This morning, other than the sickness, I woke up very peaceful and content. I slept really well. And I didn't have to wake up early, to an alarm, or to work out. Triple yea!

I talked to a good friend, then visited my sibs and used their coffee grinder. Came back home to drink fabulous coffee and write my Christmas letter. It's the first time I've written one, and now I need to find some pictures to include with it.

I then mustered up the courage to hit Grape Road. The roads are still really bad from the recent snow & ice storm (and they're expecting more!), and of course they were filled with cars. So it took a long time to travel. I hit 4 stores in 1 plaza, only purchasing things at the first store. But it took care of 1 person's gift totally. And a big 1 for another couple. And I even treated myself to a little something for the apartment - aroma sticks, cinnamon scented oil, and a ceramic vase. I've been thinking of these for awhile, and it was 50% off. Yea!

I hurried home (ya know, at about 20mph) and changed clothes, then went over to Jen & Andy's for their Christmas Open House Party. It was very nice. Their place looked great, as always, and the food was wonderful too! Nice to visit with friends there as well!

Today is my parents' 33rd anniversary. My dad somehow knew exactly what my mom wanted to do to celebrate. Dinner Theatre at the Roundbarn seeing It's a Wonderful Life on stage. Awww, isn't that sweet?!

Well, even though I'm not feeling tired, I need to rest so I'll head to bed with a book, and no doubt I'll be out soon enough.

I still have to get a couple more small gifts for a couple more people. Sigh... And I was planning on buying light this year. What happened??
