There is a lot of people sick around here, too. Yikes.

Hope you & your family stay healthy, sugar.

And that work goes well tonight-and that you can catch up on sleep tomorrow!

Xmas- I tried to talk every member of my family into buying me that Santa and no one would!!!! I may have to go see if any of the stores around here still have it.

I believe my wife got it at Kohl's, if that helps at all. cheesy

Okay I just had to post one more thing because this is too funny!

Where we live we have two families of really large sand cranes on our property. They are on the endangered species list and protected by Florida laws. They stand about 4.5 to 6 feet tall depending on gender and age. Several of them were standing in the middle of the road in front of our house. I'm outside on my back porch reading here and posting, but can clearly see them.

I just watched a van pull up to them, put on his brakes and come to a complete stop. They are not skiddish at all and generally move when they're good and ready. He sits there honking his horn repeatedly trying to get them to move. Two of them amble slowly off to the side of the road. The driver gets out of the van and yells at the top of his lungs at the other two. "GO ON!! GET OUTTA HERE!!"

These cranes mate for life and have been here for years now. My MIL named this particular couple Elvis and Priscilla. LOL Elvis is very tall and his size can be intimidating if you're not used to them. This driver is making broad gestures trying to get them to move. I yelled out, "Hey!! I wouldn't do that if I were you! Just go around them!!"

Keep in mind... these are large birds. Think Ostrich mentality. Far more cognitive than your average bird. That "fight or flight," instinct is more just "fight or... yeah let's just go with fight again."

The guy completely dismissed me and just keeps yelling and waving his arms. Stepped one step too close to Priscilla and Elvis' massive wings spread wide. He has about an 8 to 9 foot wingspan. Then that huge beak opened up, he lunged and his bellowing cackle-cry echoed off the houses and canal. You can hear those things with the TV on loud and all windows closed. If you're outside near them it makes you want to cover your ears and the vibration hits that decibal that causes nausea.

Elvis flapped one time, went airborn vertically up, hovered and came back down, looming over the man and standing in front of him wings spread. The driver covered his head with both arms, ducked, peered out from between his arms and they were just staring at each other, face to face.

One last roar from the crane and the man just paused for a nano second, screamed like a little girl and ran for his vehicle. He threw it in reverse and backed up down the road!!! LMBO ROFL That was great!!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well not a whole lot of luck shopping. Either the stores didn't order as much this year or the bargain hunters were out in strength the past couple of days. I only found one Santa that I liked and 7 rolls of wrapping paper. I couldn't even find cards. Usually I can get them at 75 or 90% off.

I noticed there really wasn't much leftovers this year. Kinda depressing. :-?

I have a blueberry baked French toast casserole put together in the fridge ready to make for breakfast.
We had a great family game night and now I am going to bed.
Goodnight everyone!

I'm going to turn in soon, I'm so tired. My friends father passed away and we went to the wake this evening. My heart goes out to them, especially his wife. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in a few months. It's so sad!
I will catch up here tomorrow. See you in the morning.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Hope this finds everyone getting back into the swing of things! We have been busy here with ballgames and wifey getting back to work. Things are going to slow down tomorrow for a bit, then pick right back up on Monday. We will both work Monday and be off Tuesday and Wednesday before going back to work Thursday. It has been fun being home with the baby and it's not over yet...so I'm going to enjoy the next few days.


I haven't been able to read a lot the past few days, so I hope all is good! See y'all tomorrow!
