This video is so cute and it's what Sydney does. Only we totally don't let her actually lick the dishes (gross). She lays her head on the edge of the dishwasher until we make her stop. I think it's nice that wants to be helpful.

So for some reason when I try to add a link, it doesn't work. Not sure why. So all I can do is copy and paste it. Awesome. Anyway, I think it's great that we live in a country where anyone can run for Prez. I think, however, that this guy is secretly paid millions by the Republicans every time they get scared they might lose the election. I had such high hopes for this year. I had elections and politics. I hate it.

Blah
I've been feeling a little blah lately. Not sure if it's the weather (I hate hate hate cold weather, especially if it's not going to snow, which is really the point of cold weather) or what. But I just can't seem to get over this hump. Whatever it may be. Plus I just made a dentist appt. after probably about 2 years, so I'm definitely looking forward to that (sarcasm, obviously). I feel like one of my wisdom teeth is coming in, and I don't plan on having them removed (ever). But I'm not a dentist, so I really have no idea what the problem is. But I do hate the dentist. Or rather I hate how the dentist makes me hate myself. For not flossing enough and not brushing my teeth twice a day for two minutes each time in circular movements and all the way in the back.
I wish my husband got sick days at his work. I think this would be a really good time for us both to take a sick day and go to Nashville to eat at Olive Garden and go to Petsmart to find Sydney a really cute dog bed. Because doing that on a Saturday just makes us feel like we've wasted our whole weekend. And missing work every once in a while is so nice. But he doesn't. And it's no fun to eat at Olive Garden by yourself. So anyway no ditching work...for now.

Ephiphany
So I think I've figured out where my headaches might be coming from. My flonase. And I would love to give up the flonase, because I really can't breathe even on it. But I haven't gotten a sinus infection in a long time. Compared to getting them once a month like I used to, it's awesome. But it's definitely not worth the headaches. I tried cutting out caffeine, processed meat, cheese, getting the same amount of sleep, I upped my preventative meds, and so on. And when I was on Flonase about 12 years ago, I took it for one week and quit because it gave me headaches (but not migraines). So I'm going off the Flonase. Luckily Nick has some Rhinocort that he never uses, so that should last until I can get in to see the allery DR (I called today and she can't get me in until March). That pisses me off, but I love my allergy doctor. Even though it's been years and years, and she still hasn't figured it out. But whatever. Also, maybe quitting the Flonase will get rid of the drainage I've had for months. Because I'm afraid I really am allergic to Sydney. And it's a hassle to have drainage and not be able to breathe and have headaches daily for 6 months. And go to different doctors and have none of them be able to help, but still have to pay for medicine even though it seems to do nothing.

Fastest Weekend Ever
I did not love this weekend. I mean, I love any weekend, but this one was busy. Friday night was mostly ok and relaxing, except for the 5 text messages from work. Someone had forgotten to ask me to do something, so at 7:00pm, he thought maybe I could do it. No. But to his credit, he did it himself. Eventually.
Nick had to work Saturday, so I had big plans of sleeping in with the dogs and reading and watching basketball. Yeah right. Sydney would not let me sleep, so I was up at 8:45. Between cleaning the house, going to Walmart and Target and the bank, seeing a moving with some friends and rearranging the bedroom for my new night stand, we went to bed at about midnight. But I finally got a night stand. I've been looking a long time. It's white, and I found some candles at Target that are blue and look really cool in our bedroom. So I was super excited. They're ocean-y, and I'm all about the ocean theme. Also, the movie I saw was Atonement. Not exactly what I was expecting. But I'm wondering if the book would be better. But then again, I really think the chick is a bad person (even if she was 13 at the time), so I'm not sure I'd want to buy her book.
Anyway, Sunday we had church, basketball game, and church. Add feeding and walking the dogs and meals in there, and that was the whole day. Nick was so tired he turned off his alarm this morning and overslept by an hour. Even the dogs didn't wake up. I hate weekends like that.

Odd Day
Finally my W2 was mailed out today, so it was available on TopNet. Thank goodness for Topnet. Every bit of information I could ever need is available on there. I love technoloy.
Some dude from Barack Obama's campaign just called me. Actually he called Christina Harmon, which pissed me off. He said I would be going to vote in March. Mistake #2. We Kentuckians actually hold our primary in May. So I said that I hadn't decided who I'd be voting for yet. To which he replied that he hoped I would remembered that they had called. Yeah I'll remember...when I vote for your opponent. But anyway, I'm sure I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss Obama. Anything has to be better than this.
Ok, now it's back to TurboTax to put in my actual W2, instead of the estimated stuff I had entered:-)

