Welllllllllllllllllllllll I guess I should update for the holiday weeks =). I'll start with Christmas week. Monday and Tuesday I worked here at the office for 8 hours. It was nice, there wasn't much to do at all and Nancy wasn't here so it was really laid back. We had lunch with Gwen and Becca on Monday. That was cool, we went to the Cellar and hung out and ate. It was really nice to catch up with those two. I forgot how much fun they can be. Hehe I still have to get Gwen a gift for Christmas, I know she got me one and she might have gotten me a birthday present too. I wonder if Kate and Amber will remember to throw me a birthday party. Probably not, which sucks but I'm not going to bring it up. Tuesday was a long day, we really didn't have anything to do and we left early. Tuesday night and Wednesday I finally finished my CHristmas shopping. I had to get Dad an emergency present because I couldn't find his original one. I got him the DVD of Planes Traines and Automobiles. I had gotten him some driving gloves but I lost them. I found them yesterday and gave them to him as a late Christmas present. He really liked them I think. The Christmas eve service was really cool very nice singing and of course the candel-light part was nice. Although Pastor was kind of annoying with his whole "Let's be enthusiastic" kick. Oh well. Everyone was a little tired by the time we go home. I was exhausted and still had most of my wrapping to do. We watched Muppet Christmas Carol and then I did my wrapping and we headed for bed. We got to bed around 11:30 which is the earliest I've been in bed for a long time. Which was good because the little guys were getting us up at 4 the next morning. That is entirely to early to be up I know. But Betsy had to be at work at 7 so we needed time to get everything done and opened. I have to say I didn't sleep very well at all. We got up at 4 and I was very groggy. It seemed to take forever for Mom and Dad to sort out all the presents for the first couple of rounds. I got a watch, which I will exchange, and a black leather jacket that is really nice. It's actually one of the ones that I looked at in the store and probably would have bought it if I didn't get one for Christmas. I also got three books which will keep me busy for a while. John got me some combat boots that will look good hopefully on the rapier lists. Unfortunately they are too small and he's going to send them back and get a new pair. Hopefully before Ice Castles which is at the end of January. We went to Grandma's the day after CHristmas and came back on the 27th. It was a pain in the butt to drive behind Dad and Betsy. Betsy still doesn't understand how to drive on the interstate. Oh well. On the 27th I spent most of the day trying to "fix" Rob and Lou's computer. That was really frustrating because it's an old machine that is chugging along and is pretty much hosed or will be in the next couple of months. But they were grateful that I looked at it and they gave me lunch. I left after the other cars though and got caught in traffic coming home. It wasn't a very fun trip kinda boring. The whole week was kinda boring, nothing really happend. But at least I wasn't sick anymore. I called Troy on Christmas and we talked for a good while about anything and everything. We are much better now and there's really no hard feelings over the Amber thing. I also called Kate to tell her Merry Christmas, she was really enjoying work and on CHristmas day she enjoyed sleeping in. Grrr I'm still jealous. That's all for now, I'll write again in a while to tell about New Years week which was much much more exciting.
