BBBBBBBRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
It's actually 42 degrees outside and I am happily freezing!!!!!!!
Yes....you heard me...Happily....Smile on my face and all that!
I am originally from Medina County Ohio....That's about 20 minutes south of Clevland...I moved here in 88 with my son and my Dad...I so miss the changing of the seasons....To be able to go to the beach on Christmas day is still in 2004 a odd thing to me...so when the cold comes thru I am tickled! I can bring out my sweaters and sweatshirts and I am sooo happy! Feels more like Christmas to me! It's expected to get up to the 60's but back down to the 40's...YIPEEEEEE!!!!
And yes...you all can send me snow if ya want too!!!!!!!!
It's getting so much closer to Christmas and my kids are about ready to pull thier hair out! hahahaha....Mike and I are going to finish up the Christmas Shopping tomorrow night...His sister Darlene is coming over to sit with the kids...And we actually have an extra one for a week! (Found him on sale we did....hahahaha just kidding) Mike's other Sister Kathy is moving up to Virginia in January with her Husband....It's mostly for health reason for Hubby...Florida is not good to him....They are leaving tonight to go and find a house and her Son Christopher is coming to stay with us...He and Hayley go to the same middle school so he can ride the bus with her....Might have him with us until Christmas Eve as Kathy is going to drive back that day...The kids are all excited....
I am also looking forward to this weekend! I am comeing into the office Saturday morning to help Decorate the office...We have a decorating contest every year at the hospital...Each department chooses a Theme and decorates accordingly...We have outsiders come in and do the judging...I think I heard on of them is a Circuit Court Judge....That should be cool...Since I work in the Finance Department we are doing a "Fiscal Wonderland" We have Dollar bill Garland...Add Tape Paper Trees....Coin Stickers everywhere...A "Naughty or Nice" Vendor List with Photo's of Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Martha Stewart (In Prison Black and whites no less!) and a photo of our CFO....We're going to put a big Question mark by him so everyone can guess if he belongs in the Naughty or Nice Column...He's one of those CFO's that are really really good....detail oriented...anal retentive about figures and when Month End close comes around....will make everyone nuts! But with the accounting that Hospital's have to do now...you really can't blame him one bit...
Then onto Shopping with my Daughter in law Manisa!!!! I had put aside money for Patrick and Manisa, and it was decided that I was going to take Manisa shopping for Baby Stuff...I have one thing in mind that I really want to get her...it's called an Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound....My sister Julie (the one with Twins) told me she loved it....Had one for Nathan...It sends off an alarm if it doesn't detect any movement (it's sensitive enough for monitoring breathing) in 20 seconds...What a wonderful thing! I well remember Hayley being on an Apnea Monitor for the first year of her life....I am so glad they came out with this....Manisa also has picked out the crib bedding that she would like so I think I am going to get that as well....Should be a wonderful day all in all...I am so looking forward to it....Manisa has also just about passed all her classes (With A's and B's) so she's at home after the Holidays until the baby comes....
BTW....I think....and again it may change knowing my son....She now has a name...Kiari...You pronouce it Ki-Ree (long I....long E)...Kiari Obyran....Sounds PERFECT!!!!! Now they just have to come up with a middle name...After the baby is born and after Manisa recuperates....She will be going up to stay with Patrick...I will help her with the move but you know that every chance I can...I will have to get up there! While I would rather have my Granddaughter near her Grandma....Manisa needs to be up with Patrick....This separation has really been hard on the both of them and they are looking forward to it ending and being a family....WWWWWWAAAAAAA!!!!!! Happy for them....Sad that it means moving away from me!
Can you bribe Marine Officals to transfer him down by me????? NO??? Rats! Oh well...I will just rack up frequent Flyer miles I guess.....hahahaha....
Well...I had better get going....You all take care now!!!!!!!!

Is the Finance Department the same as the Business Office? I work in the Business Office at our hospital. Sounds like you've got some great decorating ideas! I hope your department wins the prize!
COOL! You work in a Hospital too!!!!
In ours...the Finance Department is responsible for all the accounting/accruals for the entire hospital...Paying the bills and keeping all the figures straight!!!! UGH! It gets fun at times dealing with all the departments......We had a business office and they handled the patient bills...Now they are consolidated up into Jacksonville...they did that with all HCA South Florida Hospitals....
I love the weather too! I can finally get into the Christmas spirit. I've been down here since '77, and I still can't get used to Christmas shopping in shorts. And we're supposed to have a freeze next Monday- just in time to ruin my veggie garden lol!
Ahhhhh....so it sounds like you function like our Administration Department does. They handle all of the hospital finances. My main function is reporting all of the deposit totals of monies deposited from the clinic receptionists for office copays, Optical Sales revenue, and Pharmacy copays. I've been doing this for about 4.5 years, and before that I was the Deposit Cashier....I had to count all of that money! But I loved it.
Tig I just love reading about you becoming a grandmother. It is simply beautiful.. As Terri said you glow, girl!
Thanks Guys...I am soooooo looking forward to becoming a Grandma...I can't wait...I will miss her terribly when she goes up....But since it's looking like Patrick is not going to get deployed until maybe summer....it's the best thing for both of them...Had he be deployed in February like he had been told...then Manisa would have stayed here until he got back....But now it looks like she'll have plenty of time to get aclimated to North Carolina...
But I am still all for bribing who ever I need to to have Patrick posted down here! hehehehehe
Wow. I knew you were from Ohio from previous posts on the Soundboard. but, I didn't know where from exactly. You used to live really close to me!
I'm another hospital employee. Like Kim, I work in the business office. Our Finance dept handles the payroll checks. The business office has all the billers.
We don't have any snow here, just cold temps. I guess we will be getting more cold this weekend.
Our kitten loves to play with the lights under the tree. Remember the cat in Christmas Vacation? *sigh*
Merry Christmas, Tig!!
WOW! Where abouts in Ohio????
My Sister still lives in Medina for the Moment but she's moving shortly to Brunswick...I miss it terribly....Rolling Acres Mall...Parmatown Mall...Are "The Flats" still in Cleveland and still popular to hang out in???
Hey Stormy...WOW yet another Hospital Employee! Yeah I have to deal somewhat with Payroll..While I don't do the actual work...Every other Wednesday me and my co-worker have to go and stuff all the checks! NOT FUN! Considering there are 2500 + employees here...UGH!
Merry Christmas to you guys!
Each and Everyone of you!
