I Got It!

I found the Wii, with no time to spare. Amazon.com had a Customer Vote section, and I was chosen to get a Wii at the last minute. It came today, and is already wrapped and under the tree. I was almost afraid to post this, but Alex never reads my blog. Just in case, I didn't take a picture of the wrapped box.
I wrapped what seemed like a thousand gifts, and have about ten more to go..I just couldn't bear to do one more.
Later. Peace

Live at the Improv!

Starring Andy Hawk on lead guitar! Truly, I am surprised that he let me record him at all..he usually stops playing.
We (me, Andy, Alex & mom) went Christmas shopping today, and Lori and Katie met us for lunch at Red Lobster. Overall, it was a good day. I bought Randy Alcorn's book "Heaven" today as a "to me, from me" gift. I can't wait to start reading it, but I have four Spanish lessons to do by Thursday, and I work Tuesday and Wednesday. Oh well, maybe I can read a book while they have a week off for Christmas break.

Morning Update

I thought I would quickly check in before leaving for work this morning. What a difference in weather! Last week it was 65 and sunny, now it is 18 degrees outside! I'm getting ready to go and start the truck to let it warm up....the poor truck is not getting any younger, you know.
Yesterday was so much colder, that the ground did its freezing-in-peaks thing. It makes it so hard for the horses to walk through certain areas, especially Sonny who has feet problems in front. It was so bad that he lost his balance and fell into the stock tank. He was so wet and cold that Alex and I brought the four horses who do not have babies into the barn(the three broodmares and their babies get the 3-stall run-in).
I also have to say "Happy Birthday" to Grandma Freda, who is 91 years young today!

**Update: I just got a call from work that I can stay home on-call...WooHoo! Now I can go wrap the water hydrant in the barn with the new heat tape, get the new stock tank heater into said stock tank, and get the heat lamps up in the garage for our house pipes.
