Wild, Wacky Wednesday

I admit it -- I'm guilty of overusing the phrase "I'm keeping busy with..." when I write e-mails to people telling them how I'm doing. One of the reasons is days like today. Here's what I did:

7:00 a.m. -- Dentist Appointment
8:00 a.m. -- Work
4:00 p.m. -- Guitar Lesson
4:30 p.m. -- Go to the post office
5:00 p.m. -- Go to church, practice, and set up for...
6:30 p.m. -- Church service
7:45 p.m. -- Go pick up my new suit (My 44L doesn't fit, so I bought a 40L! Yeah!)
8:30 p.m. -- Get home

So, yeah, I'm busy, but I try to enjoy every minute of it.

Speaking of enjoying every minute, Sunday's early Christmas party was a fun-filled event. The meal consisted of chicken, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, and corn bread from Boston Market. Yum. Dessert was Schwan's peppermint ice cream. Yum again. I took on the role of "Santa" for the gift opening, doing my best Uncle Nick impression each time I handed out a present. I'm thankful for every present I received.

I was worried that this event might take away from the splendor of the Christmas Eve gatherings we always hold at Grandma & Grandpa's place -- but looking back on it, I'm glad we spent some quality time with both my parents and grandparents. I'm still going to call sometime on Friday evening to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
