The Holiday Season

Well, Christmas is four days away. How weird is that? It's mild and rainy and feels nothing like Christmas. Not that I'm complaining. I'm not one of those people hoping for snow on Chirstmas Day. Christmas will come and go with or with out snow. We still get to open presents and spend hours with family and listen to Christmas music and watch the Disney Parade (that never has snow) and what ever else you might normally do on Christmas Day.

Anyway, my fun begins tomorrow. With the TNOF gift exchange party. Then Saturday is the first family gathering. We will exchange gifts with my mom's side of the family. Then on Christmas Eve, we will again gather with my mom's side for dinner. On Christmas Day, I will wake up to the children opening presents. After which I plan to nap, then go to my Aunt Sue's for turkey dinner. From there we go to my Uncle Karl's to sit on Santa's lap and get our final gift of the night. One would think that is enough family fun for one season, but not us. Nope. We will get together once more on the 30th for the final gift exchange. Yay (that is a sarcastic yay).

I'm looking forward to not working. Sleeping in. Being lazy. Spending time with friends. Shopping. And I think NYE will be fun this year. Even if Ryan chooses to be lame and not hang with us. (Yes, I know a certain someone can be annoying, but you're going to let one person keep you from spending NYE with many friends??? That's silly).

Ok, I really should try to find some work to do. I really don't have any, but I should at least give it a try.

Happy Holidays!

Hello

Hi! I thought I would post an update for those who still check this blog and are tired for seeing the 'Lions and Tigers and Spartans, Oh My!'

I have offically finished my first semetser back to school. I'm not sure how long it will take to get the grades back, but I'm not worried. I should have 2 A's and a B. Winter classes begin on January 8.

I have a lot of shopping to do. I have yet to buy one present for X-mas yet. I tend to be a last minute shopper. I make my list of things to buy very early, but I wait and wait to actually go buy them. But, since I have a holiday potluck and gift exchange at work tomorrow, I guess I have to start today!!

And --- I have started dating someone. He is a friend of our friends that got married in Mexico. I had met him 2 or 3 times before, but we had never paid much attention to each other. In Mexico we started talking and had a really good time. Unfortunately, he works midnights so there is only one day a week we can see each other (Saturday). But, it seems to be good so far. He will be at the New Year's Eve party - for those of you coming with us you can meet him! And of course his name is........Dave. I know, I must be cursed! Anyway, Beckie and I talked about it and he will be referred to as El Dave so we know who I'm talking about going forward - haha!

Well, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Jolly New Year, etc.
:-P

SATC

You Are Most Like Carrie!

You're quirky, flirty, and every guy's perfect first date.
But can the guy in question live up to your romantic ideal?
It's tough for you to find the right match - you're more than a little picky.
Never fear... You've got a great group of friends and a
great closet of clothes, no matter what!


Romantic prediction: You'll fall for someone this year...

Totally different from any guy you've dated.
