Bold = I'm scheduled to work.
Italics = I have tickets or am planning on attending.

I will probably trade Gary Allen for Darius Rucker which works out since I need the 18th off and I had planned on going to the rodeo the night of Darius Rucker anyway.  I'm a little disappointed in the shifts I'm working but frankly I would work any night of the rodeo so I'm not unhappy, just disappointed.  Last year I had more shifts but I think we have more people on our committee this year so we each have fewer shifts.  Still, I can go any night I want so that's a bonus.  I'm ready for March.  Almost...I still need to find a new pair of boots.  :)

Happy New Year!

Well, poo. I wanted to post videos from our New Year's Eve celebration at RJ and Tiffany's. I think we had 7 couples there and almost everyone participated in Rock Band. I participated by being a groupie. No one wants to hear me sing. I recorded a brief video of the girls' performance and then another of the boys' performance. Too bad blogspot is not letting me upload the videos. You will have to use your imagination or ask me next time you see me...I have them on my new handy dandy phone. Everyone had a great time socializing, playing Rock Band, playing Apples to Apples, and socializing some more.



We slept in late on New Year's Day. I met up with Carolyn and we headed to Katy for an impromptu sushi lunch and then to our actual destination, Archiver's. It's probably a good thing Archiver's is in Katy and not any closer to Pearland. That store is awesome. I restrained myself and just bought cardstock and other items for a project I'm working on. I did buy a cute stamp set that will come in handy for next year's Christmas cards.

I have finally succumbed to the technology frenzy. Jeremy and I both got new phones. He really needed one, me not so much. But I had a large credit on my account and was able to purchase a Blackberry Curve for less than really should be allowed. Thanks Sprint. Jeremy has wanted one for a while and I was holding back...but now that we have them, I'm really liking it. It's like a mini laptop. Fair warning, I am going to cancel our land line. So if you don't have our cell numbers, speak now.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a safe New Year's Eve. Here's to all the good things to come in 2009.

Cheers!
