Woot! (Oh don’t judge me, Merriam-Webster named that the word of the year so I am using it!) The end is near. Today is my last day of work until 2008. I am so excited. I love the last day. Nobody is really working. Most people are milling around munching on all the goodies that have been brought in. I feel like it’s the last day of school all over again. The only thing missing is a Christmas movie.
Tomorrow, B and I will head down to my parents house. I love Christmas on the farm. B gets a little anxious because he knows it means dial-up internet. Scary thought I know. If you don’t hear from me for a couple days it’s just because I am to impatient to try and use the internet. About the time I get a page to load, I am already bored and ready to shut down the computer.
I got to open my first Christmas present last night! B is a big kid around Christmas and he can’t wait to open gifts! I saw one of my gifts under the tree and it was obvious what it was. B doesn’t realize that James Avery’s wrapping paper is very distinctive, even if he tried to hide it by using a big bow. So B made me open the gift since I had figured it out anyway. It was a beautiful necklace with the letter M. I am so excited! I was just saying the other day how I never wear necklaces and I wish I did.
What are everyone’s plans for the holidays? I hope you get a long break! I am off work until January 2!

Isn’t that “last day at work” feeling wonderful! I am feeling that times ten…I’m only working Thursday and Friday of next week before going on on maternity leave. Granted, having an infant PROBABLY won’t be as relaxing as vacation on a farm, but hey, at least it’s not work. Have a great trip and here’s hoping the old dial-up isn’t TOO slow!
