Almost X-mas

Only 5 more days to go till the big day. I was in town this morning and lots of people were headed to the mall. I'm sure they were trying to get some great deals. Seems like all the stores are having huge sales this weekend. I haven't even started shopping and I don't think I'm going to do any. I'm alittle bah humbug this year.

My boy got his staples out this morning. He did really good for the vet. He only flinched and squirmed a couple of times. I, however, didn't do so well. I didn't have breakfast and we were looking at the incision and discussing the surgery and everything started to go gray. The vet tech got me a cup of water and a cookie. That did the trick. I was quite embarassed, but they seem to be used to it at the vet's office.

We got about 7-8 inches of snow yesterday. It was an overwhelming amount of snow in a very short time. They are still clearing the roads today. We are suppose to get another 2-4 between tonight and tomorrow. It is definitely going to be a white christmas this year.

We bought a new fish tank the other day. We have a few fish that are pregnant. We want the babies to survive, so we are creating a maternity ward. We've got a couple babies already, but they are living with the feeder fish right now. One of the moms moved into a conch shell. We suspect there are babies in there because she doesn't come out except to grab a piece or two of food.

We are on the final push at work. I went in today, but I had the dog with me and one of my co-workers is terrified of dogs, so I had to leave. Needless to say, I have to go in tomorrow because the boss wants everything done by Tuesday at the latest. I'm sure that is because he wants to go to NJ to be with his family for the holiday. Its gonna be a few late nights at work, unfortunately. I can't wait to get this crap done.

I hope to get some sewing done this week. President Bush made the day after Christmas a federal holiday (for this year), so us federal employees get a 4 day weekend. I can't wait to have a few days off without having to worry about work stuff.
