year. I'm done with all of my Christmas shopping and have all but one of my presents wrapped.. the office is having the Christmas party tonight where everyone will reveal their secret santa's. Should be fun..

Anyways, we've been looking into adopting another kitten but I'm being kinda superficial this time around. One of my favorite Disney movies is the Lady and the Tramp and I've always had a thing for Siamese cats so I have been on a hunt for a kitten that is fairly local and doesn't cost 600 bucks! Well.. I found 2 in columbus, oh and they want 200. They are already spayed and up to date on shots so its a pretty good deal for that breed of cat. So we'll see.. we're going to wait until after the holidays. Hopefully Josie accepts her new lil sister! ;)

Well, that's all I feel like writing for now. I'll post a pic of the cat we're looking at and I'm sure I'll write more after the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone!

All I really want for Christmas is..

Not So Silent Nights

so its been awhile since I last blogged. I've been busy. I've had this ingrown toenail (I know, gross right?) for almost a month. Went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago who gave me an antibiotic and told me to soak it in epsom salt and sent me on my way. Well.. it still fucking hurts! So I have a feeling they're going to have to pull it.. which grosses me out and I worry that it won't grow back lol. We'll see. I'm going to try and stick it out another week.

Christmas is only weeks away.. which is so crazy. It just doesn't feel like it should be this time of year for some reason.. But I am over halfway done with my xmas shopping so that's nice. I have to bake cookies this week for my family's cookie exchange.

This past weekend weekend, we went to the Not So Silent Night concert which had 3 local bands, Safetysuit, the Tings Tings and Shiny Toy Guns-- whom I love :) It was a lot of fun and by the end of the night I was front row in the pit. My ears are still ringing lol.

That's been about it besides some random drunken nights and normal boring workdays. I'm sure I'll have more to talk about when it gets closer to the holidays.

Until next time.. Ciao!
