Weekend Recap

:: Friday, Chris worked out after work and I headed home to spend a little time with the puppers and feed them. Then I picked Chris up from the office and we went to dinner at Sharon's and had some yummy BBQ.

:: Saturday, Chris had a long run and I did some laundry and grocery shopped. I also got quite a few scrapbook pages done in my scrapbook for hire! Yay! Then that evening, we headed into town to take care of some errands. We spent a good bit of time at Hobby Lobby, then stopped at the Natural Food Store, Academy, and Market Street...once we were done with those places, we ate dinner at Casa with a gift card -- love free dinners!!

:: Sunday, Chris had a long bike ride in beautiful 70 degree weather! We are enjoying gorgeous days, but the nights are getting down into the 30s. We had 19 degrees one night this week!! I did more scrapbooking, wrapped presents, and made a potluck dessert for our Marketing lunch tomorrow. Then we met the Halfmann family for our annual Christmas Card photo shoot! More on that in a minute. Afterwards, we picked up the dogs and then headed to the townhouse to help Mimi decorate for the holidays. We had a good time getting the place all festive, and then I picked up some Wing Stop for dinner. Then we headed on home.

:: The photo shoot -- I had scoped out a nice area to take the photos this year. It is on my daily from work to home, and it's right off the highway at the entrance of a subdivision. So, we met there and proceeded about the business of getting the photos we wanted. Well, we were almost done...we were just setting up the tripod to get our annual group photo. Then we notice a woman walking our way. She was very huffy and started telling us that we were on private property, that Kim's family shouldn't have parked their cars in front of her house, that she has kids! And that she didn't want her house in our photos! Ummmmm, ok? #1, we were right off the highway, outside of the subdivision fence. It wasn't her property. #2, we never saw her kids. What did they have to do with anything? #3, ok they could have parked somewhere else...but what was it harming? #4, you couldn't even see her house in the photos we were taking. She was being incredibly ugly for what the situation actually was. So we were all a bit taken aback. Then she spun around and stormed off, and said she was going to take pictures of our license plates and call the sheriff. Good grief!! So, we all start walking back to our cars. She spun off in her car, and we all drove off. Chris and I headed home, and the Halfmann headed into Abilene. Kim later told me that the woman FOLLOWED them!!!!! All the way into Abilene, which is about 10 minutes. Wowza. Merry freaking Christmas lady!!!!!!! In all these years (about 15 or so!!) we have never had anything like this happen to us. So, that was our adventure today! Luckily, we were able to get some good pictures I think! I'll get them tomorrow from Kim and work on our Christmas card tomorrow night!

:: Crazy week ahead -- the craziest week of the year. All of the sales team will be in the office for a week long meeting. We have our Christmas party Wednesday evening. We have our company-wide meeting on Thursday. Annual reviews are due and I have to finish up my six employees. I have our Marketing gift exchange tomorrow at lunch. Chris has a work dinner tomorrow evening. Busy busy busy and a tad too stressful for my liking. But, we will get through it.

Hope you all have a great week!
