Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas. It is snowing! It was snowing when we woke this morning and a few hours later, it is still snowing. Everything is white and gorgeous.
We have been partying for weeks. Work parties, family parties, having people here, and going to friends' houses. Now, the un-fun begins......packing away all the Christmas decorations. I think I will leave the decorations up another week just to enjoy the lights.
Tide Guy is off work for a week and plans to get the drop ceiling started or maybe completed in the basement industrial side. He got a big tool box/organizer for Christmas, a Lowe's gift card, and has bought some supplies to complete the project. Once that project is done, we'll start on the floor, then we should be able to get the organization going.
Gas prices are now back up to $2.89/gallon. Ugh.
So, on with the day of fun, eating, visiting, and playing!!
Merry Christmas!

Not Much to Say.....
I haven't posted anything in a while. There really hasn't been too much to say. My Bama team ended the regular season 9-3. Not bad, but the 3 losses were games we should/could have won. Now, Bama is headed to Orlando to the Capital One bowl. As of right now, we are not planning to go. We may change our minds later.
Gas prices soared to $2.89 for a while, but gratefully have dropped back down to $2.79 or so.
Tide Guy's program at work is barely hanging on. Job hunting is not fun at this time. There is a chance his program will hang on and start back soon. There are several factors and statements that seem positive and the new congress could help.
Christmas is just around the corner. So close I can almost see it. I need to finish shopping and I hope to complete my list today.
I just had a friend visit this week. We were friends in Okinawa and I have not seen her since June of 2004. She and her husband were visiting family close by. They have recently moved and are now about 7 hours by car from me. I see a road trip in my future.
News on China adoptions? Well, we completed our home study. We also had our fingerprints done. When we received our appointments for the fingerprints, Tide Guys was at 3 pm one day and mine was 8 am the next morning. Really? Seriously? Of course, there is no phone number to see if it was possible that I could have mine done at the same time. So, I went with him with hopes they would slide me in during his appointment and not have to make the 3 hour round trip the next morning. Luckily, they did. We received notice that our fingerprints have been accepted and we are now good for another 18 months.
So what have we been doing? Here is a short list: Carrie Underwood concert, tailgating in Tuscaloosa, all Bama home games, Bama games in Columbia, SC, and Knoxville, TN, Styx concert, local basketball games, Heart concert, met Verne Lundquist in SC, started some work on the basement, etc.
Merry Christmas!
