Where have I been?  Working my little hiney off.  Didn’t get home until 11:45 on Friday night, worked 2 hours on Saturday.  Cleaned out the girls closets Saturday.  Went to Scott’s gm’s Christmas dinner Sunday night.  Worked 10 hours yesterday.  Watched Disk 4 of The Office Season 2 last night.  And here I am working again.  Having D&D and J&W over tonight for a Christmas dinner.

I have to comment on one The Office that cracked me up…on Conflict Resolution when Michael made Dwight and Jim go through all of his complaints and they get to them where he said he hit his head.  And then Jim’s explanation of how he did that with the coins in the phone.  That was SO funny I was laughing hysterically by myself.  And of course Season 2 finale…poor Jim…he CRIED.  I so want them to be together except you wouldn’t have any of that fun tension between them…like after he told her he liked her.

So me and Emma are going to the Christmas musical tonight at D’s church.  She had some ILs back out and we are filling in.  So me and Emma get a night out to ourselves.  Scott is going to stay home with Lex tonight while we go.  And I heard they are serving mile-high chocolate cake as dessert–yummy!

So Scott’s Christmas party was pretty fun.  Almost his whole shift was there and we all sat together.  We’re almost all near the same age and all married so it was nice to get to talk to everyone again.  It was good I think that we all met at J’s house for dinner a few weeks ago so it wasn’t terribly awkward.  The good news of the night is that before we left, I got our family Christmas picture.  Heather took it before we left and both girls had a huge grin on their face.  No pretty Christmas dresses on them but I was able to crop it so you couldn’t really tell and I think it turned out pretty darn cute.  From the party, we ended up with a $10 Wal-Mart card.  We had a $25 Olive Garden one that someone stole but I’m still happy.  I mean, who couldn’t use a WM gift card??
