First Day

of our last vacation of the year. We planned this right, a week vacation, then work a week, then we get several days off for Christmas and even a few days off for New Year's. Normally we only get New Year's Day off but this time we get the rest of the week as well. Can't beat that.

DH signed us up to bring a bunch of cookies to the Choir fellowship Friday. The cookies will be given to some foster kids that the Choir is buying gifts for this year. Isn't it nice of him to volunteer for me to do something? I think he should at least wash the dirty dishes. I could just buy cookies but then I like to bake cookies so I'll go ahead and make them, maybe a few extra for us.

Tomorrow we will have our Staff Christmas Party at work. Actually we're going to lunch at Olive Garden. Sounds good to me, I'll take a free meal anytime. We'll also get our Christmas bonus checks then too. That'll give us some spending money for the rest of the week.

It was pretty warm today, in the lower 70's but now we're getting a little rain. I hope we get a lot more. Tomorrow they're predicting snow flurries. I don't mind snow but freezing rain I can live without. But, freezing rain is usually what we get. As long as it doesn't interfere with our trip to Olive Garden.

Who is the man who desires life, and loves length of days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Psalm 35:12-14
