The weekend is here

Whew! We had a very busy week this week. I have been slacking on the blog...oops! We're happy that the weekend has arrived. MacKenzie goes to the vet tomorrow for her 2 year shots. Wish her luck!

It was a glorious week weather wise in Denver. I really enjoyed being outside and looking at the snow-covered mountains. God's creation is magnificent.

Work was insanely busy for both of this week. Jackson had an awesome week in sales and I'm very proud of him. I feel like I am really getting the hang of my new job and contributing to the team. That always feels good.

Physical therapy nearly killed me again today. I love Pilates, but right now it is pretty painful. I really miss taking MacKenzie for walks so I may sneak one in tomorrow and see how it goes. My scars are healing up really nicely and I am super pleased with that. I went to the dentist today and had not one single issue. Thank you. I was amped. Ever since my 18th birthday I have felt like my teeth were falling out. (I have issues with aging.) The dentist did assure me, though, that all of orthodontic work growing up would come back to haunt me in the form of arthritis of the jaw. Thanks, pal. (Side note: his last name was Jackson. That name is stalking me now! ;)) I mean Dr. Roper (R.I.P. as you were an awesome man) you could have warned Deb about this and spared me years of brace face. Arf! The dentist also told me that biting my nails was wearing on my teeth. I told him to spare me the lecture that the nail biting was not going anywhere. HA! :) I also had to repeatedly tell the hygienist not to come near me with anything cinnamon flavored. She had the shortest attention span ever. I'm not above biting a finger or two if cinnamon comes into contact with me.

Tomorrow, February 7th, is my sister's 27th birthday! AH! I cannot believe that we're getting so old. I'll be 25 this year. *tear* I hope that you have a great day, Leo. (Disclosure: I do not think that my sister reads this blog or even slightly cares about what is going on with me, but I felt compelled to wish her a happy day anyway.)

Tomorrow afternoon we intend to go see He's Just Not That Into You. I've been excited to see it as I loved the book- it is all so true. I feel lucky to have found Jackson and not have to be a part of the single world! :)

In national news, I have been watching the new stimulus bill closely this week. I completely and utterly disagree with it, but as a tax person I need to know the ins and outs. It could potentially mean a lot of money back in your pockets after you file your taxes. That's good news now. It will not be good news when our nation is bankrupt. (Take California, their government offices are now closed on Fridays and their employees' pay has been cut. They are not issuing state income tax refunds but they are issuing IOU's. The last time I checked an IOU didn't feed my family. I'm just sayin'...) Let's pray for the nation's leadership and lawmakers. I'm praying for guidance and wisdom for them (and all of us).

Have a great weekend.
