I think I may never eat again after today. I hate the holidays, lol. Tomorrow I'm getting back on track and am going to lose at least 5 pounds by my birthday. I'm hoping I didn't gain five pounds in the last few days! Anyhow, I had a pretty good week. I got an unexpected Christmas card from Daryl, the attorney I've blogged about who is a pilot and does karaoke. He included a $100 bill in the card. :o I was pretty shocked and very grateful. My boss gave me a $200 Macy's gift card. Not bad, eh? Can't wait to spend it but I can't decide whether to get one big thing (like the Uggs I've been wanting) or stretch it out into a few smaller items. Guess I'll just have to go figure it out in the store. *hop*
My family went to the 49er game today and my daughter won a signed helmet (autographed by Nate Clements)! Pretty cool! I was bummed for DS as he is a Redskins fan (oh, sorry for you too, Boo!) but it was a really fun game to watch.
My kids spent a few days last week in Quincy with my relatives there. The highlights were my son flipping the quad (got scraped up) ; building an 8 foot high snowman (pics to follow later) ; and my daughter getting a black eye after getting kicked in the face by a horse! Thank goodness they are home now.
So, what did you guys get for the holidays? Did we all gain weight or just me?

Jeez, time sure does fly by when you're busy, lol. Let's see, what have I been up to...
Huh. Can't think of much. On Thursday I went to a potluck lunch at the courthouse with my boss and Kelly. He was so cute showing me all around the place. Like a kid at Open House. I got to meet a bunch of the clerks and judges that we deal with, so that was neat. This Friday they're having an office lunch at some restaurant but I don't know where yet. Ack, I hope it's not Chinese or a buffet.
I've been walking almost every night with my friend Kristi. She's 24 and as much as I like her, she sure adds some drama in my life. I'm so glad I'm past that age, lol. Her boyfriend and his friends provide entertainment though because I had *no idea* how kids are these days. I'm so glad mine are still relatively young. I feel old when I'm over at her house, but at the same time, it's refreshing to be able to kick back and relax somewhere where I don't feel any judgment. I'm thought of as "the good one" over there. *grin* It's also close enough to my house that I can have a drink or two if I want because I usually walk over as opposed to driving.
It makes me curious though; do you usually hang with people your own age, older, or younger? Is there ever a point where you really feel the age difference? I think for me, I kinda like being with these kids because I never had friends like them when I was that age.
In holiday news, I guess I won't be going to Palm Springs to see my grandmother like I did last year. It just won't work out right now for her so I'm hoping to have my kids go to my aunt and uncle's house in Quincy so I can have a break. ;-)
Who here is staying home and who is traveling for the holiday?

Drive by post...
Hey guys! Been insanely busy with things around here and I have barely had time to get online at all anymore. I still don't have access to most internet sites at work but my boss just realized that today and made a comment about changing that. Hopefully when we do get it fixed I'll be around more.
Work is going well - my boss has made comments to my dad that indicate he is really happy with me. In fact, his words were "she's the best hire I've ever made"...*blush*. He also said his wife feels the same way. Today he made comments to another lawyer that was there that he was "grooming me" and that I would be the last of his staff he would ever let go! I try hard to make him happy so it's these little comments that keep me focused. :)
I haven't been kayaking in weeks and I'm thinking maybe this weekend sometime if it's really "sunny" as the forecast says it will be. I think it said a high of 63. *crosses fingers*
I went to see Australia and Changeling recently...anyone seen those? Changeling was a rough one to watch and Australia was just ok, IMO. Would love some other opinions. Jess saw Twilight with my dad and wants me to go with her so she can see it again, so I might do that soon.
I'm hoping on Friday I'll be able to make the rounds and catch up with everyone here. I've been reading, just not logging in and commenting. Oh, and for the first time in ages I wandered into OT. Rather wish I hadn't. *sigh*
