Well, Rob, Mary Linda, and my Mom will arrive tomorrow about 1pm and DN/G Lauren, her Mom, and boyfriend will arrive about 3.  I have some food prep and clean up to do in the morning and Richard and I are going to open our presents from each other before the guests arrive.  Oh, and have a nice Christmas morning breakfast.  Guess I better get some sleep - 'night!

Darn, I was hoping DR Laura was here so I could ask her about a strange bird in our pond.  It is larger than a Robin & kind of puffy with long legs.  It floats on the water like a duck and dives for fish, in fact it caught a little fish.


I believe that would be the extra large, long-legged puffy robin.

From DR TCB:
Quote
Interesting story of a teacher near Middletown, Ohio, who was fired for staging "Legally Blonde: The Musical."

Odd if Grease was ok that this wasn't.  They might had simply requested to see the scripts from now on to say what was ok & what wasn't.



That quote did not come from me.

When I worked for Home Liquors in New Jersey, Christmas Eve was total insanity.  We couldn't restock the shelves fast enough to keep up with the crowds.  We had to have two off-duty police officers to direct the traffic, one at the street entrance and the other in the lot to keep the cars from crashing into each other.  I don't even remember now how high the sales total was for the day, but it was incredible.

I watched the Christmas Eve concert of the Morman Tabernacle Choir and now I am watching the Christmas concert from Luther College.  I guess I am trying to make up for not going to the Candlelight Service at church tonight.

So we did go to the candlelight service that ended after midnight - it was very nice -  the bell choir, the string choir, the brass choir and the traditional choir all gave wonderful performances - the sermon was lovely and I ma quite glad we were able to attend

Well, simply put it was the best Christmas Do ever for reasons I'll explain in the notes, which will probably go up a bit late.

I went to my parents' house and we had our gift exchange tonight.  I got some Cashew Roca from my sister, chocolate rocks from my cousin and his wife (they mailed their gifts...they may come up for New Year's eve), and a Costco gift card from my mom.  This was my "big" gift.  We exchanged names and she picked my name, so no one got too much and no one had to spend too much. 

We listened to Brent Barrett and Sandy Bainum's Christmas CDs! :D

However, my sister and niece and Larry, my sister's boyfriend, all went in together and bought my parents 40-inch hi-def TV!  They were surprised!  We got it all set up and everything works.  Larry got them a hi-def cable box (but not a DVR), so that they can thoroughly enjoy the hi-def experience.  Now, they just have to figure out what to do with their 32-inch CRT TV.

I am way behind, and it's too late to catch up.  Tonight I got a call from the cat sitter.  She was having problems with Callie (the first time went fine).  So, I told her to take the phone up to see if my voice helped.  Well, she bent down to get Callie and Boo flew across the bed and attacked her!!!   She has a cut by her eye.  Then Boo attacked Ricky (a fairly regular occurrence) and went in the other room.   I heard it all on the phone, screams, shrieks, howls, meows.  I think Alyce finally muted it, because it went silent for awhile then she  came back on and said she has a little cut by her eye, but she's ok.  She said that it was all over and she was standing by Boo and petting her and Boo was purring.   Sounds like Boo was just protecting Callie.  Anyway, we decided she shouldn't try again tonight and will try in the morning.  If she can't get Callie her meds, I'll be going home before dinner and a day early

If this doesn't work out very quickly,I'm going to have to board Callie at the vet in the future.  It's just too difficult to find anyone who can get her meds except me. So it's either never leave town or board her.

I'm really going to have to figure out what's up with Boo.   I may take her to the vet to make sure everything is ok.  At least I have someone who has worked with animals for 20 years there now.  Its not the sitter, it's my cats

In other news, we had a nice service at the church tonight.  I played my flute with one of the choir numbers and sang with the choir.  We got out right at midnight, which is fun, but it's below 0 here and that's way too cold to be outside at midnight

I'm still in a bit of shock over listening to the whole thing. I was screaming into the phone for Alyce who wasn't responding and I could hear screams.  It was really awful
