And if I didn't have to work today I wouldn't have gotten yet another great demonstration of how cool my family is. Mom & Meg brought me a lox & bagel sammich & OJ. Yum!

ETA: with onions which should help with the irritating guests... Hhhhello. Hhhhow may I hhhhelp you?.. only two more hours to go!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, all that jazz!

ND, sorry for the family suckage.

Laura, don't get your kids any birthday presents this coming year, and then explain to them why.

I was up at 6 am to answer the phone as a friend who had to work today had her car break down en route to work. My mission; go around to her house and find out why her husband wasn't answering his phone (it was off, I believe).

Present unwrapping is done. Now to flee to a party.

Yeah skipping Christmas is not really an option. Mom is not in stable health and I simply couldn't live with myself if the Christmas I skipped ended up being her last. I've already spent one Christmas with her in the hospital for open heart surgery.

So here I am year after year.

I'm on IM for a little while longer if you're up for chatting, ND.

ETA:

Presents have been opened. Everyone liked the gifts I got them.

Did they like the presents I got them?

My computer is tucked away in the other room at the moment charging and the chat client on my phone is acting up.

Ok. There is an outlet in there, right? I think we used it for our computers this fall.

Anyway. Since you're on the phone anyway, you probably didn't see my edit. Did they like the presents I got them?

Yes, they did. Mom is very excited about the new series of books and Dad was thrilled with both of his books.

Oh good. And your niece and sister?

Oatmeal:

My battery on the laptop is running low. I'll check in via phone in a bit. Hugs.

Yep. Neice loved the iPod so your gift certificate was very popular and Jen loved the Sirius radio system so you gift certificate went quite well as an addition to that as well.
