Red Tinsel Christmas Tree

I started setting up my little Red Tinsel Christmas Tree yesterday. Zin has seen it a few times before so she didn't pay much attention to it but Bert was pretty excited about it since this is his first Christmas with me. I still haven't finished setting it up but when I do it's going to be Amy-Fabulous. I think I'm the only person on earth who likes my Red Tinsel Christmas Tree but that's ok because I don't just like it I LOVE it. I don't know what that says about my personality but who cares. I also took the tinfoil stars from work that we used as our Kiss decorations and am going to hang them as Christmas decorations. And today I am at my parents house doing laundry so before I leave I will probably take some of their extra Christmas lights. My house is going to be decked out in Amy's Ghetto Christmas Fashion. It's going to be super!

My friends Liz and Matt came over yesterday and we broke out the Dance Dance Revolution on my PS2. I got Liz totally addicted to it and so we are going to split the cost on a second dance pad so we can do battle to the death dances. I'm so excited because I love DDR but never have anyone to play it with me. Liz and I are going to become DDR masters. What a couple of dork's we are, but happy dorks.

Ok that's about it for this entry. Here's some pics

"OK, maybe I'll sniff a little"




"I just wanna get a quick taste"



"Oh man! That's gooooood Christmas Tree"

The Dog Park and 007

Bert has become a huge fan of the dog park. He makes me take him everyday after work. It is tons of fun to see him play with all of his furry friends. Yesterday we met another pug named Bowser. Bowser is half the size of Bert and they ran around together owning the park. My friend Liz is watching a couple of Beagles and she has been bringing them too. Bert has been having a blast.

Today at work we had our company meeting. We had to go to the movie theater for the meeting. We have done that before so it wasn't a big deal but this time we actually got to watch a movie! The first half hour of the meeting was business as usual but then we got to see the new James Bond movie as a thank you. I'm not sure what we were being thanked for but i'll take it. I haven't really seen the other Bond flicks so I was a little lost but it was good.

Ok, that's the most excitement I have had lately so sorry to bore you.

Here's some pics.

Sophie's homecoming

Today we gave my mom a cat for her birthday. The cat's name is Sophie and she is super sweet. We had a little pot luck lunch/dinner at my parents house to celebrate and ate a turkey cake. It was mmm, mmm, good. It was all very low key and laid back but it worked out great since we basically just threw it together with very little effort. Here are some pictures of the birthday girl and her new baby and the kids with the turkey cake.

Have a super Sunday night.

Baby it's cold outside...

Well winter has hit. Everyone seemed to be taken by surprise this year (including myself). I think because it has been so warm until recently. When the storm hit on Wednesday there were something like 40 accidents in the morning commute. Crazy!!! Anyway my little man Bert always looks sooo cold out in the yard so I made him his very own little coat. Today is the first day he is wearing it so I hope he doesn't trash it while i'm at work. We are supposed to go to the dog park this afternoon with My friend Liz and my parents dog Harley. Wish us luck!

Here are some pictures of Bert in his little coat.

Happy Election Day!!!!!

Today is the day boys and girls. History in the making! So far Obama is in the lead but I am keeping my calm until all the votes are counted. Woo Hoo! ok maybe just a litte excitment.

Just paid all my bills, it sucks to be poor. I'm still waiting for the lottery to come through for me. No frills for me anymore. I have to come to my parents house to use their internet or stay after work. Maybe I should get a second Job. Nah! Anyway this entry is just so I put can pictures of Zin for Marianne. She's up to something, i'm just not sure what.

Ok, have a great night and congratulations on your new president.

Back to the grind

Hi all,

Back to work today. I have lots of pictures from the Halloween party on Saturday but we were busy at work today so I ran out of time. I will add them tomorrow. Sorry

Happy Halloween!!!!

Boo! Happy Halloween everyone. I am sneaking a few minutes to update my sad, sad blog.

Yesterday we celebrated Halloween here at AMD and my team won the costume contest and the decorating contest. We dressed as KISS and we rocked the house! I make an ugly rock star though. It was a lot of fun but I could not wait to get my make-up off and wash the black out of my hair. Tomorrow I am going to a Halloween party with a friend and the theme is Carnival Sideshow. I am going as a (bad) knife thrower and my friend is going as the volunteer target. I have no idea what i'm going to wear yet. I usually have my Halloween costume ready to go but this year have been busy with my house.

The rest of my life is pretty much the same working, paying bills, sleeping, playing with Bert. That's about as exciting as my days get. I've been watching a lot of Animal Planet lately and now I think I need to be an animal cop. The hours probably suck though. Oh well.

Let's see what else.....

Oh I entered the 30 day novel writing thingy on the internet. This website Josh told me about does a write-a-thon thing every year and you can sign up and write a novel about anything in 30 days. I guess I should say you can try to write a novel. I don't even know what i'm going to write about and it starts tomorrow. I'm sure I will fail but it will be fun to play around with it. The website is nanowrimo.org and as the month goes on you can upload what you've written and it will count the words for you. The goal is 50,000 words in one month. That's about 1667 words a day, yikes! Maybe i'll just start writing down every word I hear throughout the day. Oh well, wish me luck.

The worst week.

Hello Again!

I closed on my condo on Wednesday and my life went downhill from there. It's gotten better this weekend but it was pure hell for a little while. After I closed on my condo I found that I had locked my keys in the car. Then when I got home the dogs had devestated the pond and I got to go swimming in the freezing stinky pond water to try and fix it up. Then on thursday work was hell and when I came home I found Harley had a giant hole in her shoulder. I sent her to the vet on Friday who said she had been wounded for at least three days and charged me an arm and a leg to stitch her back together. Poor Harley looks like Frankenpup now. Friday after work my life started to get better. Harley seemed to be feeling better and I got to move some of my things into the condo. I moved some more yesterday and have made a small dent in moving all my junk. Then today I started painting the Condo which made me feel alot more comfortable there, it's starting to feel like its mine. I also took my first shower in my new place and man was it a good shower! I can't wait for the next one. I'm not officially moving until next weekend because my parents are in Ireland until Wednesday so I am dog sitting. With all the dog B.S. i've put up with this week I have never been so ready for my parents to come back. OK, time for bed. It's back to the grind tomorrow. Here's some pics.

Bert!

Hi! Sorry, lots of stuff happening right now. I don't have time to write very much right now I will write a real message on Friday. Here's the summary for now. Went to California a couple of weeks ago, buying a condo and have a new baby named Bert.

Here's some pictures of Bert. He's part of the reason I haven't been blogging, he keeps me very busy.

OK check back Saturday.

Bye,

Amy