Debt Free
My student loans are paid off! We're debt free! Except for the house. I want a new car. Just kidding. How exciting. Ok, back to freaking out about never having enough money to have children. It's very exciting to look on the stupid stupid stupid Student Loan People's website and see nothing but 0's. Now if only we could pay off the mortgage early. In the year and a half we've lived there, we've mad about a $400 dent in the principal. Woohoo!
Taxes
I think I'm a weirdo for enjoying doing the taxes. I get online and do the tax estimates by October or November and then I get everything ready to go in December...and now I'm checking the mail everyday for W2's and tax statements. I'm kind of a freak. But Western is taking absolutely forever to send me my W2, so that's rude. But I don't think I'll be so excited about tax season when Nick and I have to pay in. Not at all. But yay for the tax rebates, even if we don't get them until June or July, or possibly never since the House and Senate still have to approve them. And in all reality, what will they help? We won't spend ours. And I think the people that spend them are probably the people who need to save them, so it will just add to the financial crisis. But hey, what recession? But despite my personal opinions on the matter, I would love an extra $1200.
Anyway, thankfully it is Friday. Nick has to work tomorrow, which sucks. But it does give me a chance to sleep in and catch up on some reading. The people next door to us have left their dog outside every night it's been cold. I checked on him once and his water had frozen so Nick had to pour hot water over it. When it rains he has to get up on top of his dog house because there's no cover on his pen so water covers the floor. They're horrible people but I'd feel guilty if I reported them and he got taken to the shelter. Because at least now he's alive. So I'm conflicted.

No wonder Christians get a bad name
I know Andrea already posted about these people picketing at Heath Ledger's funeral, but I went to their website:
http://www.godhatesfags.com/
It's kind of amazing that people can read the same book that I read every day, the Bible (I doubt they're actually reading the Bible, but they profess to read the Bible, and anyway, they quote certain scriptures) and believe this. Seriously, Jesus died for all of us, every single one of us, so how can he hate anyone? He came to save the sinners and the sick, and he did it because he loved them. I thought the point was that we all sin, and your sin is no better or worse than my sin, and it's not your or my place to judge. Why don't they quote that verse? The measure they use to judge others will also be used to judge them. Not like I even have room to talk, because I am absolutely terrible at judging people. But picketing someone's funeral because he was in a movie you didn't agree with? That's ridiculous. What is his daughter going to think? What if that is her first interaction with "Christians" and it turns her away from God for the rest of her life? Seriously, people just make me so mad. Really, if you don't like Heath Ledger (because I'm sure you knew him personally and all), that's great. But he had a family and friends and people he worked with and saw every day. At least think about them.

Freak Out
I am freaking out today. Nick and I had a slight argument last night (possibly stemming from my frustration with Tennessee, who is quite possibly the most inconsistent team ever!). So today I came to work on a mission to prove that I was right, blah blah blah. But now that I am sitting here looking at the numbers, I'm pretty sure we're both wrong, and we can't afford kids, a new house, a car, truck or a vacation ever again. I never imagined it took so long to build up equity in your house (apparently we need to be making an extra house payment on top of the required one each month just to keep up), plus we need to be sticking money away in savings for a down payment, plus it costs approximately $170,000 from birth to age 17 to raise a child (and a big chunk of that comes at the beginning obviously). Oh yeah, and we need to open an IRA, get Nick life insurance...and only last night we were so happy because I mailed off my last student loan payment. Seriously. I had gotten myself so excited over this trip to the Bahamas that I had planned out, because I have wanted to stay at the Atlantis ever since I saw Holiday in the Sun (don't make fun of me, it was actually Brandy's fault) with the Olsen twins (back when they had good hair). They have the Dolphin Cay where you can swim with them right in the Resort, and the aquarium, and you know, the resort is supposedly huge and a medium sized city all by itself. And I'mm all about beaches and anywhere tropical. And the things is, I'm pretty sure than I can talk Nick into if. So now I really do have to figure out the numbers and decide if we can do it. I hate money and finances and numbers.

New Website
I've started a new website. It doesn't look too great right now, and I'm still trying to figure it out (I'm not that great with that sort of thing), but hopefully I'll get some stuff added. Anyway, I added it to my list of links on the right.
It looks like my parents have their house sold, which also means the contract they have on the house on Hampton will go through. If everything works out, they will close in February. Andrea, it's only a couple houses down from where your old house was. It's been redone inside, and it's all hardwood. The kitchen is actually kind of awesome, with white cabinets and a white island in the middle. But it's a lot smaller than our old house (which is the point, after all), meaning they're going to have to get rid of some serious furniture. We have nowhere to put anything else, but I really hate turning down free furniture. Also, since they're moving to Hampton, it means Mikaela will be going to Bowling Green Junior High...yay! She'll be able to finish out this year at Briarwood, but she starts junior high next year anyway. And I'm kind of happy that she'll get to go to city schools now.

Funny Stuff
From Go Fug Yourself:
Still, at least Katie Holmes is interesting to talk about these days. In all the years I watched Dawson's Creek, I never particularly thought Joey Potter would ever make me think. She would make me enraged, irritated, annoyed, and at times murderous -- between Dawson and Pacey, or anyone and Pacey, THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS PACEY, fool -- but never thoughtful. So I'll say this for the post-Cruise Katie: She has achieved what I thought was impossible. I am actually pondering her fashion choices with more than just passing interest.
Katie Holmes, or Kate Curise, or whatever she goes by now, kind of gets on my nerves. But I have to say, I loke her hair. But she's always had good hair. And Suri is actually adorable. But her husband is just weird.
If you like:
Thin Mints -- You're a person who believes fun can be found in most every aspect of life. Whether you're working or playing, you have a youthful zest that turns an ordinary day into a party and your friends and family love for it.
Hmmm...so not me. But I love thin mints.
So anyway this blog post was officially pointless. I left Sydney out in the kitchen this morning, so we'll see what's been torn up, chewed up and peed on when I get home. She's a funny dog. If you rub her on her sides, she makes this noise that's kind of like a growl, only it's not. It doesn't hurt her b/c she whines when you hurt her (not that we abuse our dog but we do accidentally step on her sometimes and trust me, she lets you know). So I don't know if it means she likes it? I don't know, but it's funny.

