Hope everyone had a great day too!

Merry Christmas all!

I'm so anxious abot Christmas this year. I'm really excited because I think Tom got me some Twilight stuff and some Britney perfume!! Woot Woot! Anyhow Merry Christmas I Love you guys! Here's a few of my favorite Christmas songs done by the one and only Mariah Carey!!

This gets me in the mood for Christmas everytime!

Awesome Cat!

Britney has a new cd called "Circus" and it's #1!!

They all said she wouldn't come back from her downward spiral but just like Mariah she proved them all wrong and I'm proud to say that I bought her CD, the first CD I've bought since Mariah's came out! It's excellent Circus is my favorite track though by far. It fits her and her crazy life perfectly.

Mariah has a new movie called "Tennessee"

Of course it's not playing anywhere in Ohio but I found this video from the movie of her new song "Right to Dream." I absolutely love it! I cannot wait to watch it!

Teddy did so good today:)

He's been going crazy since my mother in-law moved out because she was always there to give him attention. He's been scratching at the door every morning and wanting attention at like 5am! This morning however he didn't and let us sleep. He must be getting used to it. He is a very special cat and will be with me forever I hope:) Here's a new pic of him. He loves our bed quilt! One day I was doing laundry and saw something moving under the cover. i freaked out but it was only Teddy. LOL

Thanksgiving's almost here...

Me and Tom did our Thanksgiving shopping last night and spent less than we normally do which was very exciting. We are so ready for the day off together. His mom and my dad are coming over to eat which will be nice and not too crowded. Here is the pic of Shawn in his Halloween costume and a pic of my Anniversary flowers.

Twilight Movie was amazing!!

I got me and Style tickets last Tuesday so we would be guaranteed a seat on Friday. We went to a matinee at 3:15. It was an awesome movie and was the first movie where as the credits were rolling nobody moved! We all cheered and clapped at the end too. We are so ready for the next movie New Moon. I'm now reading Twilight over again to see the differences in the two. I am already noticing a few things but nothing major. I can't wait for more Twilight stuff. Woo Hoo:)

We're probably getting a Blue Front Amazon...Exciting:)

We've been looking for a second pet (not including the fish) here lately. We met a few dogs and decided we don't have enough time for them. We looked at a few birds and found one we really like that we would only have to buy a cage and toys and food for. Her name is Kia but they suggested we rename her right away so we're going to name her Bella. She's a Blue Front Amazon. They agreed to give her to us for free as long as we agree to come visit her for a little while until she gets used to us. I think that's fair so our first meeting with her was yesterday and tomorrow is our first play date with her. This pic is not of her but of what she looks like. Looks very much like her. We'll see.

Tom's surgery and my dad's car was stolen this morning.

Need to vent so here goes. I can't believe it but after 30 years of absolutely nothing and I mean nothing going on at my dad's house he comes out this morning to go to work only to find that his car was gone. He called us to tell us but if you know my dad we thought he was pranking us. Sure enough it was stolen. He had a trunk full of tools and not to mention the car stereo and 2 library movies! Then I took Tom in for his wrist surgery. Some weird bump that the doctor advised him to get removed. They told him he had to have 2 IVs. The first one went just fine on the second stick. She moved to the left arm and stuck him a total of 6 times and kept chasing the vein and never did find it. After all of that they took him upstairs for surgery and put one in that arm anyways and didn't use it for anything! I'm not a doctor but why?! The good news is he's ok and on the mend. We're trying to find the car still and hope to catch the thief. I'm on the case.

3 Year anniversary for me and my husband:)

It's crazy that it's been 3 years since we said "I do." I love that we're still happy and we both hurry home to see each other after work. I hope we still feel that way after being married for 20 years. I really am so happy with him and now we get to enjoy each other even more because for the first time since we got married we live alone. I'm looking forward to being off of work tonight at 6 and celebrating our anniversary. Here's to 20 more fabulous years. I love you Tom.

We finished the shed and we got a new phone!!

It's the LG Rumor so for all of my friends that text like crazy text me:) If you don't have my number let me know and I'll tell you but it's not something I want to post into a blog!!LOL The shed is finished and we are so relieved. I'll post pics soon but for now here is a pic of my phone. I just found out that when walking home for his dinner break a coworker was jumped and is now in the emergency room. I was also down to go to the Teen Services meeting and it wasn't even today and is not until November 20th. In all of the caos we got a new employee. Welcome Meredith. What a weird Monday.

A Weekend I'm not really looking forward to...

but I don't feel good right now. I have this issue with my stomach lately where it's like hurting bubbly feeling that's endless. I've tried different kinds of antacids and all but no help. It feels like something is literally boiling in my stomach. I have to make an appointment to see a doctor next week because it's gotten pretty serious. Tonight me and my hubby are supposed to go to the Pumpkin Show but I'm not sure if I am going to be good company or not. Tomorrow me and Tom have to finish the shed. note:never buy a shed you have to put together. What a freakin nightmare!! Wish us luck. I guess the part I have to look forward to is sleeping in two days in a row and having 2 days off.

Free at last and it feels good but weird

I went 2 weeks ago and toured the new senior apartment complex on Central Ave called Worley Terrace. It has 3 floors and looks like a fancy hotel. I was really excited not only because it's a new thing for the Franklinton community but because I hoped Tom's mom could move in there. For those of you who don't know Tom's mom has lived with us since we've been married and has lived with Tom for about a total of 10 years. It was really starting to get to us because she was laid off from Schottenstein's and was really down and depressed all of the time. I took home the application and told her about it. She was ecstatic and couldn't wait to move in and have her own place that she could afford. Yay! A week later they called her to come in for an interview and to show proof of her income. Needless to say she has been moving in this week and slept there last night. WE're happy and so is she. I can't believe we live alone after 3 years. It's really weird though and I will miss her but she's only 4 minutes away.:)

My weekend

I took the plunge on Friday and went pro on my flickr account. It's awesome I just wish I had more friends to comment on my pics. I have been uploading pics like crazy but only erica and angela ever comment. I took my uncle my little brother Shawn and my mom to the Columbus Zoo Sunday. My uncle is almost 60 and has never been to a zoo in his life. He was so amazed at everything. We had a great time and it was perfect weather. In 2009 the polar bears arrive. Should be cool.

