Vacation over

So Friday I went to a meeting for work and took a vegetable tray and 2 other people brought
veggie trays. The meeting was over at 3:30 and I took Randy home and then headed to Coatesville to drop off Anne Marie and I knew that traffic would be bad so I took the back way into Coatesville, while driving thru the south part of the city I saw one of the houses that had burned. I got home about 5 and then we loaded the car and headed to Virginia. We dropped John's mother off at Steve's house and then we headed to West Point. We got there about 9:30 and talked with my parents neighbors that have moved into there house they built. So we went in the kitchen of my parents house and my dad was making hot crossed buns yummy. Amy and Rich showed up shortly after us and we talked for a while and then all went to bed. We got up Saturday morning and Sandra, Jennifer, Amy and Maggie went to a pedicure for there birthday and Maggie got her fingernails painted. We stayed around the house most of the day and went for a walk downtown and then went up to Shawn and Sandras for some guitar hero fun. We got home about 11pm. We got up Sunday and Billy and Sandra went to Hardie's and go everyone breakfast. We didn't do much again this day. We played outside because it was nice out. We left my parents house about 5:30 pm and 95 was horrible. It tooks us 3 hours to get to John's brothers house to pick up his mom. We got home at 11:30.

day 6

Ok today me and John's mother left at 10am and headed to Annie's. We got there around 11:30. It was raining so I didn't drive as fast as I usually do. Maddy is cute as a button and I got to change her diaper. We went to the yarn shop and Annie showed us Yardley and New Town. Then we trecked back home. I decided to go to Walmart after dinner to get the stuff I needed to make the Vegetables and Dip to take to the meeting. When I got home John told me he drank all the milk so I ended up going to Walmart while his mom fixed dinner. After dinner I made my dip and cut up my veggies. I'm washing clothes so I can pack for the visit to Virginia for the weekend, cuz I plan to get home from the meeting and grab the dogs and get on the road. Of course that probably won't happen because John will probably have to work late. But whatever happens, happens. I think I'm going to map out to see if I can find a better way during rush hour to get to Steve's house.

day 5

So yesterday I went to Walmart and that was it. Thats it, thats all I did all day. Today isn't turning out much different. I got up I did do my Wii fit today but only 15 minutes of it. Maybe I will do the other 15 later. I have many friends that want to get together with me but they want to get together after work. Tomorrow we are going to visit Annie and Maddy so maybe that will heal my cabin fever. Friday I have a meeting for work and then we are leaving for Virginia for a visit. I have this orange spot on my garage and I think someone paint balled my house. I haven't checked the front of the house yet to see if we got hit more than once. I hope it washes off. I sure am glad they didn't hit my car. I'm really missing work but I think it is because i'm not doing anything. I like to stay busy and sitting around the house is not me.

day 4

Happy St. Patricks Day to all. I woke up this morning at 8am and I didn't even know that John was gone to work. I slept like a rock. The sun is out today yea. It hasn't been out at all all weekend or yesterday. I went to get my nails done yesterday and went to the Rite Aid beside the nail salon and talked to the manager. I found out from her that I won't be getting a bonus this year, which I didn't expect. I need to clean today, maybe since the sun is out it will inspire me. I found out that the meeting Friday should be over at 2 or 3. I'm hoping 2 that way I can get home at 3 and we can leave if John is home. The Vet just called and the dog food is in that I ordered. Maybe I'll go out there and pick that up and go to JC Penney's and see what they have to shop for. Or maybe I'll pick it up Thursday on the way to Annie's. I hate not knowing what I want to do. I don't feel like doing anything but I'll kick myself if I don't do something. It is supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow. Nice.

Day 3

I slept til 9ish this morning. I was up at 6am with Johns alarm but I went back to sleep until the stupid alarm went off again because he hit snooze instead of off. I made some coffee and checked out facebook and the news. I'm waiting to get on a conference call for work at 1pm. I'm hungry so I think I'm going to go get a bowl of cereal. I'm going to go get my nails done after my conference call because I'm planning on getting together with a friend tomorrow and Wednesday and go see Maddy on Thursday maybe. Thats my plan. I need to do the work around the house before I go visiting though. John's brother is coming for a visit next month so I need to get into the spare bedrooms and get them cleaned up.

