I am prepping for the season.... I have mailed gifts so that I can continue to be a half way decent TT to my niece and nephew. I have attempted to hang Christmas decor in my house. I will tell you that I failed because my wreath decided that it did not want to stay on the door so it is now decorating my Kitchen Counter. I did not put up my pre-lit tree because no one was going to see it but me and since I will be heading into the South here soon- there was no point. Be that as it may, I am still very much looking forward to HOME!
No too much going on with me! I have been staying pretty busy here at the J_O_B. Very busy in fact. I have received 2 birthday presents from my favorite student worker and Admin Assistants. I have mentioned my student worker a few times so I will give her a name- Minnie! I actually call her Minnie to her face. She is the sweetest girl around and if I could clone her and keep her by my side 24-7 I would. The girl is fantastic. She brought me a box of Chocolate Truffles as an early Bday gift. Her Bday is on Sunday- I should have been giving her a gift! I also received a festive card from my friend Dale! Thanks Dale!!!
That is it from me....
Until later

Senioritis
I feel like I have a terrible case of Senioritis but I am not a senior in school or even a student. I am TIRED- Not physically. Mentally drained is more like it. I am officially counting down the days until I am home (a clue to those who have asked- 10 days or less). I do not feel like being at the J-O-B because I would rather be spending time with my loved ones. That does not mean that I hate my job- I am super Thankful to be employed. But when I say that I need a Mental VACAY- believe me! Also, if you live in my home state and have not made plans to get on my calendar, please do so now. My time is quickly becoming other peoples time to spend with me. I received a phone call last night from my Tootsie TELLING me not ASKING me to bake holiday cookies. Do I have time to bake cookies? NOT Really! Will I? Probably! Will my Tootsie treat me to a slice of pizza or Chinese Buffet? I sure do hope so! HINT!!!!
I started Christmas shopping the other day. Online to be more specific. I need to do a little shopping for my niece and nephew so I can get their gifts in the mail by Monday. If not I could win the WORST TT ever award! And that is not an option!
I also went to the movies, I seem to go a lot these days, and saw Love and Other drugs with my friend. The movie was pretty good! Not exactly what I was expecting. A great Red box rental! Earlier that day, I had watched The day after tomorrow and the Princess Bride! A nice introduction to the acting skills of Jake Gyllenhall and Anne Hathaway. A little bit of nudity but nice comedy!
That is it for me! I am going to try to shake this Senioritis (I doubt that will happen). Have a great weekend!!!

Getting Ready and Acting Out
I did so well last week- I blogged 5 times! And then I had to take a small break! So let's play catch up!
My sweet iNdee (my iPhone) had been having a few problems. The volume button fell off for some reason. I took him to the Apple Store where they told me they would give me a new phone (a surprise to me since my warranty was out of date). My case for iNdee also broke (second time for that type of case) but they replaced it for free since it was under warranty! So basically I am rocking a new phone that looks just like my old phone! Yay! When I took my phone to the Apple store the man told me that I would be putting my phone in a box and called it the phone coffin! So sad!!!
I am counting down the days until I am back in the south for Christmas. Only a few people know the exact date but I am getting a kick out of family members guessing! SOON! That is all that I can tell you. Not tomorrow- I have to work. Next week kicks of finals here at the J-O-B and I am busy with programs but SOON!
I have not been feeling like myself lately. On Sunday, I was definitely channeling my Grammy. I stayed in the house all day and cleaned! I am trying to get my house in order (which is difficult since I am usually busy or not motivated to get the job done). I took the time to set up the ironing board and iron for quite a while! One thing that My Grammy is notorious for is ironed clothes. She does not believe that you should leave the house looking "rough dried" in other words having taken your clothes out of the dryer. She does not like wrinkles and will tell you to take something off and iron it. When I was growing up she ironed EVERYTHING! Even the Sheets on the bed! So that is what I did on Sunday. I ironed the sheets and put them on my bed! I must really be missing that woman if I ironed my sheets! I also cooked dinner. I baked chicken, made some purple hull peas, cabbage, corn bread and baked sweet potatoes.
The snow is finally melting. I am hoping to not see anymore until 2011! I can not believe 2010 is almost over! I am going to claim 2011 as a FANTASTIC year. I am going to think some great positive thoughts and start praying that 2011 is just the BEST!!!! Oh well- I have got to go but I will be back again soon!

Up all Night
My last full day in Phoenix was on Black Friday. I did quite a bit of shopping that day starting at 3:45AM. My aunt and I met up with her good friend Tonya and her daughter, Courtney. We began at Target, went to Wally World and ended at the mall. I hit up New York and Co because they were having a 60% off sale which was something that I could not pass up. I had tons of fun with my aunt. She dropped me off at their house and went to work. I happily went back to bed and got a few more hours of rest. By the time that she got off we went back out to the mall and shopped until 7 that evening. I was WORE out! My feet hurt and just wanted to rest. I also bought myself a cute Birthday/Christmas gift that I am not using until the actual days arrive. And I decided to leave you with 2 more pictures!!! one of my cousin who did not want to show his face (which is fine since I don't know if he would appreciate being on the blog).

PHX
Back in the office today! It was nice to have HUMP Day off, but the semester ends in 2 weeks so we are down to the wire! The snow is still on the ground... It is deep and very wet today. I was happy to be wearing my boots today.
So where did I leave you? Oh YES! So on Thanksgiving Morning- My Uncle and I headed off to Church! My Grammy has always been a big "You have a lot to be Thankful for- so Go to Church on Thanksgiving" kind of person. I had a nice time at church with my Uncle and the man who usually sits next to him was perplexed that this woman was sitting next to my uncle. After church, my uncle introduced me to Dexter and said that I was his niece who was visiting for the holiday. Dexter replied by saying "Good. Because I would hate for you to have some woman in the seat that your wife usually sits in. This puts me in a bad position!" Ha I love it! That is the typical response when strangers see me with my older big headed loving brother! It has to be because we look NOTHING alike~
After church, we headed back to the house and had a great breakfast. If you have never had Bubbling Bread- Find it and eat it! I love it and haven't had it in years. My Grammy stopped making that a long time ago. I will try to find the recipe and post that soon! We had a scrumptious dinner! My Aunt did a fantastic job! It was so nice to spend the holiday with family! People who really know you and have seen you grow up. My cousins pestered me the WHOLE time that I was there. Is it because they don't have a sister and was their adopted sister for a few days? POSSIBLY!
After dinner (and a rest)- We did my favorite holiday past time! FAMILY GAMES! I am a nerd. I play Words with Friends on my iPhone daily! I love to read and I am decent with word games. My Aunt and Cousins told me that no one beats my uncle but low and behold I came in and whooped up on him pretty good. We played Boggle which is a game that my family plays when together.
I have to run but I will finish my last day in Phoenix talking about Black Friday and some of my purchases... I just checked my bank statement today and I am still hurting from the damage!
