Heath Ledger

Hey, so I am addicted to FOX NEWS online. They just reported that Heath Ledger is dead! That is so unbelievable. I mean he is in his 20's a big time star!
Fox reported that they found him at a NYC residence that they believe is his home. They think it might be drug related! Gosh that is so surreal.

All I can say is THANK GOD for everyday that my family gets to live and that the people that I love and who are close to my heart are still with me. Thanks be to God and I pray that I have many more years with them.

Hair-dos, Highlights, Seafood, and random comments!

Alright so I went to the salon, Salon Vogue, last Thursday. I went in and told Becky, my wonderful hairdresser, that I wanted something a bit different. So we cut about 4 inches off, then we put lots of layers in (some of them are short), and then the big change was that I got bangs. Not like straight across blunt bangs, but short swoopie bangs. I LOVE IT! We laughed because after she cut it she was fixing it when she asked, "how long has it been since you have had bangs?" I replied "oh about 7th grade!" She laughs and says "well we are going to have to do some training because your hair is not used to short swoopie bangs"! However, we made it work quite well. Some of my new favorite hair things are my BIG SEXY HAIR products and my Velcro body rollers! JON LOVES IT TOO! SCORE! :)
This Thursday I have an appointment to get my hair highlighted...takes to long to do it all in one day! I am so excited.
This is a busy week at work. We have the board of directors coming in for the annual first of the year broad meeting. So we have been busy!
Tonight I am so excited. Jon and I are going to the local grocer to get STEAMS SHRIMPS AND CRAB LEGS for dinner! I think I will in heaven, plus we have American IDOL.
TOMORROW is HUMP day so only to days left until Friday...the weekend! Now that I am working 7-5 five days a week I live for the weekends to do nothing or should I say a bunch of somethings that usually make me happy because it is not work! :)
It is cold, messy, and rainy outside so I am ready to get home...see my hubby.
Oh I got a new recipe for LOW CAL INDIVIDUAL RED VELVET Cakes....can't wait to try that. I have also been doing some research for healthy or better for you Superbowl snacks. I will try to post some of those on here soon!
Well until next time....hugs, Lisa

GIRLS NIGHT

Well, I get off in 30 minutes. I am so ready. I have been busy today and I am ready to let loose. We have girls night tonight. Me and some of my girl friends from work are going out to dinner at DON PEPE's and then to play BINGO! It will be nice to go out with them and talk about things other than work!

Today it has been raining and sleeting all day. It is really messy outside. The weather blogger on ABC 33/40 said today winter is half over. Not sure how I feel about that! I do know it is super cold (for Alabama).

So Jon Jon is totally OK with me going to girls night. First because he knows I am his for the weekend excluding the 5 or 6 hours I have to work at Mom's tax office. Secondly because he said he needed some guy's time ...ie meaning he would sit at home to night, order a pizza, and play his XBOX 360. I know I will get home and he will have the house a mess, but I love him so I won't kill him!

So funny story! I almost killed Jon last night or should we say this morning! At precisely 3:38 this morning Jon rolls over and says "You took all the covers...and rips (My one blanket) off me! I am fuming at this point because not only did he wake me up, but I was cold! So to get even I stomped over to the lights, flipped them on, and ripped the cover off Jon, and said...."look at you! You have TWO OTHER COVERS....BUT YOU ARE LAYING ON THEM! THIS IS MINE...I ONLY HAVE ONE AND YOU STOLE IT! (you should know we have different covers because we both steal them so we have different ones so this does not happen) I walked back over turned off the light got in bed and said "DON"T TOUCH ME OR TALK TO ME" I was so mad...of course once I left the house for work I called him and he was so sorry. He remembered what he did and felt bad! LOL It is funny to think about this in hind sight. Bless his sweet little heart!

Well stay warm and take care! I will write soon! oxox Lisa

Under the Weather and hit by a MACK TRUCK

Alright, so I have been under the weather and hit by a big ole mack truck. This weekend was great...I was feeling very fortunate that I had not gotten sick like so many others that I know. Well then 2 am rolls around Monday morning and I thought I was being back over by a mack truck multuiple times. I woke up vomiting uncontrollably....boy I know Jon was rethinking the whole sickenss and in health thing...I had a fever. I was so sick that I don't even remember much about Monday. Obvioulsy I could not go to work, Jon has told me all kinds of stories about almost passing out with my eyes rolled to the back of head, being really loud at the doctor's, and just silly things that I have said. I did not wake up (like for real get out of bed and do something) again after hitting the doctors until yesterday at about 1ish or 2ish. The doc said I had a bacterial infection and possibly the flu. I had not been sick like that in a while. It totally blindsided me. Thank goodness for Jon. He had to take off work to take care of me. It was patheictic. I am feeling better now, just a bit weak.

