Catching Up...continued

So Thursday was also my birthday. I got lots of sweet messages from friends and appreciated them all. It was kind of a bummer though, because my birthday definitely took a backseat to Thanksgiving. My parents were so busy, they completely forgot about it, and Billy didn't go shopping until this weekend, so it was just kind of bleh! I have to say though, Billy got me the wise men for my nativity scene and I'm super excited to have them. I can't wait until I have enough birthdays for him to finish out my set. That's my yearly gift that I always get and then I usually get something else to go along with it.

In all the craziness with working on Friday and Saturday, I don't have my trees put up yet. That's on the list of things to do this week though. I should have time on Thursday to get them put up. Billy and I went to Hobby Lobby on Friday and got some decorations and then I went to Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby today to get the rest of the stuff for both trees. I can't wait to get it all put together. I have all of my garland up inside and my stockings and most of my gingerbread houses are out. I have to finish painting my hutch for my kitchen and I can put the rest of the stuff out. Hopefully I can get it all done on Thursday so that when I get back from Topeka it will all be done and I can just sit back and enjoy it.

In sitting and talking to the girls at work tonight, I think I've decided that if I do end up having to have shoulder surgery, I want to wait until May or June so that it's during the slow time at work and then I would have my whole summer to hang out and relax!!! I don't know if Dr. Parker would go for that, but it's always worth a try right???

Billy and I were talking tonight and he made a joke about our family being true Buffs b/c we are injury plagued!! :) Seems like every season we've been here, we've either lost major contributors, or they've had to play hurt all season. Billy has a follow up appt. for his back in the near future, so we'll see what Dr. Parker has to say. My suspicion is that he will refer Billy to a neurosurgeon. At which point, I am going to pull out the 'ol I'm a nurse and have a preference card so that hopefully he'll refer Billy to one of the neuros that I actually like.

Well, gotta go hang some Phenobarb...then it's home to bed!!! woo!hoo!
