Well it's almost a new year. I have to plan a dessert for the New Years Eve Christmas Party tommorrow night...and just for my favorite sister Melinda Jane, I'm thinking maybe I'll make a chocolate layer cheesecake. I just have to get to Hy Vee to get all my supplies...but then it's dessert time. I think the next party we have should be a birthday party for my little momster Jo. What do ya'll think? I think that sounds like a great idea. And even though Shelley doesn't like being a year older...we can celebrate her birthday too! Hope your all having a happy Sunday. See you tommorrow night!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas everyone! Having a lovely day here at work...soon to be over. I hope everyone gets everything they always wanted!!!

Finally back!

After a long delay I'm finally writing again! Sorry to get so far behind (MELINDA). December has been crazy busy from the get go. I am shocked at how fast the month flew by. Melinda had her second trip to rochester, Mn to the Chrons dr. on Thursday; and will be trying some new medicine! Keep your fingers crossed! The first Sunday in Dec. was exciting for us because I got Jason out of bed early to take me to the ER. But, after an expensive trip to the Charles City ER, and a lot of pain medicine later, I found the only thing I needed was a trip to the Chiropractor.
Soon after that Jason caught the flu and spent 3 days down in bed...which in extremely unusual for him. We had a fun overnight trip to Rochester though on the 9-10th while we all took a trip to Rochester for Melinda's initial consult w/ Dr. Pardy.

Things in the insurance department at the hospital are booming as usual. I'm somewhat independant now with some occasional assistance from my good friend Christie! She answers my millions of questions each day and gives me a good ear to vent to on days when the tension is high. On a VERY positive note, Mom had an interview with the H.I.M. or Health Information Management (medical records) department on Wednesday. Everyone talk to the universe!!! Way to go momster! Cindy is a good team leader and I couldn't be happier that she got that job instead of me. She gets do deal with all the psycotic nut cases we like to call the Buisness office!

Jason and I just finished the last little bit of Christmas shopping this morning. We made a quick trip to Mason City before the snow storm hits us this evening. The forcast for Charles City area is predicting anywhere from 5-8 inches here. Too bad we dont have all the ice out of the way from the last storm. Guess we wont have to worry about a white Christmas this year!!

My neighbor lady just called from New York to ask how the weather is back here. She says she'll be thinking of us digging out while she's at Radio City Music Hall tommorrow night, watching the Rockettes. ( I'd rather be somewhere warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks to everyone who sent cards. You know I always have good intentions...they just dont always work out quite like I wish they would! But in my defense, I did think about it. Stay warm everyone, I'll try to write more regularly again, I PROMISE.
