Laid Off... again

I show up for work and my time card is missing... two of my good friends that are in my cubicle are missing too....  "Tonya I need to speak with you"...

Well, I got word today that I am no longer needed at my part-time job.  I knew in the begining it was seasonal, however my supervisor told us they were going to keep the part time night crew and not lay off after Christmas... Well my supervisor got to keep the girl she feels sorry for and let everyone else go.  Some tears were shed because now I am completely jobless. 

I went straight to the Library and started applying for jobs.  Hopefully something turns out for me.

Happy Friday!

Restaurant Review

As part of my 101 list, I said I would try out new restaurants.  Well I was able to accomplish a new restaurant this week.  They built a new "Five Guys" close to our home and so we decided to give it a try.  We were not impressed with it at all.  We've heard people around town recommending the restaurant, however we found nothing to be recommending.  It was an average burger and fries.  The inside of the restaurant looked like the health department needed to pay it a visit.  The music was way loud, dirty tables, the floor was filthy and how is is sanitary to leave the sacks of potatoes lying in the dining area for people to touch and children to play on?  They also advertise "Best Bargain"  Im not sure about you but $18 for two drinks, two burgers and an order of fries isn't a Bargain to me.  I don't plan on going back to Five Guys.

Sick Babies

I hate having sick babies.  Jack and Fred are both sick.  This is the second time to the vet's office this week.  We received some new medicine and a shot in both dogs.  I hope it works.  The  poor little guys aren't eating, they have a croupy cough, jack is vomiting and they have runny noses.  It just breaks my heart that my babies are sick.

Oprah Magazine

New Addition!

My husband and I added a new addition to our family.  I would like everyone to meet Fred! Fred is a 8 week old Boston Terrier.  He is red and white.  He's full of life and energy!  Fred is my Christmas gift from my husband.  He's so adorable and loveable, I just cant help but squeeze him!!

"Find My Family"

Has anyone seen the new show on ABC called "Find My Family"?  I caught a sneekpeek of it last week and it almost brought me to tears.  This week was just the same.  The show is about individuals/families searching and finding their adopted or biological family.  I also think it's fantastic that the two hosts of the show were also adopted and can releate to the individuals on a personal level.

They are accepting applications so my husband and I are filling that out in hopes that they will be able to help us find his biological mother and answer some life long questions about his heritage.  Possibly be able to be a part of her life as well.  Wish us luck and keep  us in your prayers that we get selected to be one of the thousands that will apply!

Black Friday or Bust!

So I told myself that I was not going out on Black Friday. I looked online at the ads and didn't find anything I needed. 

Well that all changed today.  As I got to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving diner, she had the sale ads sprawled out across the table.  So as I stood there talking to Mom, smelling the wonderful aroma of Turkey, those sale ads kept calling out my name.  Before I knew it, I was at the dining room table browsing the ads. 

Altho I already made up my mind not to go... Black Friday is like a tradition... right?  I mean, I have to go... right?  No one really likes breaking a tradition... right?  I actually found a few things in the paper that I knew would make the perfect gift for a few family members.  So much to my husbands protest, the alarm is set for 4:15 am and our first stop is Walmart!  He went with me last year and witnessed a couple of fights breaking out in the TV section at Walmart.  I hope that doesnt happen this year!

Plan of Action:
Walmart, Old Navy, Bass Pro and Half Price Books. 

I hope everyone who ventures out tomorrow has a safe and fun Black Friday!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

I can't wait for today.  Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce! Grandpa is visiting, Annual House Lighting, and Danny and I are getting our picture taken with Santa Claus!!

Hello From the Library!

Good Afternoon!  I decided to take a trip to the library today and use a fast internet!  I have been wanting to update my blog for so long... I've forgotten what I wanted to say!

Hmm... well I will start by saying that I finally went to the eye doctor and got contacts!  They are great!  I was a big squimish when it came to putting them in and taking them out.  "Just reach in and squeeze" is what the lady said...  the thought of squeezing my eyeball sent my stomach flipping.  I have to send a huge thank you out to Wendy for teaching me her little trick on taking them out.  It's so much easier then squeezing!  My husband also has to wear glasses now.  He is grumpy because now he feels old.  Nothing about his glasses says 'old'.  They are very attractive on him.  Cute simple wire frame from Fossil. 

I also have finished 2 more books.  Both by J.D. Robb.  I can't help it, I'm addicted to that series!  I finished off Glory in Death and Immortal in Death.  Both books just kept me hanging on.   I'm not good at book reviews, I feel they give away a lot of the story.  Especially with this series, it's all about a homicide detective named Eve Dallas solving crime.  It is a romance mystery so it also mentions her husband Roarke and their relationships.  I recommend the series.. actually that's the other reason I'm at the library.  I coudln't find the next book in the series "Rapture in Death" at any of the local book stores!

No new job leads yet.  I've been slowly looking.  I still have my part time job at the toy store.  I like it.  Very easy and great co-workers.  I have to go to a baby shower tomorrow for my friend Kristin.  She is 8 months prego and due the first week of Jan.  She is going to name her little boy Parker James.  Very cute.  I've already spoiled the little guy and he isn't even here yet!  

Is everyone ready for the holidays?  It's so hard to believe Thanksgiving is less then a week away.  I'm so ready for some turkey and cranberry sauce.  Then comes the mad rush of "Black Friday".  I don't think I will venture out this year.  I am pretty much done with my christmas shopping. 

Well my time at the library is just about up, so I'll sign off.   (It's so nice to use fast internet!)
Have a safe weekend!
