Loove that line from Annie (the 1981 version) - July kept saying it everytime something funny happened. So what happened here is that it's been over a month since I updated you all on the excitement that is my life. It's not because I've been busy - heavens no - it's because I'm lazy!!! Yes, all together now---"like we didn't already know that!"
So life has been entertaining. In the last month I've had Thanksgiving festivities, board meetings, committee meetings, work, monster time, reading time and very little exercise time. I got on the scale today and I'm over my limit line again - ugh! Time to quit eating cheese popcorn and/or M&Ms at the computer.
There have been some amazing sunshine days. I always say it can be 40 below as long as the sun is shining! I was going to help Tom (the Cromwell city guy) put lights on the building yesterday but he's doing them today instead. It'd have been a great day today to be outside even though it's nasty cold out there! One patient just said it's 13 degrees! Wow!
Christmas shopping is in full swing for me - I spent the day in Duluth with DeAnn on Friday. Didn't get any shopping done at ShopKo, the line was halfway around the building just for check out - amazing! We went to Office Max, Michaels, ShopKo, JCPenney, Bath & Body Works, Younkers, Target, Kohls, Gander Mountain and Olive Garden! Olive Garden was the longest line all day - only because we got there at 10.45 and they open at 11...perfect mid-day snack, soup, salad and breadsticks!
The Ladies Christmas Brunch is on Saturday - I'm all ready for it. Tom M called last night asking me how I wanted the tables set up. In true Tom M fashion he didn't understand what I meant by "I'm taking care of it all - you don't need to set up tables" and so he's setting up tables today...gotta love him, no? So tomorrow I'll be setting up tables and cleaning out the fellowship hall so the ladies can start decorating their tables on Friday. I love the start of the Christmas season - speaking of which, David and I sang "How Many Kings" for church service on Sunday - I love that song! We sounded pretty good, if I do say so myself. David played guitar and I played the piano part - it was only one handed, don't think I've been playing excessively!
Haven't had any strange patients lately - it's been a lot of people with colds and coughs. Amazing how much Bactrim can be prescribed in a day! Thrifty White needs to start paying me a salary with all the scripts I'm taking care of, copays collecting and phone calls made! ;)
I'll post some Thanksgiving pictures in just a bit - meanwhile, I've watched Beyond Borders, Kit Kittredge, Rabbit-Proof Fence and Kiss the Bride in the last couple of weeks. Even saw Madagascar II with DeAnn, Colton, Bryan, Elizabeth and JR - "I like to move it, move it" - very funny movie.
I'm reading "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" right now - for you non-Jamie & Claire people, it's by Diana Gabaldon and it's the 5th in her Outlander series. I'm reading in anticipation of next falls release of the next book!
Oh! And I've discovered the secret to Anne-sleeping Success! It's my new bedtime hygiene routine as Dr. Benzie would say...after you're in your PJs, brush your teeth & wash your hands. Then turn on your electric mattress pad so you'll have toasty toes and then put your new favorite lotion on your hands (Tea Tree Lavender Sage body butter) and head off to the Land of Nod...works for me! I highly recommend the lotion - Michelle L-F has tons at her shop!
Have a fabulous Wednesday!
