*yawn*

I think I am averaging every ten days or so with this? Sorry about that! I have a cute post centered around Bailey that I am going to put up this weekend but for now the boring stuff.

I am SO hoping I am not jinxing myself but the roof appears to be fixed! We haven't had a big rain storm so we wont know for sure until then but for now the roof is not leaking. The sprinkler system also seems to be fixed as well. I am so hoping this is the end of it so I can stop having to deal with the stupid builders.

I have been continuing to work tons of overtime. Tomorrow will be the first paycheck with the extra money so that will be nice. I am still enjoying my job. I always leave with the sense of being productive. I love feeling productive so this is working out well for me. The March cruise budget needs a lot of help :)

I am not going to the gym as often. It does clear my head but it also helps keep me restless and less focused in the afternoon as I am raring to go and the phones/work aren't as busy. With a less clear head I am more focused and tend to get more work done as I am focused on getting out of there. By the end of the day whether I have gone to the gym at lunch or not I am just raring to get home to do it then. Plus I just don't have time if I want to get home, get dinner on the table and hang out with Brian before bed.

We have a 9 day vacation coming up in a week. We were able to get the 4 days after labor day off so that makes 9 days of not having to go into work. I have never ever been off of work or school for 9 days....school mandated summer/Xmas vacations don't count. We have some things planned but not much. Mom and Dad are going to come up for turkey (my practice run of thanksgiving as I am hosting this year), Brian and I are going to get the carpet/tile/wood professionally cleaned and spend time in Charleston with my parents while the house dries out. We also have a couple doctors appointments. I hope to get my wedding photo albums. Mom was very kind to give me two more matching albums so I am thinking that will hold the rest of the pictures or *almost* the rest. I hope to also get my Christmas gifts well under way. I am sure Brian and I will start looking at each other and saying "now what?".

I won free movie tickets at work the other day! Not sure what movie we will see but we will definitely enjoy using them. The last of Brian's student loans come due this month so we are really in crunch time. I am hoping with taxes and my bonus that I should get (based on my production level at work and if I continue the way I am I should be fine with that) and all the extra money I am giving Brian we will pay off the smaller private loan. Once we pay off that student loan life gets easier. The big student loan is 25 years so we will pay it off at the same time as the house. We will pay more but wont stress about paying it off early, there are better uses for our money :)

Well that is about all for now. Coming up Feetie pajama's post and Bailey's post :)
