Guitar Hero

Last night I played my nephew John and his wife Britney and my brother in-law Billy over Wi-Fi in guitar hero and they kicked my butt in every song. My back was killing me I couldn't even sit down. I slept til 9:40 this morning. I guess I needed that.

Snow/sleet

This morning I woke up to ice hitting the window. I got in the shower and got ready for work and then I woke up John to take me to work. I cleaned the ice off of the car and warmed it up. We drove to work in 4-wheel drive, the first time I've had it in 4-wheel drive this winter, and it was pretty nasty. The rode was snow covered and then packed down with ice on top. I'm glad he drove me. The ride to work it about 20 minutes normally and it is mostly highway. But the commuters on the highway drive crazy. We had to be there at 5 am so not too many people were on the rode thank goodness. So me and John unloaded the truck and he stayed with me until someone showed up around 7:45 because he didn't want to leave me there by myself. The power went off for about 5 minutes after he left and I had opened the store, so did the McDonalds and Exxon station and the stop light but there didn't regain power until about noon. We finished putting out the truck before I left at 3pm. When we were coming home the roads were just wet and it was raining. So now I'm home cuddled up on the couch and thinking about making some hot chocolate.

Inventory Day

Well I worked till 10:30pm last night then came home and went to bed and got up this morning at 4:30am and left for work this morning at 5:30am with the snow coming down. Inventory went well, it was just a long day. My boss left before 2pm but the LP manager was still there and I couldn't leave till she left. Tomorrow is truck day and it is supposed to be messy in the morning with snow and ice. I'm so tired I think I'm going to bed. I think I could sleep for days.

Missed the Wedding

Well my nephew got married yesterday and I missed it because of my job. Is that dedication or what. And they don't appreciate it at all. I need to be doing this hard work for my own business not someone elses. John and his mom went to see Maddy and Aunt Rita and Kathy and Jay yesterday at Annie's. 15 houses in Coatesville PA were set on fire last night. There is a rash of
arsons in Coatesville and it is getting a little scary. Tonight the police were in my parking lot and they told us that someone started a fire at a restaurant down the street in the bathroom and they told us to keep an eye on our restrooms and if we see anyone suspicious to call 911.

Woke up stuffy

I woke up this morning with my nose running, a sore thoat, and a headache. I took some airbourne, and advil and another homeopathic medicine that I can't spell. Last time it knocked it
right out of me so I hope it does this time too. I don't have time to be sick. I'm working long hours for the next 10 days and I have alot of work to do. After that I can be sick.

Visit with Madeline

Yesterday I went to see Annie and Madeline for a visit and I was able to help by taking Annie and Madeline to the doctors. She is doing great. I held her for a while then Annie fed her before we went to the drs. and she changed her clothes while I looked on. She dressed her in a little flower footed outfit and the feet looked like Mary Jane shoes. Soo cute. Whe got hot in the waiting room so she wimpered a bit and Annie picked her up and she was fine. Then we got back to the house and visited for a while longer and enjoyed some hot chocolate while Annie made dinner for her and Andrew and it smelled really good. So then it was time to leave cuz I had to get up this morning at 3:30am and we met John at Chili's for dinner. Wow they just announced that cigarettes may go up $1.00 a pack due to taxes to pay for child health care which is wonderful but John better quit.

Inventory

So I have inventory in 2 weeks from tomorrow. I need to work my but off for those next 2 weeks. I should be at work already but I'm just tooo tired. I'm off tomorrow and that will probably be the last day off until after inventory. Tomorrow I'm going to see Annie and baby Maddy. I can't wait to see her again and hold her. Annie is looking really good for just having a baby. So if you don't see a post from me for 2 weeks thats why, cause I'm waking up, going to work, coming home to sleep and repeat.

No Giants at the Super Bowl.

Well the Giants lost and John is acting like he lost his best friend.

