i feel like im still waiting for christmas. it wasnt the same as last year. i dont live at home, so i didnt get to soak up the christmas spirit at my moms house. just the jingle bells and rudolph songs they played at work and my lovely display of a 4 ft fiber optic christmas tree and christmas lights in my bay window. i didnt do as much as i would have liked to this year, but i did more than i could afford. i was glad to see my grandmother and enjoyed the time i spent with her. im really glad dad liked his ipod nano we bought him and mom liked her yankee candle of mandarian cranberry scent. and the girls like everything i get them. beanie even got a stocking this year. too bad his had more stuff in it then mine did. i had a really good time. i was extrememly over tired, but i had a good time. this year was my first christmas with ben and i really enjoyed it. hes all i really wanted for christmas anyway. im really happy. the new year is coming soon. of course i have to work that night. because nobody else in my department will do it. only until 9, but i still would have liked to spent the entire night with ben. i bet we'll have a good time anyway. pops retirement party is new years night. im excited for him. and a little sad that i wont be working with him anymore. ill really miss it. ill probably still look for him every time i pass electronics. its become a 20 year habit. im sure it will be a little hard to break. i hope i can do as well as he did. things are good. congrats bri and jen for you know what for. ill try to keep up in here a little more often.
