MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well it is unseasonably warm today. I spent a large portion of the day cooking. First I made sausage balls, then I put the ham in the roaster to slow roast, the i baked some cornbread for dressing. I visited my neighbor Sarah and helped her bake a couple of pies.

Oh! last night I made Wassail a hot cider type drink that cooks for about 4 hours.

Dinner was great ham dressing, roasted potatoes, honey carrots and deviled eggs.

Yummy!

Happy New Year!

Stupid Questions!

Why do people ask for advise or for your opinion when they really don't want it?
I mean if you want to know how i feel about something don't get mad or upset when I tell you how i feel!

My Daughter asked what i thought of her getting pregnant. So I told her, I think she needs to be married, she needs to finish school, and have a chance to have a career! I mean her father and I have not even met this man who is 15 years older than her. I think this is all brought on by the fact that his mother is dying and they are pressuring her into getting pregnant. This really does make me mad!
I mean I have not seen my daughter in a year because she is 1500 miles away from home and she is not coming home for Christmas and she is not even trying to come home after the first of the year. So i don't know what to do right now.

Preparing for Christmas

Normally I am in full swing Christmas mode by this time. However I have been informed that most of the people that I invited to Christmas dinner are not going to be attending.
So I have had to invite other people that would come to dinner since I have food here that is ready to be prepared.

I got my nails done for Christmas and Ernie were invited to a party and I think it will be a lot of fun.

I've got most of my Christmas cards done and we have the apartment decorated.
Next Wednesday is the first day for our new housekeeper to work and I still need to send her and email and tell her what i want her to do. lol

well i've got to run some errands tonight so... hast manana!

Still in the hospital....

I am feeling much better and hoping to go home this evening. The doctor said that as long as my last test comes back soon and okay I can go home. But of course the Hospitals NEVER do anything in a timely manner! At least not in our time!

In The Hospital

I've never really had to be in the hospital for too long. I certainly have never been in the hospital for my heart before.

My blood pressure got up real high and my pulse was racing and I couldn't get it to slow down so I woke Ernie up and had him bring me to St. Lukes Baptist hospital and the er doc said that I really needed to see a cardiologist and should just stay. So here I sit...I've been here for almost 24 hours and I'm going on about 1 hour of sleep in 48 hours.... so as you can imagine i'm doing fine ;)! LOL

I know i'm about sick and tired of having my fingers pricked though!

So i'm stuck here waiting to finish getting tests and the test results and then waiting for them to tell me I can go home!

blogging on through

Thanksgiving has come and gone and it was not super eventful. Ernie and I spent the day with my sister and her girlfriend Belen. The girls cooked a really good meal for us and a few of their friends. we kept our friends dog over the holiday and that thrilled Jack to no end. Now he wants to go out all the time.

Work is going well.. I've been working quite a bit but I really like my job. I love getting to help people everyday to understand how their medical insurance works.

I have been spending my nights trying to get my foot to stop hurting, i've developed arthritis and it is a real pain in the ass.

I am having trouble trying to figure out what to get Ernie for Christmas. He is not as easy to buy for as one might think. I've told him a few of the things I would like to have and I would like to get him more than one gift as in the past I've only ever been able get him one gift for christmas.

I'm going to have to get some suggestions !
