Christmas '08

Awesome. That is the best way to describe our Chritmas this year. Well, maybe blessed beyond measure is better. Ok. Awesomly blessed beyond measure. Got it. Anyhow, it was good. Mck got home and got warm after learning about cold in Minneapolis. There were some 70* days while she was here. Jamie had time off to spend with all of us. And Rick was even around for most things. Michael, Jamie's fiancee, spent some time with us and got to know the family a little better. He still plans to marry into the family. Because of his going into the navy palns, the wedding date is a bit iffy.

I got a 22 rifle for Christmas, and yes, I did ask for it. The weather was super nice Chritmas Day so we ditched our tradition of going to the movie and went shooting instead. Mcki had never shot a gun, and Jamie only a few times. Mck was better with my pistols, a 45 and a 380. Jamie was better with the rifle. The very first thing I aimed at with my rifle, I hit. Booyah!!!!

Jamie, Rick and Mcki are all back at work. Our dryer died so I went shopping for that yesterday. The new washer and dryer arrive this week. Then I ate sugar cookies and fudge and took a nap. THEN I went to Curves. Today, Rick took all the cookies to work. There are a few things I have absolutley no control over and no desire to have control over. One of those is my appetite for my special sugar cookies.

The decorations are coming down slowly but surely with a lot of dusting going on. Hey, some of those places may not get dusted again for a year. I'm taking my time and doing it right. Now I'm gonna take a shower and go to Curves. I have a lot of cookies to work at not becoming permanent on my body.
