Yes .... it was chilly on Christmas .... and we had way too much food .... but then, we were expecting 16 people and 5 of them didn't show. So Tom and I have leftovers galore! The 5 who didn't show were all in one family ... and reports are that 4 of the 5 were sick so they decided not to infect us all ... which we appreciate!
Robbie is still in Hillsboro being spoiled rotten by his grandparents .... which I am sure he loves ... and they love even more. Christmas isn't quite the same without a kid around .... even though he is 18 .... he is still my baby.
Tom enjoyed opening his socks and underwear! Hey ... that is what he asked for ... and some new shoes .... all very boring! I think he was pleasantly surprised by the Nintendo DS and the BrainAge game I got for him. He has been missing his nightly games of Spider and whatever since his Dell Laptop started acting up on him. NOw he has something to play with ... and we had to go get a couple more games for it the next day!
I spent part of Tuesday and most of Wednesday trying to get my new iPod shuffle to work. It is a Waterproof iPod .... and the waterproofing makes the buttons very stiff, according to the paperwork ... so it took me awhile to figure it all out. I finally got music put on it and I think I have managed to get the waterproof headphones attached to my goggles .... now I just need to try it all out in the pool!! Sadly .... the pool is CLOSED!!! It is EMPTY! Yikes!! It is supposed to open on January 2nd or 3rd .... so we shall see how it goes then. I miss it!! I hope it opens on time.
I got my haircut yesterday .... really short .... a Pixie! I haven't had a pixie since the 60's .... but my Mom always claimed that it was the cutest haircut I ever had. My stylist wasn't too happy with my plan (she kept saying "It's Winter!!") ... but after she was done she was impressed! She thought it looked cute. Tom isn't too happy with it, I think .... but it will grow on him. I like the feel of it ... but need to wash it and mess with it myself .... we shall see. I'll do that later today.
I emailed Swillow and she claims no knowledge of my Blog or it's contents. Says she has never visited it. I emailed Lilaz and she was honest. We emailed back and forth and chatted a bit online. She does read my Blog and says that she never did ask me to stop contacting her. I could swear she did ... but if she is willing to communicate with me now, it's all good.
