I'm getting frustrated

I'm getting frustrated with my Doctor. I have left messages to her secretary and they have not called back. It has been awhile since my bone scan and I would like to know if it showed anything. I'm just glad that I don't have anything life threatening because the way they treat their patience, as far as letting them know what's up with them, I would be dead by now... A simple phone call saying the Doctor will contact me soon would go a long way. Is that too much to ask? Getting my results apparently is.

Anyway...christmas is over and it's back to reality, for some at least. I'm still off since the office is closed this week so I am home doing nothing of importance. Yesterday I did manage to go to the farmers market and make dinner for us and do 1 load of laundry after playing on my computer, watching TV and playing guitar hero. Yes, I got a guitar hero from my secret Santa JoeAnn! It's awesome.

On christmas eve I cleaned a little, made korvapuusti/cinnamon buns and chilled while T was at work. After she came home, she packed a bag and then it was gift time. I got tickets to see Teemu Selänne and Anaheim Ducks at the Madison Square Garden vs. Rangers in January which I asked for. I want to see him play before he retires...right now he's hurt though so I'm hoping he will be back before then. But it's a hockey game so it will be fun! And I will wear my Finland jersey to the game to represent. For christmas I also got a Mets Jersey and an Eagles jersey. A girl can never have enough jerseys! I wore my new Eagles jersey on sunday and think I should wear it again next sunday since the Eagles beat the cowgirls and it seemed to have brought good luck. Baseball season starts in April and now I have options. I hope we will go to few games during the summer. I also got UGG slippers, they are so comfy and soft! Our downstairs floor is made from wood and since we're at ground level it's cold so I needed those! They're awesome too. I also got the Gilmore Girls DVD that was given to me the day before and Winnie the Pooh, Hoops&YoYo coffee mug, a bunch of fuzzy socks which I needed for my foot, a hair straightener and a table calendar with cute animal babies in it! It was a great christmas eve and only the beginning!

We also got gift from Finland addressed to both of us...Now I don't understand the total lack of trust that the Finns have in me, namely my mom and Elviira! My mom told me that if their present had been here before christmas I would have opened it before the 24th anyway so she gave Arttu's gifts to him early! And then when I opened the present from Elviira ON THE 24TH AS INSTRUCTED, I find ANOTHER layer of wrapping paper on it and a note asking if it was christmas eve yet! Now WTF?!?!?! I can be good...I WAS good! Not nice people...not nice!

After we opened our gifts we headed to upstate. T's brother's in-laws host a party every x-mas eve and that's where we ended up. We hang out with Carly who was so cute in her candy cane pyjama's. She was sitting on the floor with her cousins, singing and talking and yelling as only an 8 month old baby can. She is the cutest baby ever and so well behaving. She barely ever cries. And now that she's sitting and holding things and smiling and laughing, she is so much fun to be with!

After the party we went to T's moms and I helped her wrap gifts. I went to bed around midnight only to be waken up right after 6am to go to T's dad's house to see her little sisters open their presents. They got Wii Fit and Rock band for Wii among other things. I got subscription for National Geographic, which was on my list and a gift card to Gap. T got the first book of the Twilight series and a gift card to Barnes and Nobles, which is a book store. T also got a pen from her dad and she and her brothers got the state quarters from the last 10 years. Their dad collects coins so he had been collecting them for them for the past 10 years. Me, T and her brothers and their wives gave her dad a golf bag he had asked for and her step mom we gave perfume. For T's sisters we gave the American Idol for Wii and T gave them games and puzzles. We stayed there until 10 am, played a little rock band and then headed back to T's moms for breakfast and more presents.

We had decided between the 6 of us, me, T and her brothers and their wives to do secret Santa this year which meant that we drew a name from a hat and bought present(s) only for that person. I bought a present to Billy, Billy got Johnny, Johnny got Amanda, Amanda got T, T got JoeAnn and JoeAnn got me. I bought Billy a thermal long sleeve shirt and gloves for skiing from Spider as he's big on skiing and was asking stuff from Spider. I wasn't sure if that would be enough even though T said Billy would love his stuff so I got him a Jets tailgating chair as well. He was probably the happiest of all of us and we all got kick ass presents! As I said before, I got guitar hero and a music game for Wii and T got Wii Fit! We were really happy with our gifts. T's mom gave me a candle, lotions from the Body Shop and fuzzy socks. T's nana gave everybody money and my name was in the envelope together with Tiffany's which is curious because according to T the L word has never been mentioned to nana....I thought it was interesting.

After Johnny and JoeAnn left T went to take a shower at which point Judy wanted my help in the kitchen so I was helping her to male the apple sauce! We had spiked eggnog while we slaved in the kitchen, that's some great stuff! After all the food was done we left to go to Johnny and JoeAnn's. We had a great dinner, there was about 20 of us and after dinner it was time to open some more presents. I got a little travel bag from T's aunt, a scentener thingy from her uncle and we got the present of the year from her cousin Erin! It was a picture of her and her boyfriend Scott dressed as elfs! Or is that how they always look....hhmmmmm ;-)

Carly once again was the Belle of the ball getting the most presents as in almost every place. We took some cute pictures of her, one of which is on T's blog right now where she sits in a box. I will post some pictures soon. I gave Carly a stuffed Piglet or Nasu in Finnish and T bought her this cute fake fur winter overall. We did not go crazy on her gifts mainly because she won't remember this christmas. We also got Santa Claus to write a letter for her, it was waiting for her when she came home from Jamaica few days before x-mas.

It was a great x-mas but we were happy to get back home too. We came home a day earlier than we originally thought, in the evening of 25th. T's mom was working the 26th so we decided to come home and chill with the cats, put our Wii's in place and not having to go anywhere unless we wanted to. On the 26th T thought it would be a good idea to go to the mall as it's one of the major shopping days in this country. We lasted about 30 minutes before we were both done with people. TOO MANY PEOPLE! Afterwards we went to Red Lobster to eat and then to Target to check for games for our Wii. T bought 2 but after trying them we were not happy. We might try to exchange them later on...

That was our x-mas. Good times!