Day 2

Ok let me tell you about last night first. We went to the party and we took a case of Beer. We talked and talked for a long time. I hadn't seen my friends in a long time. We played flip cup. In case you don't know about it I will tell you. You have two teams of 4 and you put some beer in each cup and one player from each team hits there cups together like cheers and then they tap there cups on the table then they drink and then they place there cup on the edge of the table upside down and they have to flip the cup so it stands up right, when the player does this then the next player takes there drink and so on and so forth and the first team that finishes wins. It can be a loud game and very competitive. It was fun. Ok so this morning I get up at 9am and I'm doing so laundry. I don't think it is going to be an eventful day. Maybe some more doing of the laundry, maybe some WII playing, and maybe just maybe I might change the sheets. Wah hoo. Happy Anniversay to me.

Vacation day #1

Well I slept til 8:30 am, got up made coffee, checked my email and face book. Then I checked my pants in the washer that I washed last night but there must of been a tissue in the washer because the pants, that I want to wear today were covered with little pieces of tissue, so I rewashed them. They still had a little tissue on them so I put them in the dryer for a while. Well now the pants fit better than they ever did, could be that I gained weight but I'm going with the shrinking in the wash/dryer. Then after a little of surfing the net I got in the shower and got myself all made up for the party. I even remembered my jewelry (I always forget to put it on). So now we are waiting for John, we are supposed to leave in 20 minutes, we should make it. I'm watching Big Fish on Tv while I'm writing this, The giant in the movie used to live in West Chester PA and he used to Bounce at a bar there (15 North) which I found out this week that is closed it's doors on Sunday. So tonight when we get home from the Birthday party we have a St. Patty's party to go to. What a fun packed first day of vacation.

Right after I left.

Today after I left the store my assistant called me to tell me that a customer had colapsed in the pharmacy and the pharmacists and tech proformed CPR until the Ambulance got there and still continued until the EMT's could switch places. They also shocked him 5 times but he still wasn't
breathing, they took him to the hospital. We found out later that he didn't make it. My employees are awsome to jump in and do CPR without even thinking. To give mouth to mouth to a stranger is couragous. Even medical personnel don't do it without a guard. I always say things happen for a reason. He could have gotten in him car and had a heart attack, then he could have hurt more that just himself. We think he had a massive heart attack. Also he died with people trying to save his life and he could have died all alone. I'm so proud of my employees. I don't think I could have done what they did today. Just another reminder that life is short, don't go to bed mad.

3 more DAYS

Only 3 more days till vacation. Yeah :) I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I don't know if John is taking the week off also. I have asked him several times and I'm kind of tired of asking, so if he does he does and if he doesn't he doesn't. I would like to do a good cleaning of the house. Wash the curtains, dust the stuff, vaccum behind and under the furniture. I'll let you know if that happens. I have to make something to take to the meeting on Friday and I don't know what I will take. Maybe a vegetable tray or a fruit salad. But with the funds not there I don't now how I'm going to swing it. These days there isn't any extra money. I pay bills and thats it, no extra. I need to get my nails done before the birthday party and St. Patty's day party I'm going to, so hopefully I can dig up the money for that.

5 days of work then vacation

Hello All,

So I have to work the next 5 days and then I will be on a much needed vacation. On Saturday we are going to a 90th birthday party for Aunt Rita in Philadelphia. Then we are invited to a St Patty's Day party in West Chester. I want to go to this party and I want John to go with me but I don't think he will or wants to. I've never gone to this party and not had to work the next morning. It would be fun to go and enjoy myself for a night. Sunday is our Anniversary, 12 years of marriage. It doesn't feel like that long. I don't have much planned for the week except I have to go to a meeting for work on Friday and then we are going to Virginia for the weekend for Jennifer, Amy and Maggie's birthday party.

Tuesday Off

Ok, I'm off today and what to do. Play my WII? Clean the house? Veg on the couch? Pick up my knitting? Read a book? What to do, What to do? John is off today too because of the weather, it is cold and snow covered outside. I'm going on vacation in 11 days so I could clean the house then. I really need a good dusting. But there is soooo much stuff to move to dust. And the allergy attack that will go with it, it doesn't sound like much fun to me. I would love to rearrange my living room and get a big screen tv. I don't know what I will do with all of my gnomes if I get a big screen tv.

Snowy Monday

So I woke up this morning at 6am and the ground was covered with snow. I drove to work with no trouble. I put the 4 wheel drive on and off I went. I saw a car sliding down a hill and a pickup truck trying to get thru an intersection and was turning sideways. While on my way to work my windshield cracked all the way across. The snow started falling really hard at about 8am and it snowed til the afternoon. The wind is strong also so the snow on the ground is now drifting back
onto the road.
