so...where have i been hiding right?

i meant to post on Friday but i got so busy at work, it being the crazy busy tripping over roller coaster wheels every time you try to move so much as a half inch, buried up to my eyeballs in invoicing & new orders & purchase order revisions & parts receiving acknowledgements. not to mention my little side project of stalking employees with my camera (and now also my boss's rockin' Canon digital with the telephoto lens!! *lust & drool*) for our oh so entertaining slide show during dinner at the company Christmas party.

so anyway. yeah i was busy.

but GOOD busy. not packing busy. i'm getting to that but right now i'm in the organizing stage of what will go with me & what will be in storage till the final move to the new house.

good things since i last posted:

--went to Magic Kingdom. got there in time to ride in the coveted way up front of the Monorail with the driver. i've done it one other time but never at night before. so very cool. had what turned out to be an exceptionally good hotdog at Casey's Corner. saw Main Street all decked out for the holidays. saw the castle lit up blue with white snowflakes projected on it. so pretty & serene. had a Dole Whip. no further elaboration necessary. walked right onto Peter Pan's Flight. anyone who frequents WDW knows why *that* is a big deal. 10 minute wait for the AstroBlaster. it amazes me that so many people i know who can handle the craziest rides on Disney property, rides that would make me want to lose my lunch at best, don't do well on the AstroBlaster, yet i with the weakest stomach on the Earth? i *love* that ride. especially late at night with the whole park lit up & the chilly air on my face. grand finale of 3 times through Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin with zero wait time. almost no crowd. crisp weather. PERFECT EVENING.l

--talked to Alison for a little over an hour Thursday night. man i love that girl. =)

--stayed in Friday night & just dozed on the couch in front of the tv. needed that after the last week. trust me on this one.

--yesterday, went shopping. bunch of stuff for the new house. TWO new pairs of shoes. was worth the hour & 10 minutes i was in JCPenney & the 6 pairs of brown shoes i had to try on to find the 2nd pair. why? because i saved more on those babies than i actually spent. $58 for $140 worth of shoes. and i LOVE them. then on a whim stopped into Casual Corner to see what was left, what with them clearancing out as they prepare to go out of business. didn't expect to find much. ended up getting TWO pairs of awesome pants for $50 total. if you've ever even browsed in that store, you know that THAT was a major score.

--stopped by the new house to see the progress & holy crap! we have a HOUSE!! like with walls & a roof & a front door, framed interior, bathtubs! maybe Fortune will smile on me & this house really will be done in 10 weeks...*crosses fingers* *thinks about it* *crosses toes too for good measure*

so all in all...busy...but good. today i get my first of 2 Thanksgiving dinners...and i get to watch football.

packing begins in earnest very very soon. *sigh*
