When I was off the computer we (me and the 'rents) looked at the paper. I don't know what it is but this year I don't see anything I would like to have for Christmas. This year it's just not interesting to me. Most things on my Christmas list are things that are every day types of things, no clothes, pajamas, or stuff like that. Maybe next year. I am going to go out and by the Hangover (maybe Tuesday?) - my brother and dad haven't seen it yet so that make for a good movie night sometime this week. We (dad did actually help) also figured out what we want to do for Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinners. I told mom that I will go with to buy some food (since they're on a tighter budget this year) and pitch in where need be.
I have the day off tomorrow and have a few major things on my list to do. I have to get Stryker a new dosage of pills. They are working quite well, his hair seems to be growing back more and more on his nose. I will take a picture of him soon to post. I REALLY want to finish my Christmas shopping tomorrow. I figured out that I am probably pretty much done with my brother and father, just have to finish up stuff with my mom. Dad and I are going to probably go to the PX tomorrow along with a trip to the hardware store. I know that he wants to look for some stuff for mom at the PX, and we have to get some hardware for my furniture. It may not be a bad idea to look for some stocking stuffers while we are there, too. Oh, and I have my first Charlie Company FRG coffee tomorrow!
The three days following that I am going to be working -- still hopefully short shifts -- with a day off on friday (my brother comes home wednesday - I think my dad wants me to be his shopping buddy so that he doesn't have to go out in all of the madness!). Then I have six straight eight hour days following that until Christmas. All closing shifts which, the week for Christmas, is 11:30. Yes, I work part time and I'm working 41 hours that week. Uck.
Things will start to settle down the closer we get to January, and I plan on getting the house situated some more. Then I have to plan for the Valentine's Day care package. I know, one thing at a time, but I'm keeping myself occupied for sure! Not to mention I plan on getting up at noon on Christmas, I think I'll need the extra sleep (unless Jesse calls me of course). My family normally just lounges around in their pajamas all day anyway. I am really excited about Christmas dinner because we're going to be doing crab legs. Jesse hates seafood so I thought it would be an opportune time!
Other than that, I will likely write more tomorrow. I need to get off my behind and get myself ready for work sometime here. It's a late one tonight - I work until 10:30 on a sunday night. I don't really understand that... Most people work monday through friday and have to get up early, right? Ugh, the holidays!
I will try and be more positive soon, lol.
