Holiday Parties

I had multiple parties to attend this year. And I made yummy and festive pretzel treats!

Board Meeting

I have participated in my very first board meeting. It was very exciting and overwhelming at the same time! I have also volunteered to be on a planning committee for their 25th anniversary event. Looking forward to helping accomplish their goals.

Holiday Activities

Between the issue of fraudulent activity of $300 with my debit card in November, my costly eye problem in December and being worn out from work with me taking on new responsibilities we have been very behind in all our Christmas activities this year.

And even my blogging has been impacted!

Eye Problem: Pt 1

The middle of November I noticed my eye was a little red. I had some left over drops from the spring when I had an irritation with my eye. The drops helped for a while and then the redness would come back. One December morning I woke up with pain in my eye (it hurt to move my eyeball) and decided I needed to go see the doctor. Turns out the redness was not the same issue I had in the spring, this was a case of iritis. This lead to me getting a strong dilation drop that lasted for 24hrs on multiple days, plus a steroid drop that started out with an hourly usage and by the end of my treatment four times a day. Also resulted in my husband driving me everywhere because I could not wear my contacts and my eyeglasses were no longer strong enough for me do any driving. I now have a new pair of glasses!

Living it up . . .

The Monday after Thanksgiving my husband noticed several hundred dollars pending to come out my account. Sadly, it wasn't because I had been out shopping! By the time I got to work the Fraud Dept was calling me to notify me of suspicious activity. Turns out that someone had made a copy of the debit card, got my PIN and was withdrawing cash from an ATM in a grocery store in Las Vegas!

Christmas Tree

We got our tree put up this weekend. Since being in our house I have been wanting to change the look of our tree. This year I finally did it. Instead of an assortment of color on the tree, I wanted to do a color that would match the room we use. Cream & gold color ornament balls are now on the tree. I picked some of our unique ornaments that match to add to the tree. Picture to come soon.

Next Level

I'm taking my volunteering to the next level. I have been voted in to be a part of the Board of a non-profit organization!
