Randomness...


*This is a really cute picture of Bellies and my parents' puppies (Bree and Mollie) with my mom. They're wearing sweaters! It's cuuuuuute!

*My friends had their baby. He was 1lb 12oz, reeeeeaaallllyy tiny. He's having some trouble with his lungs and heart, so keep praying and sending those good thoughts!

* I'm having a bad day already and it's only 10:30am. Obviously, business is bad, but today is the first day I've actually gotten bogged down by it all. I had to give bad to news to some people and I've been getting phone calls and emails about it all morning. I have no boss, the next in line just had surgery, so my immediate supervisor at the moment is a VP, and she's hassling me now. Ugh. I'm listening to Christmas music and drinking a white chocolate peppermint mocha to cheer myself up.


* Ok, only a few more days of bullshit, then I get to go home for Christmas! I haven't been home in six months, I can't wait. My mom is baking cookies today and one of my brothers is already there. The BF is coming with me, but he's probably not all that excited. Driving seven hours to see people that aren't your family takes some patience.


* I learned how to scuba dive a few weeks ago so I can go in Belize. I'm going to finish my open water dives there.
*Speaking of Belize, I'm going in a week and a day! Yay! I just need to keep telling myself "I will be on a beach soon..."
*It's so snowy and windy here. The snow is up to my waist in spots. Yes, I'm short (5'4"), but that's a lot of snow!
*I'm mostly blond now. I think I want to go maybe one shade lighter and put some highlights underneath to lighten that up a bit, too. Also, the sun in Belize will probably bleach it out some.
I think that's it. Really, there hasn't been much going on. I've just been really busy at work and slacking on the posting. What have you been up to?
This post is having some issues with spacing again. Annoying.

Your friend will be in my thoughts!

You obviously need some peppermint schnapps in that mocha.

Andy said...

1lb!!! I was about like, 10. Yeah, I was HUGE.

Oh, and Belize sounds wonderful. There's a heat wave in Central America right now, so compared to Chicago/Wisconsin, this will be wonderful.

Bone said...

I sure hope your friends' baby is OK. I have a first cousin who was three months or so early. I don't know how much she weighed but she would literally fit in the palm of your hand.

There are few things cuter than dogs in sweaters. I should be listening to Christmas music right now, but instead have "The Wedding Singer" soundtrack playing. May your Christmas be merry and bright!

Mandy said...

Your friends and their baby will be in my thoughts. I am glad that you get to go home for Christmas! That is wonderful. I am so excited for your trip to Belize--it will be fantastic!! Have a spectacular time and have a very Merry Christmas Coconut!

I am sending good thoughts to your friend.

Those dogs are so freakin cute in those sweaters.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater said...

Well, you can leave all your problems behind when you go to sunny Belize, you lucky mo-fo. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to shovel my car out of the snow and head out to a couple snowy suburbs of Chicago for Christmas.

Rachel: Thank you!

Dutchess: You are so right it's not even funny.

Andy: I know, he's so small! I'm way excited about Belize. Can't wait!

Bone: Yeah, I think he's about that big.

Thomas: They're so cute I can't stand it! Merry Christmas!

Mandy: Thank you! Have a Merry Christmas, can't wait to hear about your family shenanigans.

Trixie: THAT sounds amazing.

LBluca: Thanks! I love dogs and sweaters, it's the girl in me. Can't wait to hear about your family Christmas shenanigans, as well.

Dr. Ken: I plan on it. At least I won't be digging out my car for a few weeks.
