We are in PA for New Years, visiting Shari...2 of her friends, Tiffany and Jenni are here also...We are having such a great time. We got here really late Friday night and on Saturday her friends arrived. We went out to eat at a great restaurant and drove around downtown Philly. We were so full, we could have exploded. We also took a trip to Dick's so I could get some new shoes and they left an ink tag on the shoes...that's the 2nd time in a month that's happened to me...I have to go back tomorrow to get it taken off.
Today we slept in, had "green drinks" that I made for breakfast and got ready to watch a day of football. Shari and I ran out to a place to get cheesesteaks for lunch..you can't come to Philly without eating a cheesesteak! We hung around all day and Shari made an awesome dinner for us.
We have laughed so hard and it's funny to think that we only met Tiffany and Jenni 36 hours ago...we have made 2 more great friends on this trip. There is so much estrogen in this house this weekend, Brad talks about taking Sammy for a walk on the golf course so he could get out of it for a while!

Dr. Oz
A couple of weeks ago Dr. Oz was in Norfolk to speak at a luncheon for a local hospital where he is a board member. He is most famous for being on Oprah and answering very honest questions about health issues.
Here's some info about him -- http://health.discovery.com/fansites/dr-oz/dr-oz.html
I didn't get tickets in time, but went to Barnes and Noble where he was having a book signing. I took off early from work, went to Nordstrom and ate a great lunch, and then went to B & N and stood in line for 2 hours and then was able to get my picture with him, too. It was well worth it..
When he came in, before he signed books, he grabbed a microphone and told everyone why he was doing the books and being on Oprah. Then he answered some questions from people in store. I was at the end of the line in the store with 2 other people (after us, they made people line up outside the store) and he came in right next to us and was talking right in front of us. His table was also right next to where we were standing...So we were near the end of the line, but had a much better view then most people in line!

The photographer across from me here took a picture that was in our local paper -- I was in the picture, but only from my nose on down :-)

