Post Christmas
Okay, I’m almost finished celebrating Christmas. I spent Christmas eve opening presents at my brother’s house, with brother, SIL,niece, Dad & Stepmom in attendance. I did fairly well with most of the presents. I found some really unique frames, a very soft teddy bear, great cd of jokes, and a book on how to knit. Other than spending time with family, which was great, I think that the best present that I received was the shawl. It’s purple, soft & very warm. It’s perfect for lounging around in, say when I’m updating my blog.
I spent some time with Dad & Kathy on Christmas morning & then drove home. I ate supper with Chris & his family. It was really good food but I was so tired that I ate & ran. It was better to eat & run than to fall asleep driving home.
My secret santa from that tatters’ group was Teresa W. She sent me some great stuff. I only hope that my partner enjoys what I sent her. Apparently it hasn’t arrived yet.
I still haven’t distributed the ornaments that I made for my neighbors. Ditto I didn’t mail out the ornaments, etc to former co-workers, etc. Julie P came by. Turns out she doesn’t work there anymore. She was just picking up her birthday present (which I think that I sent out in October). She gave me 2 great tatting books, some homemade raspberry jam and some bread. I can’t wait to dip into it.
Went to see Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Wow, they did a really great job. It’s been years since I’ve read the books but they definitely hit all the highlights. They even brought up a few things that I’d forgotten. I could go see it again, and I’m eagerly awaiting to see which movie they make next.
Some of the previews were interesting. At least one, I can’t wait to see it…when it comes on Spike TV. It’s called Benchwarmers & it’s a movie about baseball underdogs. It looks pretty stupid & pretty entertaining.
It’s almost 3 pm, I have the day off & the only things I’ve gotten done are to get my oil changed & to type up another session of Mutants & Masterminds notes. I only have 3 more sessions to type up (until Thursday, then I’ll have 4).