Video
I made this video of our 2007, so hopefully it will work. I've never uploaded one to my blog before, so I'm not sure I did it right. We'll see.
Also, the people that sit 2 rows in front of us have THE CUTEST baby (and the most well-behaved also). I kinda want one.

I LOVE that my husband sent me this
HUGE CUSTODY BATTLE IN Frankfort Lexington, KY (AP) -
A seven-year-old Frankfort,KY boy was at the center of a Franklin County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Kentucky Wildcats, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Election
I love politics and I hate politics. Usually I end up disappointed when some idiot ends up running our country, and I feel like my vote didn't matter (again). But at least I vote, so I feel like I have a right to complain about things. For a while, I was kind undecided between Obama and Hillary. But I'm a little worried that Obama seems to be making some really big promises that I'm not sure he can keep. Sure, we'd all love to just bring all the troops home immediately, but we're in such a mess that I'm not sure it can be done so easily. Not saying it can't be done, but blindly making campaign promises to people just to get their vote has pushed me to the Hillary side. I thought it was pretty funny that Bill Clinton called it a "fairy tale." Anyway, if I start with politics, I'll go on all day. But I'm just happy that she won and that Huckabee didn't win on the Republican side. That man is a nightmare.
Ever since we went to look at Camry's last weekend, I've had trading my car on my brain. I have to stop! There is nothing wrong with my car. But I've already got the one I want picked out. It's Blue Ribbon metallic, V6, moonroof....I just can't decide if I want leather seats or not.

Dogs
I just learned that Sydney's ancestors were bred to be bird dogs and also to hunt rats, requiring higher energy levels. However, shih-tzu's were bred to be lap dogs, so they were only intended to be small and look cute. That explains so much. I'm thinking about signing them up for dog training class at Petco. I hope that being an involved and loving dog-mom will equate to being a good mother to my actual children. What if they're not as cute?
Should rename this my headache blog
I went back to the doctor yesterday. We get to try upping my Topamax again. And she told me to try Maxalt instead of the Axert. But the Axert is really the only thing that works. And if my insurance will only give me 9 of them, I don't think they'll give me more of anything else. But she did say that if this doesn't work, she might want to refer me to a neurologist. I kind of wish they had just done that to begin with. She was talking about how they can prescribe high blood pressure medicine for headaches, and my blood pressure when I got there was 110 / 68, so I don't really want to do that. But I don't want to keep going up on the Topamax. So far I haven't had too many side effects from it, but why risk it if it's not doing any good? I tried to explain to her that I had been having increased pressure in my eyes and burst blood vessels (which I read was a side effect of it, although not a common one). She tried to tell me it was just because of the headaches. I've had headaches my whole life, but I just happened to start having this problem when I started the Topamax? Right. So anyway, fortunately I have Google. But we'll see how it goes.
Everyone is gone from work today, so it should be nice and relaxing. The Lady Toppers beat MTSU last night (no idea how, obviously MTSU is having a down year) so they're first place in the conference now. We haven't beat them in 3 years I think. The guys are at South Al tomorrow, and apparently they're pretty good. Coach has been making a big deal out of it. And on the road (with us), you never know. Really anywhere with us, you never know.
Nick fixed the wireless last night. It only took him 5 hours. Seriously. The things he does to avoid quality time with his wife. But I'm sure I'll think of some way for him to make it up to me.

Back to Reality
I enjoyed my almost 2 weeks off. But now it's back to work. Christmas was great, but busy of course. Nick and I both got cash, and some smaller stuff. We also got a GPS, which was awesome and we didn't even ask for. It's a TomTom and Nick is pretty much obsessed with it. So I'm glad that he got his electronic toy and I got my money for a Coach purse in Hawaii. Nick and I didn't get each other anything this year, but we did open gifts with the dogs on Christmas Eve morning. And Nick made me a card, with pictures and everything. So I think that was better than a present anyway, because I'll keep that way longer.
Our New Year's Eve was pretty boring. We went shopping all day with his parents and then went out to eat with them. I FINALLY got my nice sheets at Kohl's. They're 600 thread count Egyptian cotton. Probably the highlight of my holiday break. Anyway, then Nick and I just hung out at home with the dogs. We managed to stay up until 12, but we missed midnight. We were talking, and I looked at the clock and it was 12:02. Oops.
Anyway, I emjoyed my time off and can't wait until Hawaii! And also to have kids, so I can retire indefinitely (probably the wrong way to look at it, but whatever).
