Weekend Update and a Thank You

[snogged]

I want to thank shakensilence for the very funny Christmas card that I received this weekend. *hugs*

In other news, my weekend was a blast. :D

+ Saturday morning, my family and I hopped on the tour bus around 9:30 (as White Christmas was an adventure put together by the tour office of the radio station my dad works for.) We hit up the Golden Corral for lunch, which was okay. I'm not really the biggest fan of buffets, actually (unless they feature Chinese food). I definitely enjoyed the okra and the skillet cornbread though. Nom. Nom. Nom.
From there, we headed to the theater and located our seats (which were in the balcony.) Although we were in the nosebleed section, I didn't have any trouble seeing the stage or the actors so I'd call that a win. There were definitely changes from the original film (such as the lack of Bing Crosby. *g*), but they weren't upsetting changes. With the exception of the fact that they didn't do the: "I Wish I Was Back In The Army" number. I will say the youngest cast member (I wager she was about 12) more than made up for it by selling the hell out of one of the new songs.

+Today, Nick and I went over to his mom's for Christmas and were joined by Nick's sister Julia and her three-month old daughter, Della. Sadly, Julia's husband couldn't make it but that's because he had to go up to Canada to get training on a new machine that his workplace will be bringing in.
I must say I got a very nice haul. Julia bought me a 14 piece Pyrex bake-ware set and gave Nick and I a set of ornaments made from recycled materials. Marty gave me a cute basket, a small plate shaped like an apple, and a journal with a mesmerizing black and silver cover. I also got a present from Nick's aunt Jane (who lives in Missouri so she mailed it up to Marty's house). It's this totally adorable dragonfly finger puppet that appears to be hand-made.

All in all, I'd call this weekend a good one. :)

It sounds like an excellent weekend!!!!

And no problem... I was going to send it with the scarf but then I realized that the scarf wasn't looking like it was going to be done in time for Christmas so I sent it out alone.

I loved the card you sent me... it was really cute.

We had people round for Christmas dinner too, but it was a little sour and ended with an argument between me and hubby. I really envy you your weekend.

Oh! Oh! Your Christmas Card came! Thank you so much honey!