PS> I STILL HAVE HOLIDAY PICTURES COMING!

Movies

Here in the past few weeks Jon and I have been frequent visitors to the movie theatre. We have really started enjoying going. We used to not go because I could not be quite long enough to watch the movie, but I have improved. So this is what we have seen:
This Christmas (I loved it so much that I will be purchasing it when it comes out)
Alvin and the Chipmunks (I liked it. It was a cute little movie)
National Treasure (Jon and I both enjoyed it...looking forward to the next one)
I Am Legend (Made me jump a lot...it was different)
PS. I Love You (I LOVED IT...I cried like a baby, but man it was good)
Next on my list: 27 Dresses

Happy New Year...

Well, I know it is a little late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR. Things have been crazy here starting off the new year. I had to work New Year's Eve and so did Jon. He was in bed by 10:30 and I was asleep by 12:45. New Years day was a day of relaxing together and lots of football. I asked Jon if he were upset about us not having any BIG new years plans and he said no. He just wanted to start the year off together me and him. I thought that was sweet. So we made a few resolutions...which will be kept to ourselves...and we are OFF for a new year full of wonder and excitement.

So busy...so many things to do, so little time!

Hey guys. I know it has been a while since I have updated! Since Thanksgiving Jonathan and I have been running none stop! We are enjoying just being together for our first big holiday season as husband and wife.

Thanksgiving was good. We went home to Gordo and got to celebrate and give thanks with everyone. Jon got to help cook at my dads which he revealed in the fact of. I cooked sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, and dressing for that dinner.

As with every year my mom and I along with my sister-in-law went out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We left at 3:30 and we did not return home until about 4 that day. It was great. My best purchase was a Christmas tree for our house. It is a 7 ft. pre-lit white light tree. So pretty...my favorite thing is the fact that when you touch the branches on the outside they feel real. Jon's favorite thing is that it came with a remote control so you never have to unplug the tree. It only cost up about $55 after our rebate.

The last weekend in November Jon had to work so we stayed around the house and hung out with our friends. Then the first weekend in December we had a wedding to go to. That was interesting! It was a cute wedding. Brought back some great feeling of when Jon and I got hitched! lol That was the first wedding we have been to since ours that one of us has not been in.

The 6th, which was a Friday Jon and I went Christmas shopping. We had breakfast together at Cracker Barrel and then made a day of it. We finished all of our Christmas shopping in that day! Thank goodness.

Last weekend Jon and I went to Nashville. It was magical! We loved every minute of it! Just spending time together during the holidays and everything was great! We did a lot of shopping, went to ICE How the Grinch stole Christmas, went to Gaylord Opryland hotel, and played at the arcade, and had some great food! Jon took me to the Apple Barn twice! I love that store. We got some cute pictures. I will try to post tonight. I have lots to show.

Last night we had our company Christmas party. It was SOOOOOOOO much fun. They had it at this little restaurant down town called Bettola. The food was yum, the company was awesome. My friends Janna and her fiancee and Cheyenne and her husband, and my friend Jennifer. So much fun! We are planing to all go out after the first of the year again it was so much fun! We did not want to leave.

Friday night we have Christmas with Jon Jon's family. That should be interesting, and hopefully good times! I am making a pie for the occasion. I think I am going to make a candy bar pie. We will see.
Jon has been working until midnight this week so I miss him something awful. He was off last night, the tonight and Thursday he will be working again to midnight! NO FUN! BOO! He is my best friend and there is no on else I would rather spend my time with.

Saturday went Jon gets off at 1 I think we are still going to celebrate our friend Erin's birthday. Then that night or Sunday we will be heading home to have Christmas with the family!

Monday night we have Christmas with my dad and family and then after that we have Christmas with my mom and her family at my uncle's house. Christmas morning we will be spending at my dad's and then that afternoon Jon and I will head home of our first CHRISTMAS ALONE at OUR HOUSE!@ I can't wait. Jon is itching to get his present! LOL I am enjoying it some much...I am off Wednesday to recuperate for everything that has gone on in the past month. They closed our office Christmas eve so I got my PTO hours back and I have to use them! YEA!

Well if I do not post again before Christmas...MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR, and GOD BLESS. LOVE, THE WHITTENS! oxoxox
