Free at last! Christmas vacation has descended upon me - WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
On my way home from work, I played the Hallelujah chorus in my car. So it was off the Easter CD - who cares? Still applicable!
Last night I had a fun Christmas celebration. I dropped off some gifts to one of my friends' kids (the kiddos met me at the door with an eager "You brought presents!?!?!?") and thoroughly enjoyed watching them rip into the wrapping paper. They're still at an age where everything is exciting no matter what it is - and they were unwrapping boxes and starting on puzzles almost faster than their mom could help. It was a fun thing to watch.
Then we had a girls' night out - watching movies and eating Christmas cookies until after midnight. It was fun - I hadn't had an evening like that in a while. Of course when she left and I still had to crawl on the elliptical and exercise...well...not so much fun then. :) I've never really exercised at 1 in the morning before. Wouldn't recommend it.
Today I slept in (still only got a normal amount of sleep but when you start late, that pushes back the waking up time too) and spent most of the day doing my chores.
But tonight I had so much fun - I had Christmas with my friend Kari and then went with her to a Grey's Anatomy trivia party. It was so much fun! Trivia's a funny thing...even when you think you know a lot...you find out you aren't quite as smart as you want to be. For you fellow Grey's watchers out there...one of the questions I missed was Denny Duquette's time of death. I could see that whole scene in my mind. I could see Bailey telling the Chief "Denny Duquette died at ...." and then the scene went mute in my mind. I guessed 8:02. Turns out it was 7:42. Hey, I got the two! Another Denny question that I missed was the time difference on the organ transplant list between him and the person who ended up receiving the heart. I guessed 2 hours. (I vaguely remembered it wasn't long.) Correct answer? 17 seconds. What a bummer. For both of us. I did manage to remember which two interns held up the 65 pound tumor as the surgeons tried to remove it (Yang and O'Malley) and where Burke hid the apartment key when he gave it to Christina (bottom of the coffee cup). Isn't it weird what sticks in the mind?
So it was a fun night - and I gotta sign off because I have 10 more minutes of exercise to clock in before the day is done.
Only two more days!

Only two more days? I stopped at Best Buy around sunset to get a gift certificate for my son, but the line was enormous. I asked the greeter by the door what time they open tomorrow morning (8:00), and then I left. No way was I going to wait in that line.
One more shopping day left, and I haven't finished yet. That's so great you have yours all wrapped up, so to speak.
Do Janice and I need to come out there and help you out? ;)
I don't blame you for leaving Best Buy and trying later. Tomorrow I need to get a couple of things for Christmas dinner, and even if I have to pay twice as much to get them at a grocery store, I'll gladly do it. NO MORE WAL MART.
