And in case I don't get back here for a few days, Saturday
Sounds like a busy weekend, and how cool that they get to go to the WH party!
Dinner was Chipotle last night
I've still never been to a Chipotle, not for any reason except I haven't...gonna have to try it sometime soon.
peppermint chocolate chip milk shakes at CFA.
I had one of these last night as well - they are good. But here is what I'm wondering...what if I went in and asked for chocolate peppermint shake? I wonder if they'd make it? Sounds like a experiment I need to undertake, you know - for Science
DS was told he is in remission.
Wonderful news! Oh you guys must be feeling good about this news! I hope the remainder of his recovery goes smoothly.
I'm not working, but I've found myself with so much running around to do and chores left to do for the holidays that I feel like I won't have a change to relax until after the 25th. It's self inflicted I'll readily admit, and not at all the same as working in healthcare but I am doing a little something this weekend so my SIL can have 24 hours to decompress (she works those 12 hour overnight nurse shifts) and taking my 6 year old niece so my SIL can have a break. We are the only family members around to help out and once in a while I can see she just needs a second to catch up/sleep/do something for herself.
On to the stocking stuffers and getting those sorted out.
I need to work on my stocking stuffers as well.
Mia had a nice party in the NICU.
Glad to see she is doing so well, hope she gets to go home soon.
Good morning everyone - happy Friday. Not much to report, nothing terribly exciting happening w/ me. On the road for work this afternoon, chicken for dinner. Tomorrow our niece is spending the night and she requested shrimp for dinner, so that is easy. Sunday we are headed out for a bit of Christmas shopping with her and at some point this weekend we need to get the tree out of storage and up...Dare I hope to get it decorated?!?! Hey - that reminds me, I have a Christmas question for those of you who are religiously minded. I listed to a conversation on the Catholic Channel yesterday, the topic of which is that the Baby Jesus ought not be placed in the creche until the actual holiday, to represent his birth. Some argued that since it was Advent it wasn't appropriate, others said it wasn't a Tradition or spelled out in the bible so live and let live. Others had no real opinion, but brought up the interesting point that if the baby isn't in there, then it's kinda silly to have "everyone else just hanging out looking at a creche like they have nothing else to do" . I just thought it was a interesting conversation, and something I'd never heard about (and have not knowledge on), but it would seem the nativity scene - at least to me - is a relatively newer tradition in the last 200 years or so(in the timeline of humanity in the last 2000 years that is), so maybe that is why there is the conversation in the Church community (or at least the Catholic) it is a representation of the holiday that has evolved and each community has there own take on it. Anyway, I just thought it was a interesting discussion on something I'd never heard about.
Off to Ladder Safety (or as I secretly call it, Don't be a *******) prep! Have a good morning everyone-