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
As you probably realized by now, we did not do an end of the year letter this year. After I thought about it, this blog pretty much serves as a run down of what we have done this year. Also I love getting photocards from friends and family so I can see everyone and because I hang those pictures on the fridge and can see them all year around. So I thought I'd send one out, too.
Our Christmas Day is a little different this year, too. We traveled all over the place this year, so we are staying in Virginia this year. We have spent previous VA Christmas Days with our "VA family", but all have moved away or are out making new Christmas memories of their own. So we slept in and are having a nice relaxing day at home. A nice change of pace from the past couple of weeks of chaos. So today, Bradley's checking out his fantasy football standings (I beat him!), Sammy is laying in the sun, and I'm listening to Harry Connick's Christmas CD...very nice.
This afternoon we are going to see the movie P.S. I love you...the new Hilary Swank movie...I'm not a huge chick flick fan, but I do like her alot, so I want to see it. Then we are going to our friends Mike and Lisa's house for dinner after that. We've never spent Christmas with them, so it will be fun.
I've been thinking over the past week what things I am grateful for this season. Some are serious, some are silly, but all make my life fun or happy. In no particular order:
1. Family - Seems obvious, but I know a lot of people who dread visiting their family for the holidays. It's days like this that I do which we lived closer or that we had unlimited funds and vacation time so I could be there.
2. Friends - We have friends in Iowa that I miss, and since we moved to Virginia, we have made so many more friends. Some of them have moved away in the short time we've been here, but I am thankful there is technology that allows me to keep in touch with so many people. It's hard as the years go by to keep up, but this year I have reconnected with some people I haven't talked to year in a long time.
3. Bradley - Another one that seems obvious, but again, I know people who dread going home each day - I can't imagine being one of those people. Going home is the highlight of my day. I'm even more thankful that I get to work days again and that we get to see each other more than 2x a week. There's no one else in the world who knows me as well and loves me anyway :-)
4. Sammy - I imagine the only other thing that can provide that kind of unconditional love is a child. Each time I come home, it's like he hasn't seen me in weeks - He is so overwhelmingly excited, even if I've been gone for an hour. I think it actual pains him when I make him sit or calm down a bit before he can come over and say hi. I love it when he curls up with me when he's tired...he's so therapeutic and relaxing...most of the time.
5. Health - though some people make fun of me and my chronic ailments, they aren't anything that hinder my life too much. I may be a little high maintenance so that my eyes don't swell shut or be a little abnormal because I don't down caffeine when I'm tired so I can avoid my heart palpitating right out of my chest, but overall, they pale in comparison to some of the medical situations that some of our friends and family have been through. And Brad luckily, continues to be blessed with good health.
6. My job - Even though I have worked lots of hours and spent a year on a shift that wasn't ideal, it's a great environment where people aren't screaming at each other and I'm not being screamed at because I didn't do something exactly right. It's got good benefits, I work with people I actually enjoy being around and I could work almost anywhere in the country. It may end up taking us out of Virginia eventually, but if that happens, at least there's a chance we would end up back near family. Also, it provides us a nice life.
7. Recent motivation - I finally got sick of being tired and out of shape and having my clothes not fit. I have been to some classes at the gym and while not as many as I would like, I get to the gym at least a couple of times a week. This week, I got there 3 times and took up running on the treadmill. The last time I ran anywhere was our forced physical fitness test in PE in high school! I got bored on the cardio equipment so I thought I'd try to run and see if I could do it. In a week I went from running 4 minutes (2 minutes and then a 10 minute walking break) up to running 27 minutes in a row in my 30 minutes on the treadmill. Last night, the gym was closed so I went running in our neighborhood with Sammy which was fun. I went only 1 mile around our circle, but being that it was 40 some degrees, with my out of shape, asthmatic lungs, that was amazing...Yes, Grandma, even though I only use it 1 or 2 times a year now, I always carry my inhaler, just in case.
8. A nice house - Sure, we've got some home improvements that need to be finished, but overall it's a nice house and we've been lucky to furnish it with some nice things and be able to make some things into our own. When there's people out there with none, we are darn lucky in comparison.
9. Peace - To think that there are those in countries that spend their days trying to simply stay alive because there are bombs or gunfire going off outside their homes and workplaces every day, I stop to remember how fortunate I am to live in this country. Even though I may disagree with how things are run and some things that go on, it's a far more fortunate place to be.
10. The Cowboys - a silly one - Many funny moments and good times wouldn't be had if I couldn't banter with people about how my team is great and their team stinks.
11. Good wine and a movie - a great way to relax, refresh, and recharge....A way to escape from realty from time to time.
12. Good books - I found more time to read this year. It's something I love to do, but don't make enough time for. I will find more time this year than I did last year. I have a great stack of new books to read that I got this year.

getting ridiculous
seriously, is Christmas coming at record speed this year? I officially have 3 gifts still to buy...so much for trying to be more thoughtful this year...it has drug on forever.................I always say I'm going to start shopping in January...In 2008 it's official. I will shop throughout the year and collect gifts as I see them. Then the official season starts the day after my birthday so that the day after thanksgiving is my "wrap up" of shopping, not the day I start. Christmas will officially be dragging on into the first week of January this year!
this week is crazy with too much to do....in random order....
finish shopping (and then wait for the online gifts to get here)
wrap all of the presents under the tree (except for the 2 I have done)
think i'm done wrapping and then the online gifts get here
wrap those
figure out what in the world to get my dad for Christmas
finish stuffing the 130+ Christmas card envelopes..Brad & I make one heck of an assembly line
do the laundry
distribute my pampered chef "stuff"
try to dwindle my to do list at work
finish my scrapbook project so we can eat at the table again...at least for a week until I drag it out again.
go see A Christmas Carol with Mike
go see the holiday lights at the beach
get a massage
order extenders for the baby gate so Sammy can't get upstairs
refill my prescriptions
exercise
cuddle with Sammy
cuddle with Brad
upload my pictures with Dr. Oz
daydream about the sisters trip Tiff and Jessica and I are going to take next summer
that's alot -- and it's almost Wednesday already...whew

Happy Birthday Sammy!
I missed Hunter's birthday - seriously..I get the most terrible aunt ever award - I have some cute pics of Hunter and Ian to post, I just need to pull them out of my email.
Here is Sammy's birthday on Sunday..nerdy, I know. You're not overly surprised, are you?
He got a "chicken cake". He loves real chicken, so Brad piled it in his bowl and put a candle in it.
Us blowing out the candle
Digging into the chicken
Exploring his new toys

