Oh the weather outside....

Well it it still snowing as it has been for most of the day. I love having snow on the ground. Shawn and Tara never get snow down in sunny San Diego. I am also exstatic that I had the day off and got payed for it, along with Monday. 2006 is on its way out the door and soon will be just a memory. I hope that it was good to you. For the most part I can't complain. Thanks for stopping in.

That's a cup of coffee!!I sure enjoyed it!!

I enjoyed them.....

I just finished Shadow Divers and I was thoroughly pleased. You should take a look at it, you won't be be dissapointed!

I continued on with the book below. It is a "local" book of sorts. Yet the little that I have read so far has totally got me hook, lined and sinkered.

On another note....The white stuff came and visited us again this evening and as always I have a huge grin on my face. I sure do love how the sky appears at night when it is snowing. Enjoy!

Wrap up or Unwrap...

Christmas went well for me. I hope it was for you as well. It was filled with the traditional practices of eating in abundance, spending time with family and friends, and of course giving gifts. I managed to give gifts to all of my immediate family even though I really had to stretch a few dollars.

Yesterday was filled with atrip up to Durango and the surrounding areas. There is a fair amount of snow north of Durango. I love the snow and it sure was a welcome site!! I am hoping that I can go and play in it soon.

I also went and saw the movie, "Night at the Museum", I enjoyed it and definitely recommend it. Also a trip to Durango is not complete without a trip to Steamworks for some excellent food and brew.

I hope all of you are enjoying your week so far. My work week just started today and it is over tomorrow. Drop me a comment and let me know how things are going for all of you.

Hmm, I hope I pass....

Today I received a small package from a friend. It was wrapped in heavy brown paper. Upon removing the paper I was surprised to see the box that lay before me. I have not opened it yet,, mainly because I need to contact my friend the sender and ask if it is okay to open early. I will also have to ask what nature of specimen they want provided!


What would you think if you received a box like this?

Round and Round

That's the feeling that I am constantly having.

Well it is done. I am no longer at the joyous job I have had since early February upon returning from Seattle. I am starting at a new place on Tuesday. I am anxious as to how this turns out. Time will tell.

Well we are on the downward spiral into Christmas. I have a few more things to pick up tomorrow on my day off. I am dreading to see how bad town is going to be. However before we know it, this holiday season will be just another memory. I wish you all a joyous weekend and wonderful time with your families.

I have to send out a special Merry Christmas greeting to Matt who is over in Iraq somewhere. I wish all the personnel there the same. Matt is the only one I know personally though. I hope that Diana, Jack and Nick are doing okay and have a happy one, even without their soldier at home with them. I also hope that Matt completes his miles goal on his bike before his deployment ends.
******************************************************************
How could I forget! My cousin Damian is also in the middle east somewhere this holiday season. He is on deployment aboard the USS Eisenhower aka "Ike". I hope all is going well for him as well.

To You

Happy Birthday Maigh!!! I hope that she had a wonderful one and that she is enjoying her sabbattical.

Well it snowed for most of the day but none of it has stuck. I am pretty sure though that with the temps dropping this evening that we will have a decent amount on the ground come morning time.

I am really hoping that we have a white Christmas here! It is quickly approaching and I couldn't be happier. I still have a few presents to pick up. I plan on settling that issue tomorrow. I hope that all of you are in the holiday spirit and that you have gotten your shopping done.

If you are traveling, becareful out there on the roads and I pray that you arrive safely. I also pray that you will not forget about the men and women of the military and the sacrifices they have endured for our freedom.
