Just got to love Christmas in Florida! Now we do not get the snow we get the rain. Just saw that we are even under a Tornado warning right now. And yes, I am at work! This is not the kind of weather I would want today being that I am at work. Right now we have 3 outages going on, and people are asking to leave early, UHM - NO! Everytime they start to complain, I tell them :I do not wait to hear it, I am technically on vacation, and should have had 11 days off - instead I now only will have 5. They shut-up really quick! Or I just give them this look - it seems I have. They know, that look = walk away and be quiet! I only have a few more hours to go, It is going by fast today, unlike yesterday!
Since I was working today had Christmas last night with Cody and Mom. Cody's birthday was too close to entering college so I did not really get him anything. It was all dorm related or store gift cards that he would need. So, I got him more than he thought he would get for Christmas. He sent me a "wishful list". It had about 8 books on it (Amazon.com since they are odd ball books as usual for him) and a Guitar. Well, I got him 5 of the books, all but one came in. And, I did get him the Guitar. The stupid thing I mentioned that I did was, I printed out his wishful list and left it in sight on the computer stand. Well, he saw my handwritting and thought it was work related (had it folded inside out so what was printed was not showing) so he claims he did not read it. What I did was I took one of the boxes the books came in, filled it with a readers digest I found at work and some sticky note pads. I printed out the order confirmation sheet from ordering it, and stuck that in the box. I had to order the Guitar online as no one in town had it, they had like models, but not his requested one. Should be here this week I hope! I just ordered it Saturday night. Then I also got him a Magic Bullet. He was telling me a few months ago about how someone down at the New College dorm had one in their room, and it was awesome! He was talking about all the cool stuff they made. When he opened the box, he grinned from ear to ear, he was so excited and no clue since he did not ask for it. I did get him a stocking from Dollar Tree that was almost as big as me! It was big for 1.00! Got him his usuall everyday necessities for it (socks, boxers, shampoo, mouthwash,etc)
I gave my Mother a "Score-It" that we saw on a craft web show and then in a craft magazine. Luckily she had not seen it, and had no clue about it. But, already opened it and put it together. I told her she better use the heck out of it. And I am sure she will. She makes beautiful cards! I love the cards she makes, and this will help her out alot. I wanted to get her a couple of card magazines, but they did not have the one I wanted to get. It will just be a delayed one.
Well, travel plans are still up in the air. All I do know is that I have to be in TyTy before Thursday morning as Cody and I are babysitting Thursday and Friday so Jennifer can work. Was leaving today after work to head up to Atlanta, but have not packed and the weather sucks! So maybe tomorrow morning early. Tons of places are having sales tomorrow, so I may just have to stop in Gainesville. Got a email today that Griffins will have a sale. Will be very very limited as I overspent for Christmas, but there might be something I just can not live without. Darn Scrapbook Shoppe had an email that they will take Joann and Michaels gift cards this week - ouch! I got one from a co-worker for christmas, so I think I may just have to use it there. Hopefully they still have in the Revel dies I want. And RR has a sale all week, I have something I bought there that I need to return, that will help with a credit to them. Whimsodoodle sent out a sale thing they they will be having 60%off alot of stock and 50% off overstock of QK dies. I am sure it will be ones I already have. So I do not need to go there, as I do not have a credit or return to them. All this talk about shopping, and I probably will not do any! Only what I have as a gift card or return. Besides new QK dies in about a week, and heard a rumor it will be theme park dies - ohhhh awww.
Can you tell I am bored out of my mind? Sorry to just go on and on! So I better close, yeah it stopped raining for a little bit
