Happy Holidays and all that jazz

I'm off work now until after Christmas! Hooray! A real vacation. It's been a while.

My first day off today was pretty good. Hung out with Jake in the morning, until he had to go to work at 11:30am and then I finished my christmas shopping. I just have a couple of things to do tomorrow, including mailing Maggie's Christmas present to her and getting a bigger bag to wrap a gift into. And then, I'm good to go. Super. :)

I'm also going to make the "Dirty Snowball" Candy/Cookies that I made for work a week or two ago and take them with us to GB. They were really really good. Basically, it's a package of oreo's, a package of cream cheese mixed together, formed into balls and coated with chocolate. They are really chocolatey. Just so we have treats, because Betsy did not make cookies. Of course, they have to start to move the day after christmas, so it makes sense that they would not have cookies to take with. :)

Schedule for the next several days:

Friday: Off all day, going to my Aunt and Uncle's house at 6:30
Saturday: Off to GB for the weekend
Monday (during the day): time not solid yet, but driving home to MKE again and possibly going to my Aunt and Uncle's business to see them and my cousin, his wife and their two kids. Depends on what time we leave and when we get back. Not sure what we are doing the rest of the night...
Tuesday: Christmas! I assume that we will be over at my parents for the day
Wednesday: Back to work... :(

I don't know that I look forward to all the running around, but at least we don't have to drive 800 miles in three days like 2005.

Currently watching Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America -- NOT the American version. I love this show. I LOVE Gordon Ramsay. He's so sweet.
