Lots to update!

1. I broke down and bought Folgers coffee for work. Now I can throw cans of coffee at my coworkers like Carey does. I call it "Recession Coffee." My boss kind of looked at it with distaste (she's basically the other person that drinks from our pot) and said, "You really should have told me we needed coffee." She tried to be nice about it, but in her mind, she was saying, "YUCK!" At least I sprung for the darker roast. It's not bad.

2. I'm going to see Boo the last week of December. This makes me so happy! I get to meet her hubby and sweet little boy. I also hope to see her 747 that she breaks out after a few cocktails. Bonus: It will very likely be much warmer there.

3. We had to go to court yesterday for our neighbors. They are suing the original owners (John Deere house builders) re: a flooding basement (it's flooded numerous times). Original owners (well, husband is dead) are denying they knew of any water problems (wife is saying husband dealt with all that and she didn't know a thing...she's a liar) and say it's the builders fault if there are water issues (the builder should not have let them put their basement all the way in the ground...us and the other two neighbors built to deal with the high water table). It was weird. The lawyers were kind of grasping at straws. My favorite was when the defense asked Chris to tell them about the weather each year since we lived there. I wanted to say, "Consult an almanac, idiot."

4. I get to see (breifly) Nookie in two weekends. Yay! She's been on my wanna-peep-meet top five forever! Ok, I don't really have a list, but if I was asked, I bet I could come up with my top five. But don't ask, because I don't like choosing favorites. :-)

1. Note to self: Use up or toss Folgers by December 28. *grin* Actually, when I drink it at home, it's Maxwell House. At work, we have Folgers, and it's reasonably priced. But I don't love it. The classic is fine. The "special" roast does something special to my belly. It's like it's loaded with fiber or something.

2. Woo Hoo!!! I'm super excited that this fell into our laps. Hopefully we will have one of those wierd weather weeks when it really is warm - like 70s warm. I'm trying to figure out how to entertain you. I think there's a good football game on that Monday night.

3. I'm assuming your on your new neighbors' side? Is Chris back at work yet? Did this give him something to do or did it take him away from "the family"?

4. After December, you will only need a top 3. *grin* I saw Nookie in Hotlanta. I am betting you will really have warmer weather there. Please give her a big hug from me. I miss Nookie!

I actually don't mind the Folger's (or Maxwell House) so much. It's what I drank for years. Sure, it's not as yummy as other more "gourmet" brands, but it's fine.

LOL-Chris was excited to get home earlier than usual yesterday to spend some time with "the family." Yep, he's back at work. He didn't end up having surgery yet. The shoulder started to feel better so the surgeon said, "let's hold off." I was kind of iritated, as it is just prolonging things.

I've met Nookie. Please please please tell us all about the trip and please please please tell her that I (we) miss her. Can you persuade her to return to blogging?
