About a week until Christmas. I am so excited! It's a little sad being here during this time. Kind of lonely. Christmas has always been such a large and important holiday to me and my family. Not so much with John's. But that's okay. I've been listening to those sappy Christmas only radio stations in my car and at work. My assistant has gotten so sick of it she had to change it back to her country station. That's when I brought in my own radio to listen in my office! Although I can understand how "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Winter Wonderland" can get annoying. Besides the music, I'm also baking pumpkin bread. This is another tradition I liked doing. My sisters, mom, and I would bake cookies and other goodies more so around this time of year than at any other time. The entire house would smell delicious. Since John is out and it's 10pm Thursday night, I decided to go ahead and blast the music, turn on our Christmas lights, and bake!! Those short periods of time when I'm home by myself is nice. I like it. It's quite and peaceful, just me and I can do whatever I want. And tonight, I turned off the TV, logged off facebook, turned up the music, lights, and oven and got a' bakin!

Drug Reps

They're great! They come by, visit you in the office and are uber nice to you. Give you free brochures and samples. (they used to give us goodies like pens and post-its). Then on top of all that, they take you to fabulous steak houses where you order appetizers, salad, wine, 10z steaks topped with crab meat, and dessert. Okay, so if I ever go to places like that on my own, it's more like "I'll have the chicken, to drink, water, no salad, no appetizer, no dessert... thank you, sir". This really is a perk. So if any of you are looking for a job where you go and smooch in doctors offices and are given a ridiculously large amount of money to take your clients out to fancy dinners, this may be the job for you

Good music can make it all better. Blast it
