Billing!

Today has been billing day for Mr. BIL and I – thus no posting. However, I still have some thoughts to share.

1) Our 4.5 foot Christmas tree arrived today. It’s going immediately into the closet and will be unveiled next year. I know the kids are gonna LOVE IT.

2) Two of our DVD wallets arrived today so this weekend will be a sorting weekend as I transfer 75% of our movies into the wallets. Very excited as it will open up space AND keep the kids’ grubby hands off our DVDS (I caught CootieBoy sucking on “Office Space” the other night). Yes, I said he was sucking on it. Apparently he thinks they taste good.

3) It is raining beyond comprehension today. I went out at lunchtime and on my way back I came across a puddle so large that it basically filled the entire four-way intersection. I had to be in the far left lane in order to turn right because the water on the right side of the road was so deep (an SUV that went through had water about 3/4 up his tires when he drove through it).

4) I found out yesterday that the deed for our land that we bought in January of last year was never recorded in the county. Apparently our lawyer in the case submitted an improper deed and when notified of the error LAST FEBRUARY he simply didn’t respond at all. We have until January 15 to rectify the matter or possibly pay penalties for the delay. Needless to say I’m a bit ticked off with that particular lawyer.

5) Denis and I schedule a poker night in February. We need poker!!!

6) “The Office” rocked muchly last night. The best line of the night was when Dwight comforted a crying Pam and said, “So you’re PMSing pretty bad right now, huh?” I was so NOT expecting that punch line that I sat in shock for a split second before laughing out loud (the same silent shock that I experienced in the ‘Slapbet’ episode of “How I Met Your Mother” a couple months ago with one of Marshall’s punchlines).

7) Last night Denis and I ate dinner at 10 p.m. Chik-Fil-A. Yummy. He didn’t think I’d actually get off the couch and go get it, but I did. And it was so totally worth it.

8) We found out recently that an old church friend of mine from high school lives with her family in Matthews, NC which is only 30 minutes away from us. They are only here through July, at which point they move to Knoxville, TN. But we’re hoping to get together with them soon. I know Denis would REALLY like Greg, who has a great sense of humor, and I’d love to see Jamie, whom I haven’t seen since their wedding at least 10-12 years ago (if not longer – she was married at least a couple years before I met Denis). They have FIVE kids, which is insane.