CML IS #1 LIBRARY IN THE COUNTRY!!

WOOT WOOT!! I'm so happy and proud to call this the place I work and hope to retire from here some day. How exciting. We Rule!! Here's the proof http://www.haplr-index.com/HAPLR100.htm.

Without power again and I was freaking out!!

At about 12:15am this morning we lost power when it was storming. Being that we were without it for more than 4 days before I was extremely worrried. How long will it take them this time?? My husband reassured me that it would only be a couple hours and we were finally able to go back to sleep. At around 3:30 or so the power was back on. Whew. What a relief. This is the second and last day of this juice detox diet for me and Tom. At least for now. It's really hard. You sip on 16 oz of juice mixed with water all day long. Nothing else but juice and water!! I really hope it works.

Back to work tomorrow so just an update on things from the past week or so

We went Sunday to spend 4 days and 3 nights in Hocking Hills. The place was amazing. Our own private fishing pond, walking trails, fire ring, hot tub and pretty much whatever else you would need. I found this place amazingly through a chime shop down there. If you are interested or want to see a pic of where we went, their website is http://scenicway.com/. The only gripe I have is the TV was like a 13 inch so watching movies was pretty much out. Guess having that 57" in our living room has really spoiled me. It was great though. Me and my husband had plenty of time to just take in each others company and enjoy each other. We went to Conkle's Hollow and Cedar Falls. No falls though. All dried up. It was still a beautiful walk just the same. We went to a wonderful home cooking diner in Laurelville. Tom caught a huge bass and a ridiculously huge catfish. All of those pics are at my myspace if you want to see. http://myspace.com/tinahayden. We played adventure golf, cooked out and relaxed wen we were tired in the hot tub. I like this whole vacation thing and we were sad to check out. I had my genetic appointment on Thursday. What it comes down to is that I have translocated chromosomes and a normal pregnancy is about 85% likely. Not horrible but why do I keep getting the other 15% of it then? We talked about it and decided we'll give it one more shot and if the same thing happens we'll know it's just not meant to be. I also got a PS2 and have had a blast so far with Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk. Huge post I know but what can I say. I'm sure I'll have more when I get back to work. I actually miss it and all of my little family there.

I got the power!!

It's awesome! Yesterday at about 5pm we were restored! When I got the news I wanted to dance or jump up and down or something. I was at work and had customers in front of me so I didn't.(and i remembered that I now have an empty fridge and freezer) It was so weird to go home and not have to light a candle or sit in the complete dark. On another note, I'm really looking forward to having a week off with my sweetheart. We leave Sunday to go to our cottage in Hocking Hills. I hope to have fun and get lots of exercise. I'm posting pics from the last time we went down there. See you guys on the flip side.:)

You never know how good you've got it until you don't have it anymore!!

WEll, I'll start by saying nothing major was damaged of ours in the wind storm hoever we've been without power for almost 48 hours. After flickering off and on for about an hour on Sunday it finally stayed out and is still out. Everything in my fridge and freezer has gone to mush or just gone.(as in to the trash can) I'm thankful that we weren't hurt but frustrated to no end that we are still without power. I mean for gods sake out neighbors across the street were restored yesterday. Whatever happened to restoring us? And to boot it all, I have an Oscar fish and an Algae eater at home with no oxygen going into their tank and I don't want them to die. Hope for the best for me, I need it trust me!!

I can not believe my 3 day weekend is over:( Thing #8

We had a good weekend and extra day off but wow that was fast. We went to the labor day festival in Canal Winchester and I got to see my big sister Carol for the first time in a very long time. She was my mentor and everything from the big brothers/big sisters program when I was younger. I took my little brother Shawn and my dad and husband went. We had a blast. Smoothie King was there and we were so happy about that. We had a smoothie for dinner. Yes, it's that good. If you haven't tried them, you have to. There's a new one opening in Hilliard and I can't wait. We went to Hoover Dam yesterday and it was a good time too. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. It was a great day for a cookout today and I didn't want the day to end. Here's wishing 3 day weekends were longer. I explored some blogs and RSS feeds although I was already a member of a lot of them and I found them all through Google's blog search.

Friday's almost over and I get a 3 day weekend:)

We here at the library keep missing 3 day weekends and having to work Saturdays on my team. I asked a coworker in advance if he would switch with me so I could have the 3 day weekend and by miracle he did.(thanks to said coworker) I'm really excited to just have 3 days off consecutively. I hope to do something fun and be relaxed and/or lazy. Is that even possible? Well, I played around some more with the warholizer and colr pickr. Tell me what you think and have a great weekend!!

Today's my dad's birthday and I work until 8

It's really not a big deal but when you work 11-8 it seems like the whole day is gone when you get home. For those of you who don't know me and my family, my dad's been single now for around 17 years so we got him a cake and my husband's cooking dinner for him. I'm just happy he made it another year. He's been sick and struggling with sarcoidosis which has caused him a lot of pain. His right eye is now completely blind. Me and my husband and our family try really hard to keep him in good spirits and out of being depresssed all of the time. We take road trips and try to have a good time and keep his mind off of everything. I really hope he's around for many many more years. Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you:)