This is what it looks like when Hanah...
dirties her diaper while daddy holds her...Just Kidding...Ryan, Tana, and Hanah and we went to eat Hibachi last week and Ryan was messing around...I thought the caption would be funny :-)
Whose Line?
If you are familiar with the TV show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you may recognize the fellas below. Brad and I went to see Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie's show a about 2 weeks ago. Their show was completely improv, based on suggestions from the audience...just like the TV show.
During one of the sketches, Brad sent Colin out of the theatre...On his way out, he stopped at our aisle and motioned me to come with him! We went outside to the lobby and he said that I was to distract him and prove to the audience that he wasn't hearing anything Brad was telling the audience.
The game was that Colin had to confess to a crime that Brad was leading him on about. Colin had to try to guess what his crime was...It was all suggestions from the audience and ended up being something like this: He microwaved lime green jello until it exploded and blew up his father's shed in Chuckatuck while at Sally's sandcastle farmers...I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but it's close.
While in the hallway, we talked about him being from Canada, how they travel each weekend, what happens when people recognize him, what it was like when he visited Iowa, his son, what there is to do in Hampton Roads, and no, I was not smart enough to get his autograph...Hindsight....
This is the game where people have to move their body parts to get them to move.
This is the game where they tell a story and when the kids honk a horn, they have to repeat what they just said, but say it in another way.
This is Colin confessing to his "crime"
This is that the end where they walk blindfolded and try to avoid mousetraps. Colin took off his blindfold and started throwing traps at Brad.

Sunday
Ian wrote us an email message yesterday: m //..m, ];/\ij 0ccx6hcv;l,lkokp m-].,nn n v.l;.,,mk l m. o ,lk .;j...very cute!
I changed my layout colors -- I was going for a Christmas green and red and grew tired of it quickly - So we'll go with a blue & white, chilly, cold look...It is witner and all.
Today, I slept in and then Brad sent Sammy in to wake me up. Little Samage turns 1 year old today. I took him shopping with me. He loves laying in the sun and when I came out of Target, he had climbed out of his kennel and was laying in the blanket in the sun. Then we went to PetSmart and he was a little less timid about the slick floors than normal.
He's having a "chicken cake" for dinner and then gets a couple of presents. We'll be sure to take pictures.
The Cowboys WIN with 18 seconds left.
We had the windows open for a while beacuse it was 65 degrees. (73 degrees tomorrow -- then back to 60s and 50s for the rest of the week)
Trying to catch up on bills, Christmas shopping, house cleaning, organizing, a work presentation, and laundry today
A semi-busy day...but pretty relaxing.

More randomness
I changed my layout to look more Christmas-ish...There aren't any good green and red ones - after an hour of messing with fonts and colors - this is the best I could come up with.
I love hockey, but not the Stanley Cup.
I'd rather laugh with friends while drinking adult beverages in my living room than oogle the Stanley Cup.
My goodness I'm busy at work this week.
Thanks for shopping at Target and making this a successful time of the year for us and for contributing to my 401(k).
My new job is challenging...in a good way..but boy is it challenging.
I can't seem to call Hunter when he's awake to wish him happy birthday 3 days late and counting.
Melissa's post made me nostaglic for home and the holidays.
Yet another reason to be thankful for friends and family - my boss's dad grew very ill this week and she was going to leave tomorrow to see him....But he died today before she could get there...and he lives in Australia. I can't imagine...
The snow in Minnesota makes me wonder why I want to move there. (It's 40 degrees here-the warm kind of 40, not the "oh, it's going to get below 20 tonight" kind of 40)
I think eventually we'll end up in Minneapolis so I can work at the mecca of my mecca. Then I can use my vacation to visit all of our friends and family all over the place.
Even though this week is a little stressful and a lot of hours, it's NOTHING like the hell I have endured at previous jobs.
Even though this week is crazy, I have eaten well. I haven't made it to the gym, but there should be NO weight gain this week.
On Friday night I'm going to Yoga--it will be a nice, relaxing end to a long week...Is it REALLY only Tuesday?
On Saturday morning I'm going to abs and pilates.
I have done no more Christmas shopping than I did yesterday.
Sorry Grandpa, but the Cowboys are better than the Packers..Remember, 2nd place is the 1st Loser!
Dr. Oz is coming to Norfolk next Friday -- I think I'm going to go.
I need to dig out my Christmas music.
The tree is still not all of the way decorated.
I REALLY want a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks right now.
I love pumpkin.
From Christmas 2005 to 2006, I went all year without paying for a drink at Starbucks...Gift cards I had gotten for my birthday Christmas treated me for an entire year!
This feels good to get out -- I feel like I can go to sleep....I love therapy you don't have to pay for :-)
If this is all it takes to decompress at the end of the day..I will do it more often.
I will catch up on posting pictures in the next couple of days.
The latte that Aunt Kathy sent is SOOO yummy...I already tracked it down and bought it in liquid and powder form (decaf of course)
I love that Brad is so tolerant of my career. I think I'll take him out one of these nights.
I want to see A Christmas Carol at the theatre this year..I miss going with Tiff.
THE END- happy tuesday!

