Holiday Recap

Had a nice Christmas. Pretty low key, but that is how we like it around here. Got a few nice gifts...a couple sportcoats, pants, a book, a calendar...mostly "functional" items.

We went to a couple after Christmas sales Friday. The mall was insane, but I did grab a $4 pair of slippers at Herbergers, and later picked up holiday cards for next season at World Market for about $4 a box...not bad.

It was an interesting week with a puppy running around...my sister's combined birthday and Christmas gift was a dog. She's had him since Mid-Nov, and he is cute as hell...sure keeps us on our toes though, especially with the cats. They are happy he has gone back to his home so they can have the run of the house again.

Two more days in 2008...where did the year go?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone out there in the blogosphere!

No Internet=Annoying

I've determined this week just how annoying it is not to have internet and email access when you expect to. Ours has been on and off since Sunday night and we are unsure of the problem despite a visit from the Comcast guy.

It is amazing how dependent upon it I am in my daily life.

Happy Holidays...From the Coal Industry?

Hard to believe it has been more than a month since I have blogged. I seem to be in a sort of funk lately and lacking motivation to write. I think I need to get back to it, however.

Can't believe it is the middle of December already! I spent a good deal of time the last couple of days writing and sending off Holiday greetings to folks. It seems everyone is getting into the spirit--including America's coal industry. I'm not entirely sure what their advertising people were smoking when they came up with this, which I happened to see on last night's Rachel Maddow Show.
