Oven update
Good news my friends....the oven is officially dead, or at least it is now! Hubby went to replace the part and jammed something someplace it wasn't supposed to be so it's really a goner. I just hope I can get out on Sunday to pick one out and have it delivered early next week!
Again...Merry Christmas

Would it be Christmas in the Sulivan house if...
Now, for those of you who know me, being a Sullivan is NEVER easy...if it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all!
As you know I LOVE Christmas and spend weeks preparing everything from decoration to cookies. Well everything in the Sunny Spot has come to a halt with the demise of my, much hated, but needed stove. Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, last night as I was preparing my son a nutritious meal of corn dogs and potato skins, my oven stopped working...I was ready to go into a full blown panic attack. After a few very deep breaths, I stopped and sighed and asked Ryan (like the little girl in Poultergiset after Twitty died) "CAN I GET A NEW ONE NOW?"
Of course I went through the painstaking task of calling Maytag to see who they suggested to come out and fix it, and was told by the associate that it wouldn't be worth the service call, I should just replace it...Oh nameless Maytag associate, I LOVE YOU!!! So I spent the better half of last night searching for the perfect stove.
So this morning I get into work and we are having computer issues. I, of course, am totally distressed because I need to continue my search for the new love of my kitchen! As the morning goes on, I get a text message from Ryan asking if I took the oven info with me..."of course I did" I reply to which he asks me to give him the model and serial number. I reluctantly do so, because it is NEVER good when Ryan asks for find details. Long story short, he has a guy who repairs them and is getting the part that is needed so I can resume my duties as kitchen bitch. Not that it's not a bad thing, but I was hoping for my 10 years of marriage I would finally get the stove I WANTED...another dream crushed!
So if any of you are looking for a Christmas / Anniversary gift for me, I would love either a gift card to Pauladeen.com or a new stainless steal stove with 5 burners and duel ovens.
On a happier note, I wish you and your families the Happiest of Holidays and a safe and Happy New Year!

Chistmas Shopping, Flu Shots and CIty Fun
So Friday I took the day off from work to do clean sweep Christmas shopping...and yes I got it all done! I was feeling so accomplished I decided that this was the year that I was going to get a flu shot. So I went to the pharmacy first thing in the morning and talked to the pharmacist, who called my Dr. for clearance. I explained I had a full day and would be back later in the afternoon after all my errands were run. So off to the mall I go, but yet I never made it INTO the mall. I hit Toys R Us, Target, Dicks, The Christmas Tree Shop, Michael's and Borders...all around the mall, but never actually in it. I got all but 1 toy on my list, not bad considering it's me. I look at my watch and expect that I stood in line at TRU for at least 3 hours and it's close to 2pm...but no it's 12:30! I did all my shopping inside 3 hours, with a haircut!
So, I get to the pharmacy and it's a zoo, so I turn on my heels and head over to get a manicure and pedicure. At 3pm I go over and get ready to be shot. It's over in less then 3 seconds and I am on my way to get Danny. I told him since I made him get a shot that I got one too, he was very proud that I was "brave enough to go alone". My arm hurt for like an hour, but I survived.
On Saturday we went into the city with friends, it was a beautiful day weather wise and we took in the sights and the crowds. And boy was it crowded, now I remember why we always take a day off to go in. We started in Times Square, went down to FAO Schwarts back up 5th Avenue and looked at the windows then to Rockefeller Center. By 5pm I was beat and starting to feel under the weather, so we called it a day and left our friends to enjoy the rest of the night 3 less bodies.
Sunday we woke up to POURING rain and I felt crappy and achy, but in my usual headstrong way I fought thru and conquered my kitchen. I went grocery shopping, made a pot of soup and made batches of oatmeal raisin and gingerbread cookie dough and baked off 4 dozen chocolate chip and some oatmeal raisin. By the time I got to dinner it was 5:30...and I still had to clean up. By 8pm I was feeling really bad, almost feverish and all the time thinking, "when I was 17 and got a mumps vaccine, 3 days later I had the mumps"...oh boy, what had I done? I was in bed with NightQuil by 9pm and slept really hard. By about 3am I was totally over sleep, but talked myself back into a coma until 6:30am.
I woke this morning congested and sneezy, but functional enough to come to work, sneeze on EVERY available surface and hope everyone else in the office doesn't get this for the holidays. But I think about it this way, at least I didn't call in sick on a Monday morning!
HAPPY MONDAY XXXOOO
