It seems that Christmas week is here. Talk about a month flying by like none other! I can see now how making plans for a December reception kept us all so busy that we didn't even notice that half of December was about over!
I tried to get out this weekend to do some shopping but with the crutches found it absolutely exhausting. I'm so tired of dealing with them...until I realize and remember that some people deal with them daily...for the rest of their lives. Then I'm able to get out of my little pity party and move on. We came home and got on the internet to finish things up. We both agreed to start earlier next year and do it all online. Really! With free shipping and often no sales tax, you can really save some money. I realized, however, that Steve shops online just like he does in the stores....he has to see everything in EVERY store before he can make his purchase....often going back to the thing he saw first. You got to love him! He's my gift wrapper and I'm the bow maker. It's a good partnership.
On a side note, after 19 years after my divorce from Bill, we finally exchanged Christmas cards with he and Sherry this year. That's quite a milestone, I think. More than an olive branch...it's about a tree!
Guess I'm feeling sentimental today. Most folks are not in the office, since we have the next four days off, so it is unusually quiet. I could be getting so much work done, yet you see what I'm doing! Mailed my package to Chris and Rachel this morning, hoping it gets to them before Christmas. It was a bit hard to do, I admit.
Christmas cards also go in the mail today. We tried to cut the list down this year, but ended up adding others so the list is about the same! I love them. I decided to send them to most of my clients at my practice for this year. I hope they appreciate that effort.
Steve and I leave at noon tomorrow for Wynne to spend the night with my parents. Then we are off the next day for Nashville to do some shopping and seeing a Garth Brooks concert. I'm sure Garth will be calling me up on stage, so I got a mani/pedi this weekend. haha. I've never seen him in concert, so I'm looking forward to it. We will get back just in time for Christmas Eve. Greg is going to house-sit for us. Then Mary Beth and Jon and two of my grand-puppies will be coming in on Christmas Eve. We are planning to go to the Candlelight Service at the New Life Church that we have started attending.
We are also planning to bring my computer into the family room and Skype with Rachel and Chris on Christmas morning--so we will be bringing them into the room with us for gifts opening and all!
Will take photos and add them from our trip this week. Until then, enjoy the holiday!
