I'm Fine and I had a Nice Christmas

I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay incase any of you heard about the tragedy that happened recently in a nearby town and were worried about me.

I had a lovely Christmas with Steve's family and I'm now the proud owner of new toasty slippers and both "Glee" season 1, part 1, albums. Yay!

Also in the, "YAY!" category: I was officially promoted today and my pay raise will be retroactive to when I started my new duties. Woohoo!

Happy New Year everyone!

Season's Greetings!

Happy Hanukah!

I hope you are all having a good holiday season so far. I spent Saturday night with my cousins Jonathan & Page; Jenny, her husband Jason, and their 18 month old Joslan; and David along with my Uncle Les & Amy and Aunt Marjorie. We had a lovely time talking, eating the yummy dinner (complete with Jonathan's latkes) that Page cooked, and lighting the Hanukah candles. That side of the family sends their love and holiday greetings to the rest of the family and hopes you are all well.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Yay! We got our first real snowstorm of the winter. 9 or so inches collected in our yard and Susan valiantly shoveled it off the most important parts. Our plow guy came a just the right time to get me to work on Wednesday and I, mostly, enjoyed the drive in because the snow looked so pretty. Sorry, I don't have pictures because I was focused on getting to work. Unfortunately, I still haven't tried out my snowboard because now the snow is covered with ice. Oh, well, maybe this weekend since it's supposed to be warmer.

I have a Snowboard!

Thanks to my cousin Jonathan's advice I am the proud, and excited, owner of a primo board. I got up early this morning and went to our local Lions' Club's Ski & Skate Sale. I was able to get a nice used board with really good bindings and boots for only $90. That's cheaper than renting a board and buying a lift ticket! It snowed all day today so I might even get to try it out tomorrow. Woo hoo! :)
