Christmas 2009

Well, Christmas is almost here. La Dee Freaking Dah. Got almost all of our shopping done in one day. Saturday the 19th. Nothing like waiting for the last minute. It was really quite easy. Just got everyone gift cards this year since we have no idea what is on anyone's wish list. Christmas is for kids anyway.
Speaking of kids, the only real gifts we bought were for the 2 great-step-grandchildren, Nali and Madden. We got them the noisiest toys we could find. A toy electric guitar and a toy electric keyboard. That should drive their parents nuts!
Judy made me swear not to buy her anything this year. OK. Fine with me. But feel free to get me something. HA!
My wish list included a Bears Snuggie (which I already bought myself since the store was running out at the time and now they're completely out), the new Jimmy Buffett CD (which I'm sure I'll be getting), and beer. I'm pretty easy. Buy me anything with Bears or Cubs on it and I'm happy.
I have received a few gifts already. From the boss: a Bears desk clock (now if I can just figure out how to shut of the alarm. It keeps going off at 12:30 pm and I've lost the instructions!) From my sister: I think the Mickey Mouse ladle is for me, right? I haven't opened the box of chocolates yet. There's no name on it so I assume it's for me. Judy's gift from Sis has not been opened yet either. Even tho' the cats have tried. Also from work: they're lifting the wage freeze this year. Don't expect much tho'. I'm sure there's a cap. But it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

No Work Today!

There's about 12" of snow on the ground so they closed the plant today. YeeHaa!
Not that there's much to do around the house other than horse around on the internets.
Bad news tho'. I only have one beer in the fridge.
Good News: I'm on Darvocet (pain killers).
I had a wisdom tooth and a molar extracted yesterday. I'm in no real pain but the Darvocet is fun anyway!
