I had a beautiful couple of holiday days.  It is the first time ever that DH and I had both Christmas eve day and Christmas day off together.  It was nice.  We had a big turkey dinner with all the trimmings on Christmas eve.  It was nice but we both have decided it is highly overrated.  All day to prepare and then exhausted you sit to eat and BAM! 10 minutes later it is all over, you push your fat bellies away from table and it is a done deal.  All that work for 10 minutes, then two weeks of left overs :)   So next years I think we will just do up some steaks on the barbie and then go to the beach.

In fact we eat left overs on Christmas day, turkey and buns and such and it was wonderful and that is exactly what we did, hit the beach.  It was great.

We got a Wii for Christmas, it was “our” gift to each other.  We had so much fun with it, but our muscles are sore from “playing tennis”  It really is quite the workout.  Very physical.

I also got a new digital camera which is what I really wanted, now I just have to figure out how to use it :)   So Santa really spoilt this old gal.  But the best gift I got was my son and DIL calling to tell me they are staying together, that they are not divorcing, they are going to work things out.  And the beautiful pictures of my granddaughter.

I am working a 16 hour shift again tonight, and then after I get off work, I am seeing the surgeon to set up a date for my surgery.  Not looking forward to that but it must be done and done as soon as I can get it done.  I am thinking the end of February beginning of March is when it will be done.  As much as I am dreading it, I am also looking forward to living a day without pain.  That would be nice for a change.

Well we are soon to be in 2008.  Wow, have you noticed how short the years have gotten now that we are older?  I something is screwy there, they cannot be 365 days long anymore.
