Hoping for a snow day

Not so sure we'll get one, but even a delay would be nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
So today I got my audio pier delivered and the color is perfect. I am so happy. I also got the e mail that the tv stand was in, so we'll pick that up this weekend. Now if I can just get Daryl to put them together, hopefully he will get some time to do it so we can finally go get the TV. We won't be watching the super bowl on it, I'm pretty sure of that.
Dill Pickle will be here tomorrow, I can't wait! I am really happy they are moving back to Ohio, I can't wait to see him on a regular basis, I've really missed that.
Dad is having surgery on his hernia Wednesday, therefore, I will be taking the day off. I wouldn't be so worried about mom if things weren't so sketchy with him, but they are. I mean you wouldn't think a hernia operation would be a big deal and normally it wouldn't be. However, my dad's heart just isn't so good these days. Mom is really worried ( as am I ) about him because he is down to 137 pounds. Now that is pretty darn skinny on a 6'2" man. And he eats. A LOT. I wish I weighed 137 pounds. There has to be a reason he is losing weight like that. I wish they could get to the bottom of things, drives me crazy. Anyway, I am going to go with mom so she can stay with him while I get the car and all that stuff, and just be moral support. Hopefully Kathy will be there too, but she has been having some health issues herself lately. I'm sure she will come reagardless of how she's feeling though. So hopefully all will go ok and he will actually get to come home that day, you never know with him what will happen these days.
That's it for now, I love my girls but here's hoping we don't see each other tomorrow!

pictures from the wedding and other stuff

I think we should all understand why I don't like having my picture taken. I clearly have 2 chins and Daryl clearly does not. He does have a bit of gray in his goatee, wait, I like that. Never mind No fair.

Brandon and Whit at the reception

The bride and groom. Mrs. Hanke, you might recognize the bride, she works at DSW on Fields Ertel!

The Dylan tattoo!

Mama snuck in today and was really happy to see her best friend

Sorry Green Bay

I sure didn't expect them to lose tonight. All I've got to say is, I still love you Brett. And Eli, it's up to you to take down Tom Brady like your brother did last year! Good Luck!

Stupid Patriots

Need I say more??

Brrr

Wow, it sure is cold outside. I sure wish I didn't have to let Pierre out all the time. So far today Daryl has done it, but I know my turns are coming. On the plus side, he doesn't seem to want to spend too much time out there himself, he is getting his business done pretty quickly.
My scale said I lost 3 pounds since last week. That is encouraging, I just wish it said I lost 20. I am going to have to get some patience about this weight loss thing. I didn't get fat overnight, I guess I won't lose it overnight either. It would be nice to lose that much by spring. Hopefully I will.
So, Daryl and I want to get our 42" LCD HDTV. Well, that wouldn't be a problem, seems the problem is finding the furniture to put it on. It won't fit on the entertainment center we have now, we need a tv stand and matching audio cabinets for either side. I don't know if everyone is sold out of the stuff from Christmas or what, but we just can't find anything. I don't want to go to a furniture store and spend $1000 on it either. Target had a pretty one, but of course was out of it. Maybe they will get it in again soon. I hope so.
So, now that everything went well with my tooth, I won't be scared in the future if I have to have work done. I'm pretty sure there will have to be something done on the right in the somewhat near future. The tooth that had all the work done on it Friday is kind of hurting too. I am hoping it's just because of all the work, I have had teeth do that in the past. I am hoping that if doesn't need a root canal or something dumb like that.
So today is football day! I sure am wishing those Patriots would get theirs today, come on Chargers. And I do like the Giants, but of course I am hoping for a win for Brett. I think it would be so cool for Green Bay to win today and win the Super Bowl. Daryl thinks Brett would retire after that. Probably, he is older that most quarterbacks.
Ok, I'm off to do not much of nothing until football starts!

Brett Favre is a hottie!!

Go Green Bay!! Those young guys have got nothing on Brett! I would love to see them go to the Super Bowl, that would be awesome. Daryl said they will. He also says the Patriots are going down tomorrow, I sure hope he's right, but I don't know about that.
Dad is home from the hospital. He is pretty weak, but glad to be home. He actually came home a few days ago. He just has a crappy heart and has to take his medicine. So far, he is. I'm glad he's home.
Did anyone happen to notice that Big Brother is coming on in February??? I was watching my tape of As the World Turns yesterday and saw a promo for it. I sure was excited. This dang writer's strike just might work out for us after all. Not having to wait until July is sweet!
Got lots done today. Laundry, dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, all that good stuff. Gotta go to the grocery tomorrow and get healthy food. Should be a BLAST.
That's it for now!

Dad

I came home today to the news that my dad is in the hospital with congestive heart failure and pnemonia. Needless to say, his hernia is at the bottom of their list of concerns for him right now. They said there is no way a surgeon could put him to sleep with his heart like this. So, they are going to try to get him well. I don't know how long he'll be in there. I asked mom if she needed me tomorrow and she said she didn't. My sissy Kathy is going to be there with her and mom said he actually seems like he is feeling better. Well, duh dad, why didn't you go to the hospital before now???? Ok, I am going to try to be nice because he is sick and it doesn't matter how much I quarrel at him about that, he is not going to change and I just want him to get well. So, I will keep my cell phone handy tomorrow and check in with mom and Kathy and see how things are going. Hopefully he will get well soon. Tomorrow is mom's birthday, I really wish he would stop being in the hospital on her birthday! Silly dad.

Made it there and back

Whew, didn't know if we would there a few times, but we did. It took 45 minutes to drive to Dr. Rotella's this morning, normally a 10 minute drive. Everyone was going about 5 miles an hour and there were several cars off the side of the road, tow trucks, etc. What a mess. Luckily, the ride home only took about 15 minutes, the stuff they're putting down had started to work. I'm not sure how, it's so cold. So I'm really glad to be home where I get to stay all day, hooray for snow days. All that stressing yesterday about what to do, call off or go in late, didn't have to do either one. Back to the dentist next Tuesday to finish this crown and start another one. I'm off to the couch now

Whitney's ##***!!#* teeth

It looks like I won't be at work tomorrow. Whitney's bottom tooth fell out and it is not pretty. I am waiting for Dr. Rotella to call me back. If he can see her in the morning, I could probably come in when he is done. However, then I won't have a sub. Is it better just to call off and get a sub or just to be late? I guess I will decide when he calls me back. I really, really, really hate her fu**c**g teeth.
