Happy New Years Eve! Welcome 2009!!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year's Eve! We are going over to Megan and Ken's for a few hours. We will probably be home by 9:30. John and I will probably start watching a movie until the Ball drops in Time Square and the bedtime for us!! No champagne or wine this year for me because I'm still on meds so I'll be the designated driver coming home from Megan's. Not that John drinks alot but we heard there will be roadblocks up all over Charlotte tonight and even 1 beer will be considered over the limit.

So everyone be safe, happy and healthy!! Welcome 2009!!

Feeling much better today!

I didn't go into work again today because I still had a fever this morning but it broke around 1:00. The Realtor Showing Desk called and asked if the house could be shown between 11-1 and then just when I was in the middle of making a pan of ziti for tomorrow night they called and they wanted to show it between 3-5 to the same person. I never say no, so I hurriedly made the rest of the ziti lit a spice candle, packed Teddy and my book up and took off for 2 hours. John has his office in the house so he had to leave too. If he's in the middle of a phone call or something important he stays but this time he wasn't. Teddy and I in my car and John in his car drove over to a group of stores called The Fountains. They always have plenty of parking away from the stores so we camped there for a bit. John had to leave at 4:15 for a closing so Teddy and I continued camping out by ourselves. I read my book for a bit but then I guess Teddy got bored so he started taking his paw and tapping me on the back. He then jumped from the back seat to the front and continued poking his nose in my side and whacking my hand with his paw. Needless to say I stopped reading and paid attention to him! He's such a love! Haven't heard anything from our realtor as to whether they were putting in an offer, if these people are serious, if they have a house to sell, etc., etc. We'll see.

Not feeling very well

I'm not feeling well today and haven't been for the past few days. I went to the Dr. today and she told me I have a viral throat infection and a UTI. I have an antibiotic for the UTI but just rest and plenty of fluids for the throat. Actually that helps the UTI also. Everyone stay healthy!

Christmas is all gone at our house!

Another Christmas has come and gone at the McDermitt household. We had to have all the Christmas decorations and our tree down by today. We have listed our home with a new realtor and a professional photographer will be coming to take new photos. We didn't want our pictures "dated" by having the Christmas decorations and the tree in the picture so we needed to put everything away. I love the tree and the decorations but I must admit I am glad to have the house back to normal. The house got so dusty and needed a good vacuuming (Teddy's hair and Cash's hair was everywhere). When Cash (our Granddog) comes and plays with Teddy what a lot of hair is around here. They play really well though. John is at work now and I bet he'll be so tired when he gets home. After working around here all day and then working at Best Buy from 4 to close he'll definitely love his bed when he gets home!!

Everyone have a lovely evening! Try and relax and enjoy!

I'm at Work Today and I Wish I was Home

I'm at work today. The traffic was non-existent so I got here at 7:30. There are only 6 of us here today. Atleast the phones aren't ringing that much. So far I have only gotten 1 call. I will probably get alot of work done and hopefully the one owner that is in will let us go home early. Atleast I have the weekend to look forward to. John has to work at Best Buy today from 12-8pm. They are calling it the second "black Friday". I don't envy him!

We all had a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas Everyone! John, Megan, Ken, Jenny, Kevin and I had a wonderful Christmas. It started last night with dinner at Megan and Ken's house. Megan made a wonderful leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots, crescent rolls and an assortment of Christmas cookies for dessert. Then at 10:15 we left for the 11:00 p.m. service at Church, which was lovely. This morning Kevin and Jenny and Megan and Ken arrived around 9:00 at our house. We opened presents and ate orange danish. We had fun! We received calls from my 2 sisters and we called my Mom. She sounded sad, my one sister wasn't going over to her house until 5:00 p.m. I asked her to come down here but she chose not too. I think she wish she had! We all got so many beautiful and wonderful gifts! It was a day to remember!

Now it is time to rest. I have work tomorrow!
