I'm excited for this weekend!! Stephanie, who's like a sister to me, is coming down from Dallas for a girls weekend. I'm sure it'll be a nice break from the kids for her too. Hopefully I don't drive her too crazy.

One more day of work, and then I'm gonna talk and shop and treat myself for some well-deserved TLC!

Yay!

That is all... goodnight :o)

Yay!

I had a half day at work today and decided that I was going to FINALLY get some stuff done for once. Hopefully I didn't burn any bridges/irritate my coworkers when i walked out on time at 2:02pm :o)

I went to the Social Security Admin in Georgetown to get my name changed back to my maiden name. It only took me 3 months, so what! I asked the lady there if she knew if I would have to wait to get my SS Card in the mail or if I could maybe get my new Drivers License today too. She said "Well I know technically you need to wait, cuz this paper isn't a card. But I'll let you keep your card instead of taking it, and then they should do it for you. Just make sure you destroy it in a horribly burny fire so I don't lose my job or something."

So I went to the Texas DPS and Ole'!! They gave me a new license. The only traumatic feelings I experienced from this un-expected joy are: a) I totally didn't do my hair OR put on my makeup. So I will look like death in my picture and b) I meant to practice a sassy new way to sign my name and I didn't. Bummer.

But besides that, the entire experience was very winning!! Now I can do all the rest of the fun stuff like changing my 32 bank account/credit cards, and all my billing stuff. Sigh...oh well :o)

Holidaze

I'm not sure what I should do for the Holiday's yet this year. Last year I was pretty much alone cuz my ex was at work, but there was still the recognition that I had family in town.

I have 1 more day of vacation for the year. I can't have the day off after Thanksgiving cuz my coworker already reserved it so I'll be staying at home. I'm thinking I will create a turkey-shaped paper mâché form, but use turkey sandwich meat instead of paper. Then it will look and smell and taste like the majestic bird and not require me to know how to prepare a full-blown turkey. Shawn also has no family in town, so maybe I'll make turkey mâché for two.

Shawn's going home to visit his family for Christmas with all his fancy vacation days. I have a friend/fake sister who's invited me up to spend the holiday's with them. I don't know if "holidays" include both Thanksgiving and Christmas yet. Here's to hoping that they do.

I hope my family isn't bugged by me not coming to Utah for my Christmas and 1 vacation day. I just don't want to have another super rushed visit home. Plus I really can't afford plane tickets right now.