Random Thoughts
As you probably know...it's the busiest time of the year at Target...It's my job to make sure cartons get out the door so that the guest can buy them...No pressure! It appears that this may be the busiest week our building has all year...It may take up a lot of my time, but most of you know, I thrive in chaos...we'll see if it continues
As the holidays approach I am more thankful than ever for the family and friends that I have. I am spread far apart from most of them, but it's the time I am thankful that I stay in touch with so many people.
I am thankful for our health...After a year that includes the death of a friend from cancer, a friend/co-worker who is battling cancer and a friend suffering from a near fatal blodclot, I remember that allergies and asthma aren't so bad...Sure I need to be careful, but I can easily control my exposure and environment and handle these issues
It's been a miserable body image/exercise week - I don't know how, but I seem to have gained 5 pounds since my re-engagement with the gym. I did 40 minutes of cardio yesterday and ate healthy today -- a kashi pizza for dinner...Oh, and a margarita...ok, so 2 margaritas...but they were "healthy" ones made out of natural juices and not loads of sugar. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
The people at Macy's are stupid. I bought a bra last weekend in GA and when I got it home and it still had an ink tag on it...I went to a checkout to get it removed and they sent me to lingerie...there was noone there...so I went to children's...she sent me to dresses...she sent me to customer service...they have the right remover, but "it walked off" and she just looked at me like 'what do you want me to do about it'....She told me I could exchange it or go to another store...ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Drive to another store because someone at your store is an idiot and didn't do their job? I am understanding that everyone makes mistakes, but what about some accountability here? Anyone? Anyone? So I told her I wanted to exchange it or return it so they were forced to deal with it and she sent me back to lingerie....I couldn't find the same color so I got another...I think the lady in children's gave it to me for free -- she was as annoyed as I was with customer service...By the way, I didn't have anything else to do with an hour on my Sunday...I love standing in line for 10 minutes only to be told..I can't help you, go see someone else...Oh and then there's the lady who practically tackled me at the children's counter so she could shove some underwear behind the counter so her son didn't see her buying his Christmas present...seriously, people....
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, HUNTER! I will post some pictures later this week. I missed calling Hunter Sunday and Monday -- I might be the worstest aunt ever this week.
I had an interesting interaction this weekend with Colin Mochrie from Whose Line Is It Anyway...more to come on that one.
Christmas gift shopping is harder this year than usual.
I have started WAY too late on my shopping
Our tree is up, but has no lights and only two ornaments.
Sammy can't seem to figure out that the lawn is his only potty...the upstairs carpet does not double as the outdoors.
I'm glad to have a friend who works in landscaping...I'll take a picture of his refresh of the lawn...it's freshly mowed and looks so refreshing...you wouldn't know it's winter in our lawn :-)
Dallas could go to the superbowl.
I have been a terrible Lakers fan this year...They shouldn't allow me to have the email address I do.
Monday Night Football is on WAY too late in Virignia.
Sammy loves the cow that Uncle Jarrod gifted him.
I love uploading to snapfish.
Tana inspires me as a mommy...I hope to be 1/2 as good someday.
Are we ever going to get around to that parenting thing?
Laundry should wash itself.
Kurt Warner can still win a game.
I am looking forward to my Pampered Chef party on Saturday.
I am VERY thankful it is not as icy here as in the midwest.
I complain too much.
I just want to note for the record that the Monday Night Football team said that the Ravens are the most disappointing team in the NFL this year -- sorry Ryan, your team stinks.
I am really much happier than my random thoughts appear today :-)
That might the end of most things I thought about today.
