Holiday wishes & catch-up
By Audrey | December 24, 2007
Don’t you just looooove my super sized santa hat?
Sadly this is the only Santa hat I brought with me on my trip out to visit the in-laws (I have 4 cuz I’m spirited like that) and the damn thing is so heavy it keeps sliding off my head!
I have a pretty crappy internet connection out here so I haven’t been able to much other than keep the site updated. I could kick myself for leaving the peek-a-boo cam pointed into my office rather than finding a way to rig it up so I could check on my pet cockatiel, or at least somewhere where I could make sure the place wasn’t broken into, but I’m going to have to assume all is well since the computer is still there anyway. The weather out here in the midwest is very good for reminding me why I moved to sunnier climes, after a few days in this I am absolutely determined that I will NEVER live anywhere that gets this cold again!
I’ve had very little time to myself and now that it’s Christmas eve, except for the next hour or so, most every hour of the rest of my trip is spoken for. Today is ‘visiting’ day, where HeavyB and I will wander around town catching up with various of his friends from childhood and family members he doesn’t get to see much. I’ve also of course got a couple last minute things to pick up and gifts to wrap. I am also hoping to take an hour in the midst of this and maybe take some snow pictures, though I have to say for the most part, there isn’t much pretty snow around me and I might get too cold and wimp out since it’s not been all that picturesque. We’ll see - playing that part by ear.
I have to say though I am damn excited for tomorrow and feeling a little shallow about it because it does appear that my in-laws will be spoiling us absolutely rotten in the gift department this year. I grew up not having much for Christmas - never destitute but never spoiled either, but his family does the holidays up in an orgy of consumerism which used to actually make me a little uncomfortable. This year, since I’ve been frustrated at not being able to work at all while I’m here and stressing about the blow to my income, I’ve decided to embrace it and enjoy the GETTING.
Speaking of GETTING, members get this sweet holiday set from me today and a new video tomorrow - I certainly hope they help warm up your holidays!
Oh, by the way…my outgoing email hasn’t been working since I got here. I am going to try again to fix it today but since I haven’t had any come in that were really urgent, just know that I’ve written some emails but they are sitting in my outbox still trying to escape. :) I’ll be home on Thursday and doing the rest of my catch up then, since the internet here is annoying me so.
Anyway, I am pretty sure I have nothing else interesting to say so I’ll just leave you with a Merry Christmas and hope everyone has a lovely holiday season whatever and however you do it up. Holiday hugs to all!
