Wow.  I don’t know where this past week has gone!  It went by so quickly!  I looked at the calendar and also noticed how close to year end it already is and it has me a little panicked!!  I have so much to do – work-wise before year end.

We also learned in a recent meeting that things are going to change a bit in our department, so that is something else that has me a little stressed.  I’m hoping it’ll all be for the best in the end and will all work out, but of coarse, any type of change is cause for upset.  I also asked my manager if he preferred me to have my surgery in January, over December.  (really – I can’t see myself taking off work before then anyway)  SO – once I hear back from the doctor’s office I think I will ask them to schedule it in January some time.  I’m sure it’ll be here before I know it.

Tommie and I went out to dinner tonight.  We have decided from here on out, we are going to just order one meal and share it.  We went to 54th St. Bar and Grill tonight and got the steak and baked potato and told them we were just going to split it.  They were great about it!  They even split the salad that came with it!  They halved everything up and put them on separate plates.  We were both full afterwards and it was perfect.  Tommie will benefit from my surgery as well and I think he’ll be pretty supportive of it.  He already knows he’s going to have to put up with a grouch for a while too.  Ha ha.

This weekend I’m taking some family photo’s for my cousin’s wife’s family.  Should be fun! Next weekend I’ll be taking family photos for a co-worker. 🙂  Both sessions, they’ll be using some of the photos for their Christmas cards too.  It is that time of year to start thinking of photos for Christmas cards, if that is the route you go.  That is my favorite type of Christmas card to receive.  One with a photo on it! 😀  I don’t think I’m going to send Christmas cards this year, but I will for sure, next year!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and are able to spend it with loved one’s.  Remember to set aside some time to think about what it is that you are thankful for.  I’ve been trying to make my list daily.  I’m a very lucky person that I have so much to be thankful for.
