Happy (belated) Anniversary To Me!

I am having a decent day today. The calls are pretty slow. I went to my anniversary luncheon- it was 10 years on July 12, but I was out on disability for carpel tunnel so I just got around to having it today- at Pappasito's Mexican restaurant. I invited Shannon, JoBeth, Chris, Don, Shae, Shenika (the one who's little boy has a party next weekend), Alisha and my manager, Stan came along. I ate the fish (talapia) taco with a beef enchilada and beans and rice. It was yummy but the best part was the extra 1.5 hrs off the phone!
JoBeth had the nicest surprise for me today. There was a card attached that said on the front, "you worked your butt off and somebody noticed!" I can't remember the inside right now. But I shared the award that came in the mail with her and she was so impressed that hubby thought of me and my sacrifices that she decided to acknowledge me too. Well, she knows of my love for fairies. So she got me a 2010 calendar with different artists' fairy drawings for each month. They are truly beautiful. JoBeth is an awesome friend. She wants me to go to the Union Christmas Party with her on 12-19-09 if I can get a sitter. That's the same day as the FRG Christmas party. Whew! I'm gonna be wiped out! I probably won't be able to get a sitter anyway.
Mary came right before we left. The bitch is back. Oh how I hate it when she's in town. But so far she's not the heavy hitter she has been on the first day the last 2 months. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I am really considering taking the day off. I have so much to do it's not even funny.
I got a trunk in the mail today from the hubby. It's padlocked so I hope he will be sending me the key. Curiosity is killing this little kitty. I wanna' know what's inside. Night before last I browned enough chicken breasts for 2 meals so dinner was quick and easy tonight. I didn't eat much because I had such a huge lunch. Got a roast ready to go in the crock pot in the fridge. Before I go to work in the morning, just gotta' start it up...
It is so cold here right now. I hate bundling up all the kids in the mornings. Oh well. Just gotta' get through the winter. Princess woke up from a dream whining. I asked what was wrong and she just kept saying, "dada"... It was so sad. The princess is taking this deployment harder than I am.
I am disappointed. I confirmed today that I need one more science class for my associates degree. I thought I was done. Don't know how I overlooked that and frankly don't want to think about it right now. I did as requested by my husband. I sent off for a transcript evaluation for Bellevue University. $11.25 SMU charges for that! I will send off for one from my last school as well and we'll see what happens.
I didn't get to blog Monday and Tuesday. Not much happened. I got to speak to hubby very briefly on the phone both days. No Skype. :( He got his Christmas box. Yay! I have more stuff ready to go out soon. Hopefully this weekend. I got in the mail on Tuesday an award from the Committee for the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (for my state). It came with a nice certificate. Hubby nominated me for it. Wasn't that sweet? Thanks baby! It was honoring me for my sacrifices while he serves his country and for supporting him! Anytime, babe!
I bought the Harry Potter movie and Public Enemies with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale on Tuesday but haven't watched them yet. I still haven't seen Taking of Pelham 123. It is so hard to find the time to watch movies now. I can barely keep my eyes open. It's almost midnight again, so I will turn in for the evening.
I love you, hubby! I can't wait to see your face again!
