The wedded couple 
Me and my best friend Michelle (sideways)
I went to the mall today to do my xmas shopping...people were so miserable looking..I had a great time...I made all the store workers laugh...even though parkin was a biatch I stayed nice and calm...see there is such thing as a xmas miracle....lol...I think i was in a good mood cuz I bought more for myself than for everyone else..hey it's my xmas too.....I got a bunch of new clothes for work....I needed tham and I got some great deals...anyways, dad and I are going out to eat for xmas dinner...a really nice fish restaurant...mmmm...then I am gonna go celebrate with my friends afterwards....well I hope everyone had a great holiday..i know you will cuz it's all about the kids..and you people have a freakin' ton of them...lmao....my friends daughter, Faith, is 3 so Iwill get to enjoy her.....it's nice being auntie joanne...I can send 'em home at the end of the day...anyways, that's all for know...love ya
Okay, so I started my new job yesterday and so far, so good. The job is about 42 miles away so the drive is about 45min to an hour ( depending on if i feel like a speed demon or not)..usually I speed so it ain't too bad...lol...There are about 25 or so employees ( only 4 guys) and they all seem very nice...my immediate boss is really nice, I have spent the last 2 days with her doing orientation and learning about all of the rules and regulations ( I didn;t realize that medical writing was so intense)....anyways, I work directly with another writer and a head writer ( NO Katie he doesn't write on or with his head!!!) He is the senior writer ( no katie, is isn;t that old)...hee hee...the senior writer, chris, is my boss as far as content of what I write but everything else goes through my division manager , Lynn ( the nice one I mentioned above). It's kinda like a little family there. Unlike my last job, they won't steal ur food and have general condiments for all to use///at least I don't think they will steal my food....every friday is "jean day"...whoo hoo that's my favorite thing..the dress is business casual so getting clothes won't be too expensive...my first project is to write a 40 page supplement on Parkinson's Disease that will go into a journal on disease management...the supplement is based on a series of lectures that occured at a conference...I had to watch the talks today, and boy were they boring...the guy who spoke was monotone and just plain sucked...but writing will be more interesting (I HOPE!!!)...anyways, it's all good for now...I just have to get uo early (6 a.m.) --remember I don;t have kids and have been getting up whenever I want (around 10 or 11 am) for the past 7 years..so the adjusting will be a little tough..I am already going to bed at like 930 at night..that's unheard of for me...usually I don't go to bed until at least midnight and sometimes not until like 2 or 3 in the morning..I guess I won;t be doing that any time soon...
Oh yeah....giblet hanging day was great...dad made a mean prime rib and then I went to my friends house for pie...she had like 6 pies but my fav was one another girl brought...it was a pumkin pecan pie...it had a graham cracker crust, then a pumkin/cool whip mousse type filling, followed by a fat layer of cool whip, then pecans on top and it had a maple type of syrup dripping from it...I never had anything like it, but I have asked for the recipe...maybe I will post it when I get for all to enjoy...ok well, it's 8 pm..that means I have an hour or so til I go to bed...how old-ladyish....anyways, y'all bee good...xoxo
Happy Freakin' Monday!!!! YUCK!!!! I had a great day with dad yesterday...GO PATS!!! That was a great game...and I was soo happy to give it to all the dolphins fans down here....DAD and i have decided to have Thanksgiving dinner @ home..he is gonna make a prime rib roast...mmm...ok so I have a question...we have an abbreviation for Christmas (X-mas)..which makes texting and writing easier..but why don't we have one for Thanksgiving?...turkey day is still so long...any suggestions?....how about T-day....T'ing....T'anks....gonna gain a ton day???...hee hee....undo your top pants button day....wear elastic waist pants day....puke to eat more day....I am sure Katie has a few good suggestions....how about ..Eat, sleep,Eat day????...anyways, I am still trying to finish writing my thesis but i'm somewhat unmotivated today....I start the new job in a week...can;t wait to be sleep deprived...lol....oh well, i guess i gotta grow up at some point in my life....enjoy ur turkey, gonna gain weight, undo your button day.
Well, here's the latest news from MIA....I actually got the job as a medical writer/editor..I am so psyched...especially since it was the first and only job i interviewed for...sadly, after sending out about 3o resumes, I only got 1 interview..luckily, it resulted in a job..woo hoo for me...I start on Dec 1...I am trying to finish writing my masters thesis by that time...I am getting excited about the holiday season coming up..although I don't know why because they ain't like they used to be..no big family dinners..no presents....no christmas lights (at least not at my house) and my dad does minimal decorations with the piece de resistance ..a ceramic xmas tree..lol...oh well, it marks the coming of the new year and I am excited about starting on a new chapter in my life...I will have thanksgiving dinner with Dad..we will either go out for prime rib or stay home and have a boiled dinner (at my request)..i know..it isn't really thanksgivingy to eat a boiled dinner but thanksgiving is just like any other day for us...and making a big turkey dinner is kinda a lot to do for 2 people...although usually once a year we do make a turkey dinner but we only roast a turkey breast ( no not the processed turkey crap)...holidays feel like just another day probably because Dad and I have a sunday dinner together every week....we have fun cooking together and watching football, baseball, or some old movie on tv...it's fun to be able to go HOME whenever I want to...Dad and I are alot alike and we have become alot closer in the last few years ...since I have moved to Florida..t's really cold here right now (63 degrees at night)..lol..I have been sleeping with my windows open..I am so happy that I can wear a sweatshirt for a few days a year..lmao...sorry that you are probably freezing your asses off in MA and NH....one great thing about it is that no matter how cold it gets here, the sun still shines all day...no dreary, cloudy days...well, all else is well in my little world....hope all is well in yours...happy turkey day everyone...don't eat tooooo much (yeah ok, likes that even possible)....
