No More Coffee for me :(

Today turned out pretty good actually, Nancy went shopping with me up to Walmart. Yep Wally World...As much as I hate going to Walmart, I actually did pretty good. I bought grocery's gor the next 2 weeks as well as a little something for everyone for Christmas. Chloe wanted a Cinderella dress really bad and I was actually able to get her the dress, shoes, crown, and purse in a set for under 20.00 the same dress by itself was 20.00 so that was perfect, she loves to dress up in princess dresses so that was the one thing she wanted most of all. So now I am going to go down to the store and get her the movie to go with it. I got Hannah a musical toy, which is pretty cool, she loves music and dancing. Then I got them some candy for their stockings.

I got a small iced caramel coffee at the McDonalds in Walmart and it sent my blood sugar soaring fast, even plain black coffe started doing it, and I love coffee. I usually drink a large iced coffee but no more. Oh well, I should be able to have green tea and white teaso that is cool, at least I hope it will be cool. Funny how one day you are fine and the next you are a diabetic nightmare. Oh well, shit happens, so I will lose all my weight and exercise my ass off and maybe it will go away, and maybe it won't but as long as I manage it I will be fine.

The weather is finally sunny but it is in the low 50's not bad though, light jacket weather for me. I wish we would get a little snow. it is unseasonably cool this year but I love it! Up north in Flagstaff it is 30 and snowing! I love it! Arizona is pretty cool, you have desert, and forest all in one state. My son is a drives double and triple rigs in iowa and they got slammed with snow, but he's still driving.

In training class yesterday we were pretty much told our jobs should be ok. We handle inbound small business customer service calls for American Express, and allot of the people were trying to transfer over to the credit department because everyone was panicking about being laid off in February, allot of people didn't get the jobs, but i am not sweating it yet. They were already told to fire people who were in trouble etc. And when I had my little problem last month, even though it wasn't my fault they could've fired me easily, they pay me allot of money to do what I do. But the head of Human Resources looked over my records himself and he decided I was worth keeping, plus in our department we know how to handle customer service, credit, disputes and fraud so we are actually more versatile so I think we will be the very last to be let go. But I always have plan B. Deep down I don't feel like anything will happen yet.

Sparky is on the phone and he has a cold and he is coughing and sneezing all over it and it is just nasty. I have to use the phone next and I don't want to get sick so I will Lysol the shit out of it in a minute. Oh my God it is so gruesome she just hacked and coughed all over it. yeah, nice huh, you get the picture! Having a cold is one thing but spreading to everyone in the house is another, I know we are doomed to get it but I can't talk on the phone after he's hacked all over it.Ok Enough said, I am about to puke!

So on a lighter note, we will probably have our Christmas party. The only thing is we have to be careful of who we invite, Nancy has her Skin head friends and her mexican friends, shannons friends are some of nancy's older friends, and Erins friends are a different group so needless to say if you put them all together there will most likeky be fights not to mention at least 100 people. So we have to be careful or else it will end up like the war at Nancy's birthday party last year.
Nancy and her friends...

No just kidding, more like this, this is one of Nancy's party songs

Her firends are all pretty respectful though for the most part and most of them know how unpleasant things can be when I get pissed off, yep I can clear a room real quick if I need to.
Here are some pics of Christmas past

Gotta go meet Shannon at the store,
Hugs,
