See that little ticker to the right....

Yeah the one with the New Moon countdown? Notice how it only has 4 days left...woohooo.

Went this weekend to see 2012. It was what I expected. It ran about 45 mins longer than it should have. Some scenes were a little drawn out. A few too many "close calls" but that is what you expect from this type of flick. The special effects were good. If you like this sort of movie - see it on the big screen for the effects.

Office move went well last week. Still lot of organizing to do in my new office but it will be ok.

Ready to start my Christmas shopping but I needs lists. I better get the lists soon....cause this here Cheeky doesn't do last minute shopping....oh no no. Too stressful.

So....come on.....tell Cheeky Claus what you want for Christmas....

I - wanna rock and roll all night.....

And party every day!!!!

Tomorrow night - I am heading out to the KISS concert. I am debating on whether or not I want to don the make-up. I think it would just be fun.

Other than that - no really big plans on the agenda for the weekend. Maybe clean out a closet or something like that - I know you all must be trying not to be jealous over that one.

Bon Jovi tickets are on sale too....I will be purchasing that as well. Manchild has insisted on being my date. I told him he would have to take me out to dinner first - he just laughed.

Hope ya'll have a GREAT weekend!

Once again....the manchild never ceases to amaze....

Dateline Saturday morning. Its Saturday so everyone is sleeping in but me (I can never sleep past 7) so I go downstairs to sit by the fire and read. At around ummmm 8:40ish manchild gets up, promptly comes into my bedroom and yells at Mr. Cheeky and says....."Why didn't you wake me up?!?" Manchild, clearly agitated and frustrated stomps back out to go to his room, get dressed, go downstairs, eat a poptart and then comes back up to say "OK I am going now see ya later".....wait....what?....going where?

Mr. Cheeky: Manchild, where are you going?
Manchild: School...
Mr. Cheeky: What?
Insert strange look on manchild's face?

They come downstairs to me where I am sitting by the fire reading the latest book of Sookie Stackhouse (thanks EA!) and proceed to tell me. Where I start to laugh. Really laugh. I mean a belly laugh. And then I am trying NOT to laugh cause it hurts the incision where my gallbladder was removed last week - I swear I thought I was gonna bust a stitch or two. But the look on manchild's face was priceless.

Cheeky: Manchild? Where are you going?
Manchild: School
Cheeky: Why? Its Saturday!
Manchild: Huh?
(me and Mr. Cheeky rolling at this point - dazed and confused look on manchild's face)
Mr. Cheeky: You shouldn't have told him....(laughing) you should have let him go (more laughing)


Yep, never a dull moment at Chez Cheeky......

Very Busy Day....

Today is going to be a very busy day today at work. Not only am I prepping to be out for two weeks but I am also getting things in order for the office move. The week I return to the office we will be moving to our new building.

Also, today is a "clear liquids only" kinda day in prep for surgery tomorrow. So yeah, on top of being really really busy I am gonna be really really tired and have no energy.

I spent some quality time in my crafty room yesterday cleaning things up and organizing from doing Halloween cards. I hope that while I am out of work I can come up with my Christmas design and get a jump on my Christmas cards.

OK so I better get to work.......

I love people that can laugh

I had my pre-op doc visit last night. What a hoot. I have found a new doc! I saw this particular doctor when I had my physical back in August. My regular doc was on maternity leave. Well I liked the new one and when I needed to schedule my pre-op I asked for him. I don't think I have ever laughed so much at a doctor's visit. FUNNY! He is also a lover of books and we started talking about that and he made a few suggestions for me. I told him "ok, I'm gonna go get these books and if I read them and don't like them I am gonna call you and fuss and tell you I want X days out of my life back!" He thought that was funny. The topic moved to celebrities and we both have an appreciation for those that can laugh at themselves. Case in point - William Shatner. What a hoot! So of course the doc tells me about a CD that William put out where he is singing in the voice of Capt Kirk and then the doc proceeded to show me what he was talking about by imatating it. Hilarious! I am sure the nurses wondered what was going on....but then again they work with him so I am sure they are used to it.

So, yeah, I am changing primary docs. Why couldn't I have found this guy when I first moved?

Back to work

The retreat for work was pretty fun. I laughed a lot and now I have a few "inside" jokes. I learned to play cribbage. I have never played and each year there is a "tournament" and apparently its hard core. So I thought I would give it a shot. They said the tournament usually lasts until about midnight. I thought to myself "pffft I will be out by the first game so no worries". Yeah, right. I made it to the semifinals and came in 3rd for the entire tournament so of course I had to stay for the final round. I have now been designated as "the one to watch" for future tournaments.

So lets get caught up...shall we?

Last week was one big blur. I have been so busy I turned around and the week was gone! Work is busy busy. Home is busy busy - ok busy goofing off but that totally counts. So here are a few random things to get us back on track.


I will be having surgery on the 27th and will be out of work two weeks so I have been busy trying get things ready for that. Try to get things prepped and ready for someone to step in and keep things running. I will be in the hospital two days and actually be out of the office two weeks but its my plan to do some work from home the second week. I said that was my plan....doesn't mean that it will happen. It will depend.

Flowers, gifts, and flamingos of all shapes and sizes will be appreciated during my time of recovery and just may speed along the process (hint hint HA!).

Halloween cards are made, addressed, and ready to be mailed! I plan on sending them toward the end of this week. I have a few extra so if you want one just email me with your addy and its yours! Now its time to start coming up with my Christmas card ideas. I am thinking simple might be the way to go this year. Not sure yet.

Fall has returned (instead of winter) and the weekend was very nice. Sunny with a little nip in the air. Just the way fall should be. So we got somethings taken care of outside in prep for winter. Got the flower bed tilled under, the boat winterized and put in storage, sprinkler system blown out, hoses drained and put away.

So that is it....not exciting but hey....I am ok with that!
