I have been up for a while now. My biological mother and one of my younger brothers stopped by to visit with mom and I. I am going to spend the rest of the morning and afternoon puttering around before I go to work tonight. Hopefully I can finish another scarf for Christmas today.
We celebrated Nikolaus and went to our local christmasmarket with our little One.Had some nice food and dd rode in a carousel with daddy for the first time. It was sweet and fun.
Taking a bath (posting naked yeah!!!) and dreading having to paint a room this afternoon. I'm going to install a hardwood floor in there next week, so I had to rip out the carpet and moldings yesterday.
I also might sit down and draw up some plans for some furniture I intend to build.
Coffee and the paper. Finishing the Christmas decorating. Grocery shopping and then after dinner, football game watching! The church of football, yeah baby.
Shock Top was on sale for less than a $1/botte in the 12 pack. So it's on ice, waiting for noon time here, so I can have it with chips and dip.
Then I'll pass out in a delightful alcoholic haze, but get up around dusk and have a second one!
You may laugh at what a kitty cat (chosen to replace a banned word) I am when it comes to alcohol, but being a cheap drunk is a blessing in the long run.
I fixed some minor items around the house, went to Walmart to get something for lunches at work. It was 26 degrees last night, but now in early afternoon it's up to 60. Kentucky weather can be strange, especially in winter. Now I'm wondering whether to mow my shaggy lawn one more time! I'm out of beer, but would have to drive 22 miles to Lexington to get it. They don't sell beer on Sunday in this county, because Jesus.
Worked on my paper about the suicide-intermountain west phenomenon and reaching some interesting conclusions. Now I have to work on my "scrapbook" for social psych, detailing various concepts like the availability heuristic and cognitive dissonance. Making chicken cordon bleu for dinner because BF requested it the other night. Apparently it isn't made with bleu cheese. :)
A family of two teens and two parents came to test drive my car. They decided to buy it. That is exciting, but sad too. I've had this car for 8 1/2 years. I am getting a spankin' brand new car in two weeks, though! It's hard for me to get rid of the old and welcome the new, even when I know it's time for a change.
I photographed a very nice non-sectarian wedding. It took place in a small but pretty church building in a state park. Total absence of mind control was obvious.
Haven't slept much. Dogs took over the bed, but I couldn't sleep anyway.
Went to breakfast with boyfriend, shopping, then I had to work. Ran out of work, so did decorating. Then went to the movie with Julia Roberts. Kind of "interesting." They sure didn't make Julia or Nicole look too great.
And home to do the last of the work.
Next Sunday I'll be in the mormons favorite place and I love it, too, but is no longer my favorite place. Disneyland. Haven't been in 5 years. A record for me. I just had to get out of here and, yes, that is where I picked to go.
