Christmas Shopping

Sorry it's been so long.  It's been crazy around here for the past few weeks.

Cody is still working insane hours.  He hasn't had a day off since Thanksgiving and I know that he's exhausted.  Him and his boss got into a big fight the other day, because Cody brought up the fact that working like this wasn't what the original plan was, and if he is going to be working 100+ hour weeks, that he isn't going to continue to do so at his regular pay.  I feel so bad because I know that he's worn out from working so much, but I also know that it's not forever, hopefully next week things will start to slow down a bit for him, so he can go back to working his normal schedule. 

Work for me has been going good, just working a lot.  We got a new GM, and his has some very high standards, which is good I guess if you work in a restaurant.  We've had a lot added to our plate, so it seems I'm at work a bit longer than usual.  It's good though, it keeps me busy, especially right now when Cody is working a lot and I wouldn't get to see him, anyway. 

Because we have been working so much, we haven't even started our Christmas shopping.  I love Christmas time, and generally I love shopping but we just haven't had the time to really start this year.  Since my family is going to Florida in February, we decided to go light on Christmas shopping this year.  On Thanksgiving, we decided to draw names, and instead of buying something small for everyone, we decided to spend $100 on the persons name that we draw.  I got my mom, and Cody got my dad.  Well, the entire plan kind of backfired, because my mom decided that she can't not buy gifts for all of us, so she's going to buy something little for each of us, but spend the most money on the person she got (which is Cody).  So, now we are getting one thing for everyone too, but it will still be cheaper than a normal Christmas. 

Weight Watchers is going well.  I did really well the first week, and was down 2.6lbs!  The second week, I didn't do so great.  We had pizza one night, I wasn't counting my points like I should, and I was supposed to weigh in on Tuesday, but we got some snow the night before and the roads were bad.  So I weighed in today, expecting a gain, but I lost 1.8!  Down 4.4 total.  Not a ton, but I'm okay with it!! 

I'm hoping to do a complete makeover of my blog soon, as soon as I get the patience to do it.  So look out for that.  :)
