As most of you know, I am a teeny tiny bit obsessed with hearts. My house is done is heart decor. Here are some pictures.

Tawni's cut


Tawni's stitches

I got a call from Tawni while I was at work tonight and she had cut her hand open in the web... the area between the thumb and the pointer finger. I was able to go home early and I took her to the hospital where she got 2 stitches. She was so scared but did AWESOME!!!

Tawni has bronchitis which is triggering her to have some asthmatic issues. :( She is on an antibiotic and a steroid. I guess her going up for adoption will be postponed until she is well again... Hehe... the only reason I typed that is she is reading this over my shoulder. HAHA ;)

Work is still great! We don't have any Christmas stuff anymore. We threw away all broken stuff and donated all the rest. I am so glad. It used to be just thrown away but being under new upper management they decided to donate. Everything went to 90% off and I got the cutest table centerpiece for $6, normally $60! I was eyeing it on Friday and was going to buy it when it was $12 but forgot and the next day I saw it was marked down to $6! I was so excited!! I will have to take a pic to post it on here. Ü

My Aunt Pat passed away yesterday after a very short battle with cancer. I only found out about it in the last week of October. So to me it was a short battle. She is being cremated and half her ashes will be spread in California where she lived for several years until her death, and half will be buried here in Salt Lake where she used to live while I was growing up, and still has a lot of family.

I remember being at her house when she made fried wontons and I remember her buying me a cool watch that you could change the bands to match your outfit.

I hadn't talked to her in a few years.

RIP Aunt Pat!

YAY!!! I get my baby niece on Friday!!!! She is going to sleepover. I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!

Maddy's blood work came back as good. :) Now it's probably a referral to an ENT next.

I hear my work is going to train me on the cash registers next week.... UGH!!!! Way sucky! I don't wanna!!!

Come to my store and see me! And buy some Christmas clearance! We have tons for 80% off EVERYTHING Christmas!! Still have so much stuff! :)

That's it for now!

Love and Hugs!!

YAY!!!!! I am so happy that we have 3 new people at work. I hope they stay because it will be a lot easier at work with more people to help out. I had to help train one of them. One of the managers was fired for attendance. It's sad, everyone liked him.

I am not sure if I wrote about Maddy but about a month and a half ago, I noticed a lump on her neck. I took her in and we decided to watch it. It didn't go away so I took her in again, and it turned out she had an ear infection, sinus infection and a throat infection and was put on antibiotics. The antibiotics worked but the lump is still there. Her pediatrician thought it was a sign of localized infection. It's still there so he did blood work and a TB test which we have to get the TB test read on Friday. The blood work is checking her WBC which includes cancer... leukemia. I am certain it is not cancer or anything bad. her doc is pretty sure too. So if all the tests come back negative, she is going to be referred to an ENT to see what they think. Next is probably biopsy. Please pray that it goes away.

Loves and hugs!

ARGH!! Stupid headache! Didn't get to go to the college today. Its a pretty bad one. Hoping now for Thursday. :(

Headaches SUCK!!! Mine is really bad tonight.

I am hopefully going to the college tomorrow to get info on going back to school. Brian is coming with me so he can ask questions. I want to go when I drop Maddy off at school so she is not running around while we are finding stuff out.

Brian and I went on a lunch date today. I had a great time with him. I wish things were back to normal with us. It felt more like normal today. Not filled with tension. It was nice. We were supposed to see a movie too but he had to go to work earlier than normal so that will be something we will do at a later time.

Becoming a nurse I think will be awesome. Heck doing anything in the medical field will be something I will love to get into. I just feel like my life would not be complete if I was not in it one way or another. Is that weird??

Nothing new to report. LOL Boring boring boring! Work is still going good. I am still enjoying it.

Tawni is going up for adoption..... she just now informed me that NEXT year, she will be 15! Why does she do that to me???? :)

Brian and I are doing better. Sometimes it seems like he is picking fights though and it makes me sad. I hope that's just my imagination.

He has a surprise for me and he won't tell me about it. He said he can't wait to see my face and the wait is killing him too. He said it is out of town and I will need to take a few days off from work but he will talk to my boss because he doesn't want me to know when it is. ARGH!!!

I pierced my upper ear again and I love it! :) haha
That is about it.

Take care... loves and hugs!!

I can't believe that it is 2010 already!! Last decade was not the best. Here is to hoping this one will be way better!!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful 2010!!

Tomorrow is my 34th birthday. Cash gifts are accepted! HAHA Just kidding! Everyone says that I look to be in my late 20's than my mid- (GASP!!!) 30's. Okay let's not dwell on that anymore.

My sister and her boyfriend are taking me out tonight to dinner at my favorite restaurant... Dee's!! MMMMMM She is so good to me, I wish I had the extra money to do something nice to totally repay her for everything that sweet girl does for me and the kidlets.

Work has definitely slowed down and it is nice. It really sucks being pulled in 5 different directions all at once. We got our seasonal truck yesterday for Valentines Day, and if you know me at all, you know I have a fondness for anything sparkly pink and in the shape of a heart, so you can imagine how excited I was when I would open up a box to stock it and see something I absolutely HAD TO HAVE!! Once, my friend Mary, who was working on the same pile of boxes I was working on, actually had to tell me to breathe when I saw the CUTEST pink sparkly heart shaped wall decoration! HAHA I am so lame!

Maddy today asked me if I had eaten her when she was a baby, because that is how she thought she got into my tummy! haha This girl is seriously a DRAMA-QUEEN!!!! Brian told her how slly she was and she went into my room BAWLING at the yop of her lungs too! The threw herself onto my bed and would not let anyone console her..... I think its time we enroll this natural born actress into classes. I mean I can't retire on my salary. haha Just kidding. All I want is a Mercedes Benz convertible. ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

***UPDATE*** My sister took me to Iggy's instead of Dee's. MMMMM! I have never been there before and I am sorry Dee's, but Iggy's is now my favorite!!
