I am back in my apartment. I was at my parents' home earlier today. Nothing else to do.

Waiting for supper to cook, yea for pumpkin pies!!! and dealing with a reported post.

Merry Christmas, GCers!!!!!!

Fams just hopped a plane to Vegas....will head back to the ManCave sooner or later.....or perhaps go see AVPR

just catching up with my normal wind-down evening activities, as i have to be at work tomorrow AM.

My parents are FINALLY here...time to eat some REAL food. Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas.....oooh...I hope we go see The Great Debaters tomorrowhttp://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/winking0047.gif....

Husband & I just got back from seeing the second national treasure movie. I'm relaxing here because I have to work tomorrow.

how was the movie? is it any good?

My son and I are at my parents house all full with every family member possible. Winding down the day and hiding out for some quietness before the pies come out of the oven.

Just got home from work, starting to relax-it was a busy holiday!

so i can delay packing even more...

...but i have done SOME packing.

This is ending a very quiet Christmas.
I already posted elsewhere about being alone this holiday because my family is in the midst of a melt down, there was no sane direction to head, other than to Wyoming, which was beyond my student budget.
But I am healthy and reasonably sane and making a second go at grad school after the first of the year.
Dinner? I thought finding a turkey sandwich to go would be easy to find at few restaurants open. Nope. they wanted me to buy a full dinner and I wasn't that hungry. Instead, I took off driving, passed a nearly full pizza parlor and ordered a small pizza, for home. Actually was a treat, I've been watching what I eat, resulting in me not looking like a blimp anymore.
Thanksgiving, my brother and I helped serve food at a shelter, so tonight, at least I'm indoors, warm, have my cat curled up in my lap, and not out on the streets, like some people.

Ate way too much. Just got back from a moonlight walk with my brother and niece. My parents are waking me early to go to the gym with the. It's always nice to run into people you went to high school with when you just rolled out of bed. :rolleyes:

Christmas Happy and Sad.

I am happy because this evening, on Christmas, my parents celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary. They were married at 7:00 pm on Christmas in 1952. I am so very grateful that I had the opportunity to celebrate their anniversary this evening :)

I am sad because yesterday, Christmas Eve, we buried my best friend's little brother Zach. He was 39 and passed away last Monday, we think from a heart attack. He leaves behind two young children, Riley and Landon 8 and 6 years old. Zach, his sister Rebecca and I all went to University together at Southwest Texas State University and he used to get after me all the time to get after my homework and study hard. I miss him very much.

I am glad for all of the GCers that I have gotten to know this last year and it has made an impact on me how important it is to tell people that I know and love how important they are to me. You are all important to me and I am thankful for all of you.

icelandelf, I am sorry for your loss

I am here because DH and his son are watching a movie I am not interested in watching

IcelandElf,
Please take comfort in knowing that many of your friends and family (near and extended) are thinking of you. It is so hard when someone so young is taken from us. My heart goes out to you.
