I trust Santa found and was good to everyone, I know he was good to all of us this year, he manged to bring almost everything that was on my list this year. The one item that wasn’t under the tree this year (New Digital Camera), we got at a good deal on boxing day sale.

Here is a site that I go to for comparing and gathering information on the various camera’s out there this is the review on the C-740 Review of the C-740

So we have been expermenting with this new toy for the last couple of days, you can view some of the pictures at this location Photo Album and I will be uploading more as I get better at using this camera.

Well we are now having our first winter storm, we had rain for Christmas and now that its all over and its time to start taking the decorations DOWN the white stuff has decided to fall !! and not just a few flakes , no no we are getting pounded with 50 cm of the wonderful white stuff, and high winds so that its like a horrible hurrican like snow storm with the snow litterally swirling around in mini cyclones. WEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA

I have one more day off and then its back to the old grind for 3 days then off for another long weekend :>)

It will be sooooo hard to get back into the full work week after having 2 long weekends in a row off !!

Was Santa good to everyone? He was very good to us. I must have been extra good this year I got a beautiful bridal set and a nice Breadmaker :>)

and lots of other great gifts to numerous to mention   But I did get everything on my wish list.

And folks this is where sometimers (aka altimerze (sp?)) comes in, cause I forgot what I put on my wish list until I got opening presents!! and then it was like OMG yes I wanted that ,,, ohh yeah I guess that was on my list.. HAHA

I have to experiment with the new bread machine as well, I tried making a loaf today and it is very hard (think bowling ball) so I have done SOMETHING wrong I just don’t know what yet.

As a friend said to me in an email earlier,,, I figured out that the meaning of the word Christmas is It’s, CHRIST what a mess..

hahaha

Here’s hoping no one gets storm stayed in for toooo long. and stay safe and warm at home while mother nature has her hissy fit with this stormy weather!!!

Due to the increased amount of comment spaming that has been happening on WebBlogs these days I decided to turn on registered users only able to comment, sorry for any trouble this may cause but it is only one of the ways we have to prevent this from happening.

ONLY 5 MORE SLEEPS TILL CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!

Hope everyone is ready!! The malls are a nightmare right now!! good luck to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have to get out there and try to gift shop for christmas day!!!

Well its another busy weekend here at the millman household. Last night we had 16 friends and family gathered to help Donna Jean and I celebrate our birthdays we had great company and great food.  It was a nice evening for sure.

This past Wednesday was our anniversary we went out for dinner and then had a nice quiet evening in.

Tonight is another christmas party and tomorrow morning a good friend of mine is having a ladies neighborhood brunch.

I have almost all the christmas gifts that have to be delivered sent out to everyone , one more house to visit and that is done and then I just have to bring a few into work on Friday and I’m done.

I have decided this year not to take any vacation time off over the holidays so I have a few days to work between xmas and new years but its only 3 days so no big deal. I am saving my vacation time for when #1 son comes home for a visit in January or Feb. 

It will be a very different christmas around here without him. this is our first christmas without him and it just feels WRONG. but I guess we can’t complain tooo loud we have had 24 WITH him and it had to happen sometime.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  and hope no one has to brave the crazy malls between now and christmas!!!!

I have to one more time to help Karla finish up her shopping. 

I took a couple pictures of our tree and my homemade angels maybe if Wendell gets a chance he will post some pictures for me.
