Wowza! Its been a long time. I'm wondering if I should continue to post here haha its so infrequent!
Ok so to recap, Halloween passed us with no real event. The plan was to decorate our neighbours house and maybe give out candy but it was way too cold and there weren't many kids out. Plus, we didn't buy any candy so that didn't really work out. It was nice to have the night off from work though.
It was my birthday last week and I am happy to say it turned out to be very nice. I had a bit of a princess moment when I felt like Chris wasn't going to do anything special but then he did, he actually bought me flowers! And he came to a sushi restaurant with a friend of mine. I got some very nice presents, some hot coco, a book, some candy, some nice cards, a video game and a neat travel mug. It was nice.
Work has been up and down and it is draining the life from me. In October I had less than 190 hours, where as in November they had me working 210 hours. Now in December they are trying to cut back on overtime hours so I have 146 hours this month. I dislike the inconsistencies but I think I will enjoy all the down time this month. Granted, all the things I could do during the days that I'm off will likely be closed due to the holidays but still.
Chris has been doing pretty well with work, getting contracts set up and keeping busy. He was off for a few days around my birthday in November. It was nice having him home the first few days but that got old really fast. He doesn't like to let me sleep in! Lately hes been doing work with our neighbour which has been nice. The neighbour (Jon) has his own reno company so when Chris has down time hopefully Jon can hook him up.
The dogs are doing really well, all happy and healthy. They do have a very strong smell which is unpleasant. Even with a bath they stink. Its frustrating. Roxy is losing big clumps of hair all over the house which is making it a longer cleaning process. Paul's nails are too long and are making snags in the couch. We just got the couch like 3 months ago and it looks terrible. Oscar is being a jerk, getting growly and snippy. I think he feels overwhelmed with all the other dogs in the house. And Emma, well shes wonderful. Stinky, but very sweet.
Anyways, time to get back to the movies. Its almost bed time anyway. Enjoy my pictures!
