Back online (sort of)
Dec. 23rd, 2006 03:30 pmPhone service is back up! As of Thursday actually, but I spent most of yesterday helping move stuff at work. I was debating coming back to help after picking Ginny-Bridgie up from work but my shoulders were going clickity-snap because I've been the one doing most of the lifting and they told me to go away and not come back and have a merry Christmas. In a nice way. ;) Work is mostly moved over to next door and at least I'll have a good idea where stuff is when we reopen because I moved about half of it.
Today we went to Ginny's family gathering thingy, her dad's side of the family. Every year they do this bingo game where everyone puts money in and whoever wins it donates the pot to the charity they want. I won! I'm working out how to divide up $305 to go to the Heifer Project, which Shad's gotten us all interested in over the years. We'll probably add some to it so we can do a couple goats and one of the promise baskets or something.
Busy with holiday stuff, hence the not being online much even though the phone service is fixed. Gabe, I will get to emling you soon. Maybe I'll even get off my lazy ass and call you guys.
Finally got the tree decorated completely this morning while watching Polar Express, which was on crack. I stayed up until 1AM finishing Ginny's gift, partly because I couldn't go to sleep after coming back from the Nutcracker. Out to do errands in a minute, but it feels like everything's basically ready for Christmas. I don't get big into the OMG holiday stress thing, because my parents used to and that's part of why I used to hate Christmas, but it's still nice to feel like everything's done and we're just down to fun stuff.
Yeeeah... that's it I guess. Happy Holidays!
