Christmas Eve

Since it's Christmas Eve today we only worked half a day. We have tomorrow off and i requested Friday off as well s0 i'm gonna get some well deserved time off.

We weren't able to make it to the valley this christmas but maybe next weekend. our docket this christmas is full because we have tickets to go see CATS on saturday and we have maggie scheduled for the vet that day too.

her comp exam was due in november and since they closed the vet in the petsmart around here we have to take her to one that's a little further away so we had to put it for a weekend. one of the booster shots that she needs triggered an allergic reaction the first time so had it so now everytime she needs it we have to leave her for the day so they can keep her under observation. we pick her up in the afternoon.

we wanted to go see the transyberian orchestra next weekend but we waited too long to decide and there weren't any good tickets left so, there.....nickelback is not until april but cheech and chong are gonna be at the majestic in march. tickets go on sale jan 9 so i think we're going to that one.

i have the rest of the day until 5 oclock to myself so i'm listening to handel's messiah. i only have the cd and not the packaging so i couldn't remember which cd went first since the cds aren't numbered so i just popped in any and i lucked out. man, that brings back memories of my years in choir when all the city high schools would get together to perform that piece during christmas at that big church downtown, that was cool. i'm surprised some of the songs are familar after all these years. Right now it's "for unto us a child is born". cool.

talked to mary a little while ago, she called me while making some last minute shopping. they're getting together at her place tonight. too bad we can't be there. yeah, right, i'm glad we couldn't be there because otherwise we'd have to come back tomorrow because joel has to work friday and i just hate traveling on christmas day like we did last year. that totally sucked. we'll go another time and drop off the presents.

i have my assignment due on jan 4 and i really need to get started, time's ticking away. maybe this weekend. yeah right.
