Christmas in my household went great. We did stockings on Christmas Eve, a fun tradition I stole from my close friend/ex-boyfriend. They were a blast. Of course, the cat got one too, the spoiled little brat! He now has even more toys than any one cat should have, but they did seem to be a big hit!
Our stockings for each other came out great. Got a lot of nice things. The funniest thing is that we got each other the same exact style back massager!
Christmas morning was a lot of fun too! We opened our presents in our pajamas like little kids! It was great! My big gift was a down comforter, duvet cover, and bed skirt! We both loved the comforter at Lake Opechee Inn and Spa that it is the perfect gift. His big gift was basically everything he needed to get started drawing. Of course, the cat got presents under the tree as well! His favorite is a tunnel I got on an awesome sale at Petsmart. I don't think Hobo knew what to do with so many presents!
After presents and breakfast, we headed up to Maine to visit with his family. His mom and dad (and dog) were up from NC, so it was really nice to see them. We got to enjoy a white Christmas as the predicted "snow showers" turned into a full blown snow. When we left, there were a couple inches on the road. It was a great test for the Fiat. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it handled in the snow! It was my first time with a stick shift in the snow as well. Both of us did very well and made it home without incident.
Yesterday was really nice, his parents came down to our place. We went out to lunch at Red Hook Brewery. Very yummy food. Unfortunately I had to bail early and go drive a school bus...there was a tournament and as vacation work is so rare, I took it, not realized that it interfered with my plans. Oh well, I got 5 hours or so of pay, and all I did was read my Kindle Touch the whole time. Plus I got to show his parents my bus and what I do for work. When I got home we enjoyed delicious home made pizza (one of my favorite meals ever). Apart from freezing in the bus, it was a good day.
Well, I guess it's back to reality today. Gotta go drive a bus again, same place, but earlier (lets hope for coming home in the daylight!). Hopefully I can have the rest of the week off and relax.
Amber drove a bus at night????
