Careful what you say

When I was younger I said that I would never do what I am about to do on Friday. I am still in a little bit of denial but it is going to happen. I know that I have turned into an adult just by doing this. I am hosting a Tupperware party. Only old people are suppose to do this but now I am one of them. I have learned careful what you say. There are things that I said when I was younger, that I would not do or say. Now I am finding my self doing and saying these thing.
1. I will never listen to country music-- I do now
2. I would never make my bed-- do now.
3. Never marry anyone like my father -- got one just like him now (down to the snoring and shaved head)
4. Nag my husband --- all the time
5. Never stay a job for more than a couple of years -- been at my job for almost 10
6. Never own a formal couch -- wanted and got one for Christmas
7. I will wear my shoes in the house if I want -- Take your shoes off at the door.


Some days I have a hard time believing that I am almost 30.

work makes me laugh

As some of you know, I am a clerical supervisor at a xray and ultrasound clinic. I have worked for this company for almost 10 years (my how time flies). I have almost hard and seen everything weird there is but today, I think I heard one that is now at the top of the list.

A lady sticks her head out of a change room and says "excuse me, but do I get changed in there or somewhere else?"
And I replied "In there, that is why it is called a change room." It came out of my mouth before I had the chance to think what I was saying. I am normally a little more careful with my words but this time it just came out.

If you think that was funny, I was get a man changed for an exam. I said to him take of your pants and your shirt off then put a gown on so it ties in the back. A couple of minutes later I came by the change room and there he was in the hallway. No shirt, no pants, no underwear, and the gown wrapped around his head like a turban. I quickly put him back in the change room and made him put something back..... anything. It was scary at the time but now I just laugh liking about it.

If little things that didn't happen I would have to cry some days. At the clinic everyday we have sad stories. (Baby losses, cancer, sick kids, etc) So when things like happen it lightens the mood just a little bit and makes the day a little more tolerable.

Birthday Week

This week has been a little busy. On Dec 30 was Steve's 30th birthday. I had a party planned. We meet with family and friend for a couple cold beverages and fun. He finally found out all of the little secrets that I had planned for him. Number one secret was the gift that I got him. If you don't know Steve, he is a big NASCAR fan and a collector of Dale Earnhardt things (and I mean any thing). He has been dieing to get one of these hoods. And as you can see he was very happy.

Here is a little better picture of it.

The second of my secrets was that I had a special cake made for him. I think it is soooo cute. He was a little cranky that I put that picture on it but he got over it in a hurry. Let me tell you, the cake was soooo good.

The picture was from kindergarten.

This is what the cake looked like after Steve got his fingers on it.

Then on the 31st (new years eve) our previous plans feel though so we went to a friends place and watched the hockey game and played a couple of board games. It was a pretty quiet night but that was ok. New years day was "lay around in your pj's day".

Both of us did not go back to work until Jan 3. It was a short work week but mentally it took for ever for the weekend to get here. On Friday afternoon I was sitting at work and in comes a man holding this big thing of flowers. I was kind of hoping that they were for me because have always wanted flowers sent to me. Then he said that they were for Tanis ... I had to think for a minute.. hey, that's me. I finally had flowers sent to me. This has never happened. They are beautiful. I have a great husband.

Yes this picture is taken in my bathroom. I have to put them there because if I don't my cats will eat them (Laura you know that to well) and besides shouldn't every girl have flowers in her bathroom. That way you can't she the soap scum building up on the bathtub.

Well now it is January 6 2007. I am now 29 years old (I have no problems saying it....talk to me next year, it might be a different story). Everyone keeps asking how it feels.... I tell them - Great because I am not as old as Steve. We went to dinner at Red Lobster. I love seafood but don't get it very much. It is hard to make when Steve won't eat it. But today was my day so we went.