Oh Deer

Today John got up and went to Timonium Maryland with his friend Dick to a Fishing Expo and Boat show. They also went to Bass Pro shop. John managed to spend a bit at the Bass Pro shop.
He has a gift card for $200.00 but he couldn't find it to make his purchase, but that is ok cuz he needs to spend that on his new trolling motor if he is going to get one. So I did my Fit workout this morning and played a little guitar hero and then went to work. We were supposed to get some snow today but we hardly got anything. So on the way home tonight I was driving on the bypass and it was dark and a little foggy and then all of a sudden there were two deer. Holy moses. I put on the breaks and tried to stop but went in between them and the one on the left
turned and ran into the back of my truck. I was shaking all over and got an instant headache. My blood pressure must of rose sky high. When I got home I looked over my baby and I didn't see any dents. Hopefully there isn't any tomorrow when the sun comes up.

Meeting Madelyn

Me and John went to the hospital yesterday to meet out niece. When we got there Annie was there by herself with Madelyn (I don't know if I'm spelling her name right) so I held her first and she is soooooo adorable. She is so beautiful. John held her for a while when my arm started hurting. Then I got her back again with the boopie pillow and she slept for about 2 hours in my arms. Then back to uncle John and she didn't even wake up but she did do a poop I think. Then visiting hours were over and we had to leave. Andrew and Mom did come back during our visit and then they went out for dinner. I got an email this morning saying that me and John have the touch and Annie and Maddie slept well last night which is great news. I'm planning on going to visit on Monday if the weather permits. I came home and played guitar hero for a while and did my workout with the fit. I was up at 3:30 am yesterday and I was so ready for bed last night.

I'm bored

I'm on my 4th 7th Heaven show today, it must be a marathon. I need John to get out of his computer room so I can clean the carpet. I want to go to 5 guys to eat but I don't know if John is up to it. I need to go out and get some food if we don't go out. Amy and Jennifer are going full force getting the 50th anniversary party plans underway. Amy is making pictures for the center pieces and Jennifer is constructing the center pieces. My nephew is getting married Janurary 24th and the anniversary party is February 7th. I can't go to the wedding because my inventory at the store is Janurary 27th. Momma is having knee surgery on Feb. 10th. I wish I could stay home that week to help Jennifer take care of her but that would mean we would have to take 2 cars down. John is going to go stay a week with his daughter to take care of her while she has surgery. I guess Mardi Gras is out of the question.

new packaging

So have you seen the new packaging for Oreo cookies? It is fabulous but I have always had this issue with going to get the cookies and they look like they haven't been touched and I pick up the cookies and they are all gone but maybe one or two. Well this happened to me last night I reached in for the package of Oreo's and they still looked sealed up and I said to myself wow he didn't find the oreo's well much to my suprise they were only 5 left in the pack. The new packaging has a reseal top that you peel back and reseal so they don't get stale. Theres nothing worse than a stale Oreo.

Weekend off

Wow I'm off all weekend. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Annie this would be a great time to have the baby. This is the first weekend off in a long long time that I don't have to
go anywhere or do anything. I wanted to go to the train show in Oaks but my car cost me $180 to get the sand out so I think I should not spend any money. There is a family fun center up in Oaks also and they have go carts you can drive and it costs $20 each. I would like to do that sometime, but when someone goes with me that will have fun. I don't think John would enjoy it as much as I would. I also wanted to take John to 5 guys for burgers and fries but he is sick and doesn't have an appetite and is achy all over. So I think I will stay at home and clean the house. Wow sounds like fun :(

Getting the sand out

Well my car is at the dealership for an appointment tomorrow to get the sand out of the air conditioner/heat. When we were at the beach back in October, our house was right on the beach and we parked on basically on the dune. It was very windy while we were there and my car got
full of sand everywhere. Now when you turn on the heat you get covered in sand. Also the fan isn't working so I have to bang on the dash to get it started. I think we are in for snow tomorrow morning but not much. It is getting cold. Yesterday it was sooo windy here that our patio table was tossed around the yard and the glass top broke. We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner since we had to drop my car off and I had turkey and dressing and fried Okra and sweetpotatoe cassarole and it was very good. John didn't have much of an appetite so he had eggs and sausage. Ok I have to go workout on the Wii fit now.
