When it hits the fan, it really hits the fan...
This past weekend took forever, and it was not the good kind of forever.
As I was getting ready for work I got a call from Death (ok it was really mom sounding like death) saying that her and Laura had the flu. She asked me to drop off white soda and gatorade, on the stoop, ring the doorbell and leave. After work was done we started the weekend on a high note having dinner with Kyle, Krystin, Cole, Naomi, and Emily at Naomi's house. It was delicious and lots of fun!
The festivities ended and we arrived to our wonderful apartment to be in bed at 10pm, yes we are getting old, only to be woken up by Scott's work calling him telling him a freezer alarm is going off and that he needs to come in and move everything from the -80 degree freezer to a different one because it is crashing. Scott was NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT, mind you it was 11:30pm. As he started his trek to Milwaukee, I get a call from him 10 minutes later thinking he needed someone to keep him awake, only to find out he blew a tire and I need to pick him up at Costco. So I role out of bed leaving my dreams and warm bed behind and go to pick up my husband and proceed to travel all the way down to Milwaukee with him. He switched everything over to the -20 degree freezer and we proceeded home to our bed by 3am.
With the care now needing a tire we have to get up at 8:30 to get to Costco before all the other crazy people do so we can stand in line for an hour just to get our car on the list to get done that day. While waiting for a call from the tire center at Costco we got some Christmas shopping done, spent some time at home, ate out at Qdoba, and visited Pear & Simple in Port (very cute store). Now that it was approaching 3pm without a call from Costco, we decided to stop there and see what is going on with the car, only to find out that they were not able to fix it and we have to buy two new tires. Luckily they warentied some of the blown tire so we didn't have to pay full price for both of them. With that news we headed home tired and defeated from the day.
7:15 comes along and so does the tinkling little noise from Scott's pager. Scott made the necessary calls only to find out that he has to go back down to work to run a STAT test for a patient. This is how the night went...Scott went to work, I stayed home lonely wrapping the presents we just bought and crying to It's A Wonderful Life. He arrived back home around 11pm. Now super tired and defeated we decide to skip church and get some much needed sleep the next morning.
We have a wonderful Sunday morning being lazy, staying in bed, wearing comfy sweats, drinking a pot of coffee, all the while waiting for the Packer game to start. I interest Scott in playing some Harry Potter Wii before the game to get some "bonding" time in. I go to set up the Wii to find out it is not working! WONDERFUL! WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG THIS WEEKEND?!?!?!?
Bumbed about that we didn't know what else to do besides sit there and stare at each other, hoping for the week to start, so we have something else to look forward to. Little did we know the weekend had more in store for us...
Upon the ending of the horrendous Packer game the power flickered a few times then decided to shut off for good. Scott was studying for his upcoming test and I was trying to keep my mind busy while the little light we had was starting to get lost as the sun went down. Off to the in-laws house so we could be warm. While we were waiting we saw White Christmas, which Scott suggested we see Saturday night together before he got called to work. Around 8:30 we decided to go home to see if the power was on, if it was not we were going to stay at the in-laws house for the night. Thank God it was on and we could sleep in our own bed for the night.
All in all we ended the weekend in each others arms watching White Christmas to wake up to freezing cold temperatures outside and the check engine light on in the Elantra.
What a weekend!

50 free Christmas Cards
As like Krystin I also love receiving Christmas cards especially picture Christmas cards. Shutterfly is giving bloggers 50 free Christmas Cards for posting about their cards on your blog. I have been seeing a lot of this post on other people’s blog and of course wanted to get in on the excitement and get the word out!
I love them all!
This is going to be my first experience with Shutterfly and I am looking forward to the many more opportunities in the future to be working with them. The day the cards come in the mail will be met with fun and excitement to show the family what Scott and I have been up to in the past year. I love the ones with many places to put pictures. I am super excited because there are so many choices I don’t know what one to choose, check it out here http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards
Which one should I choose?
I love them all!
