By the way......I know my posts are getting boring.....hang in there with me! I'm almost out of transition!!!

Thanksgiving 2006......
We had a very nice turkey day this past week. My kids and their spouses came up. Dana and Ann had Amanda and Mitch up and Jeneka and Evan were home from college. Stephen joined us later in the day.
Melissa made 6 great looking pies. They also tasted great. I'm an apple fan myself so I was happy! Here is a picture of Melissa with her pies.

Tiffany made some fudge and brought a veggie platter and dip. The fudge was really good! I never knew you had it in ya, Tiff! I'm proud of you. You can take over fudge duties from now on. I don't have a picture of Tiffany with her fudge but here's the next best thing with her fudge!




It was an overall uneventful day......just the usual teasing and raising hell. Dana, Ann, Jeneka, Evan & Julianna (Evan's girlfriend) went with Danny and I to the movies that night to see "Bobby" which is the story behind the murder of Bobby Kennedy. Jeneka and I thought it was a great movie, Dana hated it, Danny, Evan and Ann thought it was eh, okay. I would recommend it!


Congratulations to Sharon and Willy!!!!! Also known as Grandma Mimi and Grampa B....Their son Jim and his wife Jen had their first child, Alexa Paige McGarrity. Congratulations to all! I wanted to post pictures but this blog page doesn't let me load bitmaps....she's a beauty though! Looks just like her Mimi.

Wow! Is it that time already?

I guess it's time for another blog. We have been working as usual. I'm adjust much better now but still don't think I'll be working there for a long time. I'll just take things as they come. I continue to look at other possibilities but so far, nothing solid has turned up. Danny is still liking his new job. We were talking about what a freedom it finally is for him to be out of all of the bullshit that went along with the old job. Life is much better now and much simpler for us. Things are good. We're counting down the days until we close on the new house. I wish I could access the pictures but it's not working out the way I want it to so I'll post them as soon as we close, I promise!
This week is Thanksgiving and Dana and Ann are on vacation. Evan is home from college for the week and Jeneka will be home on Wednesday. We're looking forward to all getting together here with the family on turkey day. Danny has Friday off and me, being the low man on the totem pole at work, will be working on Friday. Gone are the days of getting up at the crack of dawn to go shopping and then on to the Bonney Eagle craft fair.....hopefully those days will come again soon! I've got 95% of my shopping done anyway and shouldn't be spending extra money so I guess it's all working out for the best. Life has a way of doing that.
I spent Saturday taking the dogs for yet another lousy haircut and while I was waiting for them, I went and visited Carolyn at Guidi's and had breakfast. I then went to get my own haircut. I took the dogs back home (or what we are calling home right now :-) ) and Ann and I picked Melissa up and went up to Beans and then on to do some other shopping. We finished our night off at Bugaboo Creek. The guys went out hunting for poor defensless deer all day and then ordered some macho ultimate fight on tv and stayed up later than they should have. Today, Danny and I did chores and then he made an awesome lasagne for dinner. The deal was, he made everyone lasagne only if someone ironed his clothes for the week......guess who? That would be me!
Okay, enough jabbering....not much else to blog about but I'll be sure to take lots of pictures on Thanksgiving and post them. We have much to be thankful for this year. Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving!

And the beat goes on.......
Well, it's been a while since I've done a blog so I thought I'd give you a quick run down on the latest happenings.......not much happening! We're waiting on all of the paperwork for the closing of our new home. Danny is home from his travels last week and I'm settling in to my new job. I've been really tired but I expected it really......especially since I haven't had to get up early in the morning for a few years. Things are okay though. We've got a little more than 3 weeks until we close on the house. This weekend Dana and Ann will be traveling to upstate NY to see Evan run in a cross country meet. Danny and I will be holding down the fort. Tiffany is having some surgery on Friday so I want to be around to help her out. On Saturday we'll be spending some time with Deidre and Dave. I plan on visiting with my father while we're up that way too. There's not much else going on but I'll certainly keep you all updated weekly. I hope my buddies in Rochester are doing well! They're expecting their first grandbaby any day now! We miss you!!

Home inspection and work.....
We did the home inspection this past Sunday. Everything went well. We've got a little more than 4 weeks to go until we close. That will be on a Monday so we'll take the week and do all of the cleaning and stuff like that at night. The weekend will be spent moving. Thats the weekend of December 8 - 10 for those of you who might want to help! :-)
Danny is out of town this week and won't be back until Monday. He called tonight and told me that he met George Bush at dinner tonight. He'll be sending me the pictures so I'll put them on here. Not that I'm a fan.....sorry! He is full of SH** though, so I can't wait to see what these pictures consist of. Once we get moved, I'll stop being so lazy about putting pictures on here and post some.
I started my new job on Monday. Between the time change and the fact that I have to rise up out of bed with the rest of the world, I've been coming right home at night and crashing. I'm sure things will be better next week though. Things are going well but I'll definately be busy once I'm trained. They've told me that I probably won't be fully trained for a year. I'm hoping that I'll have started and completed the medical transcription classes by then though and can start working in that field. I plan to start classes for that after Christmas. It's something that I've been thinking about doing for a long time and I think that given our recent circumstances, there is no better time for me to do it. I'll continue to work while I'm taking the classes and then decide whether or not to work for a company or just work from home.
What happened to the comments? I know there are more than a few people who read this blog. I wanted to get an idea of who was reading it....leave me a comment......please?
