I hope that everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I have tickets to go see Josh Groban in concert in Philly on March 1st, 2007!!!! I'm SO stoked I can hardly contain myself!! I've been wanting to see him in person for years, and I finally have my chance!! \o/ Now, let's just hope and pray that it doesn't snow or anything else that would make them cancel or reschedule.

Back to work tomorrow. I have to finish getting the house cleaned up because of Thanksgiving. Stephen's dad came over Saturday morning to help with putting up the outside Christmas decorations I wasn't about to climb a latter and Stephen really couldn't do by himself. I wouldn't want him to. It's really a two person job. So, I just brought up the Christmas ornaments and started putting them on the tree. I have to save the rest for Stephen and I to do together. It's nice decorating the tree together with the Christmas music playing in the background.

I can't believe that Christmas is just under a month away and I haven't even started Christmas shopping ((thud))!! Thankfully I only have a few that I have to by for. So, it's not going to be that bad. It's just getting out to the store seems to be the issue right now for some strange reason. I'll be 29 this.....where does the time go???

I made German Potato Salad & Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies for our Thanksgiving Dinner. Thankfully they turned out perfect! I also found a cookie recepie book and saw a few cooking in there that I would like to start making for Christmas. I can't wait to start making them! I'm going to start getting some of the incridients when we go grocery shopping Tuesday, so I am hoping that I can get a head start on cookie making! YUMMY!! I even found a couple of good recepies on Betty Crocker's website. Thankfully I was even able to print out a couple of coupons!!!

Take care & God bless!!

Remember, Jesus loves YOU!!

Well, another week has come and gone....already! Good grief!

I got this booklet in the mail from Billy Graham called "The God of All Comfort".
In the middle of the second page was a sentence that stood out to me before I could start reading from the begining. That phrase was "From the Cross God declares, 'I love you. I know that heartaches and the sorrows and the pains that you feel'. WOW!! To know that the LORD knows exactly the pain I sometimes feel, is such a relief to know that he will stand by my side through it all! No matter I may put him through! I love waking up to that promise every morning! Don't you!

I'm looking forward to my 4 day weekend! I wasn't going to take this Friday & Monday off, because I have to do my archiving for my October closed files, but I don't have as many as I thought I would have. So, I'm taking the days off! Mind you this is already after I told my boss that I wasn't going to take the days off. Oh well, what can you do! LOL! I have to clean the house before Thanksgiving anyway, so this will give me time to do it! It's nice to know that it's not going to take as long as I thought it would to get my closed files done. I balanced the bulk bill that I was working on last week. That didn't take me long, either! That had to come first because that was due by this Thursday before I left for the day.

As Stephen and I were on our way to work this morning, we noticed that a couple of houses are already decorated for Christmas! It's like Thanksgiving doesn't even exsist anymore! Stephen came up with a new holiday......Hallogivemas! The time just flies by so fast that Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas feels like one holiday! That was a good one that he came up with. I think he came up with that a few days after Halloween on the way home from work.

Tomorrow we have to work 7:45-5:00. We are getting an hour overtime, though. One of the girls who covers the phones 4-5 is out so I have to cover her time. I'm actually not due in until 8:45, but since I don't drive I have to go in early with Stephen and he has to hang around the office until 5 when I'm due to leave for the day. It'll be nice to have that extra hour, though. I can get a lot of work done while I'm on the phones! Paying medical bills being one of them! I love having SO much to do! Makes the day go by faster and I've always been the type that has to keep busy, I can't sit still for the life of me! LOL! (I thank the 2 cups of coffe with dash of exspreso for that! LOL!)

Anyways, Josh Groban's new CD came out on the 7th and it sounds terrific!! I can't wait to get for Christmas. You can listen to it on aol.com! I'm also looking forward to when Taylor Hicks' CD comes out Dec. 5th. I'm interested in hearing what he came up with! Has anyone been keeping up with Dancing With the Stars? I LOVE Emmitt Smith! I'm glad that he and Mario are in the final 2, but I kind of have my heart set on Emmitt winning! Get out those voting fingers!!!

Well, I guess that I did enough rambling for tonight! hee hee hee!

Take care & God bless!!

Hey, bloggers! Sorry for the lack of posts lately.

The weather has been really crazy over the last few weeks. And's it's going to get even more crazy as the week goes on! It's suppose to hit the lower to mid 70s by the end of the week compared to the upper 50s for today! No wonder my allergies have been bothering me! LOL!

Work has been the same...busy. But, I like it like that. I have a lot to do before I have off the 17th & 20th & 27th. I have to pull my closed October files in preparation for archiving. And, I have a bulk bill due by the 16th. I hope to get my bulk bill done by the end of this week and then next week I can pull my October files.

Not much else has been going on. I had off Monday & Tuesday of last week. I didn't do much of anything. I hung out with my Aunt Mary on Tuesday. Stephen told me that I picked a good day to be off on Monday. The system was down for a couple of hours and 75 losses came in over the weekend. All I have to say is that people need to learn how to drive! We have to imput any losses that come in after hours the next morning when we get in and if the system is down, that can back us up a bit. Which is one of the reasons why I have to keep a day ahead of myself with my mail. You just never know what the next day is going to bring!

I was finally able to finish redecorating my poems pages! Yippee!! It took me long enough, that's for sure. Now, all I have to do is get all 363 of them uploaded. And, like I've said in previous posts, that can take a while because I am only able to upload one file at a time with Comcast.

My Cowboys are playing today! The coach FINALLY benched the quaterback (Bledsoe) last week, because he's been doing such a HORRIBLE job. All I have to say is... THANK GOD!!!!

Well, I guess I should get off of here. I have to get some pages uploaded!

Take care & God bless!!
