I'm disappointed that Green Bay lost last night.
I hate the cowboys. I was amazed at how well Rodgers played. Mr. hottie Farve injured his arm and was out of the game in the 2n quarter so they called in Mr. Young cutie Rodgers as quarter back.
I just wish defense could have turned it over on the cowboys a few times. :-( It was a damn good game!! Final score 34-37 cowboys. Those jerks. They'll get what is coming to them this season. blah ha ha
XOXOXO
Happy Friday Ya'll!!!!

Thankful for Life!
This is a thorny Thanksgiving. Thank God for the thorns because if all else I know without a shadow of a doubt that there is a lesson I will learn from it all.
I am thankful for all the experiences of my life. The good, the bad and the UGLY ones!!
I'm thankful first for my angel Miss Symi-D! Without her my life would be incomplete and there is no telling where I would be. She is incredible! I'm raising an incredible child who will turn grow into an incredible woman who I hope has all the qualities of the incredible women in my life! Like Mom, Mamaw J, Mamaw G, Natalie, Crystal, Brook, and Robbie.
I'm grateful for all of the great women bloggers out there!! Thank you all!

Today's Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 - Feb 18)
You may get bored with yourself these days because it can seem like everything is about work. Of course there's more going on in your life, but just keeping up with your responsibilities can take a lot out of you now. Don't try to make any big changes; for now, keeping up with your daily routine is enough.
With this in mind along with yesterday's blog, LOL
I read these things for fun. I don't usually take them to heart too much. The topic of my routine, habits, etc has been plaguing me lately. Mostly I ask myself "Is my routine healthy for me? What about Sym? Is our home routine enriching her life and teaching her?" I answer these questions as yes and no. With work, my routine is stressful but good and busy. However I do need to develop more healthy ways to handle the stress. Same with creating things to sell at this craft fair in Dec.
The home routine, it changes but we do have a pretty set routine. We go over homework, practice violin and then chill and watch tv. I'm actually thinking about getting rid of the TV in my bedroom when we move. After all I think I will do better without it. It has become my crutch. I watch TV to help me sleep. It would keep the bad thoughts of the Ex, marriage, and the self doubting thoughts from troubling my mind (scapegoat tv). Since then I've conquered these thoughts and have taken control back of my mind. The insignificant doubts and fears are fading. Yay!!! No the TV didn't do it. It has been my spirit coming back to take control again! Yay!!! Ya'll be proud, this lady is growing!
And I'm knitting an ever growing stash of washcloths for this craft fair! Next up Beanie hats!!! I plan to make quite a few this weekend and next.
I have failed to take pics though. My batteries ran out so I have to go pick up more for the digi cam!
Thank you for your comments!!!
Big Hugs ya'll!!!
XOXOXO

2 cigs and 2 cups of coffee at 5:30 AM
Yeah the title says it all! After the time change I've managed to wake up at the 4-5 am range. It seems to be the only time I have to myself lately. Thus the reason for the late Halloween blog. LOL
Before I took on the new data at work my day consisted of the following:
1. Arrive at work around 8-830 and do the following until 9-930
Check work emails
Check private email
Check all of your blogs!
Get coffee
2. 9:30 till 11
process data
work on projects
3. 11-130
check my private email again and read new blogs! LOL
post a blog
maybe take a lunch. That was only if I didn't spend too much time on the emails and blogs
4. 130-3
Do work more work if there was any
If not, I'd play around on myspace, bug co-workers or take a long smoke break
5. 3-5
Any or all of the above once again.
AFTER TAKING ON THE NEW DATA, MY DAY CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. 8-30 Arrive at work check emails for work
2. 830-9:30 Begin processing data
3. 9:30-9:45 Take smoke break and get coffee
4. 9:45-11 Process or check data
5. 11-1115 take a stroll around office due to butt falling asleep due to processing/checking data for the past hour or so
6. 11:15-12 process/check data more
7. 12-1 Sneak off to the yarn store to knit and collect myself
8. 1-230 MORE processing/checking data
9. 230-3 Do shipping for 3pm pick up if any
10. 3-5 Documentation if I am finished with the data if not, MORE checking/processing data
It NEVER ENDS!!!! Every single day I'm doing the same thing. If I stop or take a day off I'm behind and have to bust ass to get ahead again.
I'm I happy being so busy? Somewhat. I like having alot to do and it has relit the drive in me again but It is getting to the point where it is about to drive me mad! It wouldn't be so bad if I had a day where I could goof off a little or work on something besides documentation but alas, that's what PDO is for you know! It prevents burn out! I've made more friends at work which is good. Mostly because now that I'm busy I HAVE TO LEAVE MY DESK AND TALK TO REAL PEOPLE OR ELSE I GO MAD!!! LOL
That's where I've been ya'll! Sym is just as demanding as the new data also. Everyday I pick that kid up after school and she asks me "where are we going tonight?" No where! I'm tired and I want to eat dinner and go home!!!
I've been going to bed at 1030pm and she has been too. The only time I get now is early am.
But I will say, I am happier. I feel more fulfilled even though my stress level has grown a tad, I'm getting the hang of it and have been conquering the data like a pro! I'm happy that the release is almost over (ends in Jan) and I'll have the time to relax again! Yay!! right after the holidays! Lovely huh? LOL
I miss ya'll!! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long.
I have been knitting though! Yeah the Yarn store sneak offs have helped me with that! LOL pics will be available soon and I think I'm going to hit my ravelry tomorrow and do some updating!!
XOXOXO

I was tagged by Scarlett
You all are tagged who read this as it is a very, very cool, meme.
Seriously, totally fun.
***Rule (there is only one): Go to the advanced book search on Amazon, type your first name into the Title field, and post the most interesting/amusing cover that shows up.
Book Description
This inspired novella, with its outrageous cast of superficial characters, brilliantly showcases Jane Austen's comic genius. Presented here with A History of England and Catharine. As Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell divulge their innermost secrets through a series of letters, each reveals where her true priorities lie—if a bridegroom is fatally wounded the night before his wedding, the first concern must inexorably be for the luxurious food that will be laid to waste. As one plot gives way to the next, and as the heroines exchange wisdom on adultery, elopement, divorce, and remarriage, they increasingly fall prey to the merciless and lambasting sword of Jane Austen’s wit. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen is one of the world’s best-loved novelists.

Halloween! Too much fun!!!
I'm a little late throwing this together. LOL
Sym and I went trick or treating. It was an adventure let me tell ya.
First we hit a trunk or treat at a local church.
I took pics of the memorable trunks! These folks just looked too cute!!!
Then we went to trick or treat the grandmothers and friends.
We did stop by a house I've wanted to trick or treat for 6 years now!
I call them the Nightmare before Christmas house! These crafty folks MADE all of the characters from the Nightmare before Christmas from common house hold items!!! They are incredible too!! My pictures do not do them justice!!!
Here are Jennifer and Colleen!
They were just the sweetest ladies!! The whole Nightmare Before Christmas Decor was a FAMILY effort! All of them had a part of it. They told me all the detail of the decorations! Colleen's son had to sew from 1 story off the ground to create Oogidy-Boogidy! They put ALOT of hard work and detail into creating every character!!! I wish I could have gotten back there to take pictures during the day time but due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to get back there the day after Halloween. Next year ya'll! I'm there and doing a photo shoot!! LOL
Here's the pics. Just click to enlarge them.
Ya'll enjoy and I hope yall had a happy halloween!!!
PS There's more in my Flickr!
XOXOXO
Sorry I've been gone so long more later!!!
