Joyfully yours- Sounds like a great way to spend the holiday by yourself!!!

Brent- Happy Birthday to your mom!!!! Glad you had a fun the last couple of days.

MerryCarey- Enjoy your day off tomorrow!!!

Bradmac- Can't wait to see pics of the nativity!!!

Star- Stay safe in all of that snow!!!

Jennifer- Still praying for your mom. For fluffier chocolate chip cookies, look for a recipe that uses butter and shortening.

Snowflake- Hope you are having a great time making cookies, buddy!!!! It looks like the Packers still have a shot here!!!! (Well maybe not after that first down conversion) (Interception!!! They have a shot again) xx

I'm still on my way to clean the kitchen for you!!! You know how this darn Chicago traffic is though!!!!

It was a great comeback!!!! I can't believe they pulled it off.
 
We found another lost dog this afternoon. Or I should say he found us. This little guy had his nose pressed up against my storm door, he was looking right at me and my husband. How crazy is that? My heart sank when I saw him, I picked him up and brought him inside. No collar, no tags. I decided to walk him up and down the blocks in my neighborhood. Thankfully it didn't take too long for the owner to find us. The woman said he gets out from under the fence. Well then maybe it would be a good idea to do something about that! Grrrr. Anyway, I'm happy they were reunited and he was safe and sound. He was a sweet adorable dog.

Busy day here. Started the day with my BIL wrecking his car. There is a reason they tell you to slow down in the snow. He was late for work though and was flying down the street and couldn't stop. So he went up and over the center part of the roundabout and bent up the entire suspension. You have to hold the steering wheel at almost 90 degree's to get the car to go straight. At least he wasn't hurt and didn't hit anyone else. So after i checked the car out, it was off to the funeral home. It was good to see some old friends but that's not how I wanted to do it. Then it was off to lunch with my sister and niece's and then off to the train. It was a lot of fun. Santa was really good and took time to visit with each kid and then sat down for photo's. He even led everyone in a bunch of Christmas songs. (note to self, we need to listen to frosty more often) Mrs. Claus though, well she must have been tired after baking everyone cookies because she just kind of walked through the train and didn't really do anything. The kids didn't care though. They were all hyped up and going crazy. After the train ride we stopped and did some shopping and then went to dinner. Then it was home to do some wrapping while listening to the greasy skillet and watching White Christmas.

Glad to hear your BIL wasn't hurt.

We did the Polar Express train ride 5 years ago, it was such a great time.

What a sweetheart!! He knew where to find the compassionate people to help him get back home. Bless your hearts!

It is frustrating that the dog parents don't make an effort to keep their dogs safe :(

Good morning everyone!

I have finally returned. Busy day yesterday, too! On Friday, I witnessed The Barenaked Ladies live in concert with the National Arts Centre Orchestra. It was fantastic. Even without Steven Page, who left the band in 2009, BNL was fantastic! Obviously, they couldn't quite play all their songs due to Page's unmistakeable voice, but they played many of my favourites...and of course Christmas songs! My only real complain about the performance was that there was often too much time between songs. They were funny, but they could have gotten about three or four more songs in if they had some quick transitions.

Oh well. It was still worth my $60. Great show. We had fantastic seats in the balcony, too. I'd love to share photos, but the NAC has a strict no photography policy. I decided to obey it. I will cherish the memories forever. Really hoping that I'll be able to see them again soon!

As for yesterday, I went to see the Los Angeles Kings at the Ottawa Senators here at the Canadian Tire Centre. I waited to the last minute to get tickets, which seems to be the very best idea. I managed to get two tickets in a suite for $50. Of course, the game was very entertaining, too. The Kings scored twice in the first four minutes and won 5-2! It was great to see my favourite team play - and win - live! There were lots of other Kings fans there, too. It's always great to see everyone break out their Kings jerseys!

Well, it's a big day for football today. The Packers need another win. We'll see how they fare against the Cowboys in Dallas. Until then, I have a few things to do...

Today is my mom's birthday. Hard to believe she's already closing in on her late 50s. She's also flying home from Fort Myers, Florida today... so, I hope it's a great day for her.. I'm sure she'll enjoy arriving home safe and sound. I will be seeing her in a mere four days, too, as I return home for Christmas on Thursday night. Anyway, I look forward to her calling me as soon as she gets home! I haven't really spoken with her since she left 10 days ago. I'm sure she'll have some good stories.

Time for breakfast. Have a great Sunday, everyone! Only 10 days remain until our favourite day of the year. Merry Christmas!

Happy B-Day to your Mom!!!
 
Good evening,

Starting to wind down for the night getting ready to watch the Bengals game.
I shovelled out the driveway, we only got about 5-6 inches of snow.
I made my wife a red velvet cake for her birthday, and a calzone for dinner. We spent the afternoon watching Arthur Christmas.
back to work early tomorrow, only 8 more working days until I am on vacation.

Have a good night, all.
 
Goodnight, friends!!
