Well, Christmas is over… well, almost. I still have another family gathering on the 27th, tomorrow.
Um, just a quick low-down, cause I’m extremely tired.

24th - went to candelight service at church, G sang “O Holy Night” in it. I’m so proud of her, she has such a beautiful voice. Then from there we went to China Buffet for dinner. Funny thing, I’ve never eaten “out” on Christmas Eve like that before. I had to change E’s diaper on the nasty bathroom floor because there was no changing table and let me just say that he HAD to be changed. So I laid him on a blanket, it was the best I could do. The food wasn’t that great, I would have preferred Lam’s, but it was good.
Then we went to mom and dad’s for more “stuff.” R got us a hermit crab. I love him. :-) Already today we went out and spent like $42 on him hehe. M got me a pillow and a battery powered massager, G got me some pajama pants, M2 got both of us some black and white film and three matching picture frames, Mom and Dad got Steve some kind of saw thing and me an electric gridle and Elijah got a giant snowman (R), toy turtle that he absolutely loves (G & M), some outfits etc (Mom and Dad). I also got some nice earrings and a camera tripod. Steve got Toby Keith’s new cd and he wants to listen to it constantly. I think there’s more, but I’m so tired I can’t think.

25th - we stayed home. I cleaned lol.

26th - we left E with Sheila and went shopping for some things we really needed. Since Steve got an extra big check this week because of the prevailing wage and got to pick it up early because of Christmas, we decided this was appropriate. That’s how we spent so much on the hermit crab. He needed a whole new habitat. The one he came with was pretty dang small. So now he has a 10 gallon acquarium to himself, hehe. Next week I plan to get another one though, I read that they live in colonies in the wild.
Steve ended up getting two pairs of jeans, a pair of boots, some socks, and various piddly things and I went for two pairs of shoes (buy one get one half off, hehe, much needed), socks, jacket/coat (considered my present from Grandpa and V, since it’s the giftcard from them that bought it), some Victoria’s Secret.
The coat - it’s jean with what Sheila calls dog hair on the collar and wrists, I can’t remember the breed she said right now… It was over half off and when I went in, I didn’t know what to get with my gift card and I saw that coat, and they actually had one in my size, so I went for it. I like it. :-) Then the VS - I’d swipped this coupon thing from my mom from the gift from G&V that she’d gotten and if I spent $45 I got $10 off and a free gift. So yeah we did that. I spent $36-something and got over $70 worth of stuff, so that was cool.

Um, I am working on a new cool layout for this thing. Well, not totally my idea, but hey, I still gotta make it work hehe.

Um anyway, enough boring you….
Gonna go now cause I am beat and have yet another big day tomorrow. Hopefully after the 1st, things will calm down for a while. No, let’s make that after the 3rd, after L’s baby shower…. ah, no the 10th, after I have that thingy here at the house… no, the 17th after Wired starts back up. Arg.
