My Finger Hurts

I would first like to apologize to anyone who might fuind this offensive. I am sorry, Austin is not perfect. Now to the story.

I spent all day Thursday calling and writing letters to clients because the Court decided that it wanted to move all of Tuesday's hearing times for the next two weeks to the next three Mondays. It is pretty vital that the clients know this information so they don't get in trouble for missing their court dates and I send letters so we can prove we told them. By the end of the day, my fingers hurt. While I do type during the day, it isn't usually an all day affair.

Last night when Austin and I were laying in bed, I told him my fingers hurt. To which his reply was, "my finger hurts, I've been driving all day." So, know I am going to check everyday to see if his finger hurts.

The Reason is

I keep wanting to post an update. It's a new year and I would like to write on my blog more. However, I keep having days on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Well, moments I guess is a better description. I'll have a great day, but then when I get to a computer to write it all down, I am having a downer and all I want to do is complain. That is not fun so I keep my thoughts to myself.

Anyway, Christmas was great. I got a huge bonus, somewhat unexpected, but I totally surprised Austin with it. You see, he has been wanting a PS3 for the longest time, about 6 months. We would go and look at them and comeback depressed because there was no way we could afford it. He would be depressed for a couple of days and then go back to hoping maybe I would relent and we would get one (I do the budgeting). Well, the Saturday before Christmas I went shopping while he was at work and I had to be sneaky because I bumped into his sister and his family CAN NOT keep a secret. So I was shopping for longer than I intended because I wanted it to be a surprise. When I wrapped it I put it in a huge box so he could never guess what it was and then I didn't even bring it home until Christmas Eve. It really helps having family around so I can hide presents at their houses. When he opened it he kinda felt bad because he knew I spent more on him (he got the rest of the bonus money) than he did on me, but that lasted about as long as it took to open the box, set it up and start playing the one game he had, Gran Turismo.

New Years was fun. We stayed at home, and rang in the new year very mellow. Austin stayed up to 6:00 a.m. playing video games with Justin, his nephew. I went to bed, as watching video games is kinda boring. The real excitement came the next day when one of our outdoor faucets burst and we couldn't find the water turn off valve. The water was freezing as it came out. I was in a dress because I was about to go to church when we discovered the break. I think I am now sick because of that. We couldn't get a hold of our landlord, but as my Aunt use to manage the property, she and my uncle came to the rescue. It is all good now.

Oh, and both Austin and I got raises. I think that is a great start to a new year.
