Wow... It's been awhile
Hard to believe I didn't write at all in December, and January 2013 is over already!
So much has happened, and yet nothing seems different!!
Lets start with an overview of the holidays!
Christmas was good. We celebrated with my moms side of the family on Christmas Eve. My dads parents also came along. It was a low key evening for all. After my brother took my niece back to her mother I had to go play Santa's helper and wrap Christmas Gifts. After we finished that Matt and I headed to Church before heading home.
Christmas morning was more like Christmas at lunchtime! I think we slept until 11am. Matt did not want to get up, but he eventually did! We exchanged gifts, and then got ready to go visit the Criado family! His Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bruce always have Christmas Day, so we headed there for a couple of hours. When we left the Criado's we headed to Stahlstown to stop at Grandma and Pappy Monticue's to round out our Christmas visiting!!
Matt was able to get some work done around the house while on break from school! He finally got the cooktop installed and running in the kitchen!! We can cook now!!!!
Also in the month of December Alex moved his business down inside Laurel Valley Hardware! What an experience that was. Everything looks great now, but getting there was quite a challenge!!
We rang in the New Year with the Dumnich family playing Wii games and Hunter singing us his rock star songs!!
January started much better than last year, and lets hope 2013 stays that way!!
Matt started back to school, he will graduate in December 2013 FINALLY!!!!!! This semester he finally got around to taking all of his elective classes. His choices are, naturally, all over the board. He has Astronomy, Archeology, and the Bible as Literature, in addition to one engineering class.
Matt should only have to take two classes in the summer and two in the fall then before he GRADUATES!! I really didn't think he would ever to get to the point of earning his bachelors, but it is so close!!
January was a calm month full of snow and work!! My anxiety about driving in the snow is easing although I'm still not used to it!! But living on the top of the Mountain we get hammered and they never clear the roads!!! Blah!!
February is in full swing and moving right along......

I "heart" Cyber Monday Sales
I'm pretty sure I got the deal of the century on my curtains for my house yesterday during Cyber Monday! I ordered curtains from KMart/Sears and went online to search out coupon codes. I found one for $10 off a $50 home purchase. I had in my cart:
2 Brown Panels @ $19.99 each
4 Cream Panels @ $19.99 each
6 White Panels @ $ 9.99 each
AND I added two skirts and a possible Dress for my Cousins Wedding:
Black Skirt @ $ 9.80
Silver Skirt @ $ 7.00
Black Dress @ $ 11.20
Now, my TOTAL for shipping (FREE over $50), Tax (6% on curtain panels), and Purchases was ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................... $88.74!!!
What???? Apparently the $10 off of $50 took $10 off of EACH panel of curtains! (BONUS) This means the 6 White Panels were FREE!!! There was no charge on them at all! And the Brown and Cream Panels were $9.99 each! I'm not sure HOW or WHY this happened but I was so excited I hurried up and ordered my cart before the glitch was found!! Matt told me I should have ordered more curtains! So we can interchange them as we feel!

UPDATE to the Washer and Dryer
I called Sears over the weekend, and of course the department I needed was not open, so I had to wait and call back yesterday, Monday. The first girl I talked to was connecting me to her supervisor because she was unable to help me, but while doing so someone along the lines disconnected my phone call (UGH) so I had to call back!! The second girl I spoke with said she would get me connected to another department who could handle my 'crisis'! The girl she connected me to was fantastic! I told her I needed a washer by Wednesday and although she said she couldn't do Wednesday she did schedule me Thursday!! She also said the technicians can request over night parts and have them the very next day (as long as it is early enough in the day)!!!! So I have calmed down, and I'm ready to get some laundry done, only two more days!! Well maybe three or four until Matt can stack the dryer and get it hooked up! But still Saturday is SO much better than Tuesday!!!

New Washer and Dryer
Matt and I finally got found a good deal on a stackable HE washer and dryer and we picked them up last Saturday (november 17) from Sears. When we got them home Dad and Matt couldn't get the washer door open. So.... We had I call for service and they were not able to come for 6 days, today (November 23)!!! The guy came and of course the washer is defective and NATURALLY the part isn't in stock so it has to be ordered an he can't come back until December 4!! That's ELEVEN- count them 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 MORE days I have to wait for the washer to be corrected!! The service tech temporarily fixed the washer but left the top off of the washer (see picture below) that way in case the door jams we can get it open. This is all well and good if the washer and dryer were not STACKABLE!!! So while the service tech made it easy to use the washer how am I to use the dryer??? Buy additional piping (that can be quite pricey to buy the 'good stuff') and buy a longer cord to run to the plug since it runs on 220 in addition to put it in the walk way into my bathroom so I have to climb over it for the next 11 days??? Yeah, not happening.... Matt thinks I'm over reacting when I flipped out on him for just accepting it will be 11 more days...what do you think? Am I over reacting or do I have a right to be furious!! I mean I'm the one who has to haul the laundry out of here to wash and dry it and waste time I could be working on something else....like trying to get some sort of order in the house!! This in no way impacts his life- it merely inconveniences mine. Maybe if I don't do laundry until the washer is fixed he will get the point!
