i took a vacation day today to go to Courtney however, Poppa said it wasn't a good time and January would be better. we decided that i would still have the day off so we could get the rest of our Christmas shopping done because in the next few weeks we're gonna be busy!
starting this weekend we have the parties to go to on the following days:
sun dec 5
thurs dec 9
fri dec 10
sat dec 11
sun dec 12 (2 of them)
thurs dec 16
sun dec 19
tues dec 21
fly to ontario for vacation dec 22!! yay
crazy!!!
so with that in mind, we are going to use this as a much needed day of rest prior to the apparent busyness that is impending.
Ok, now for the countdowns:
2 months 21 days til Baby Salmon's due date
22 days til Christmas
19 days til vacation (12 work days :) )
oh, we heard a really interesting thing about Christmas carol origins on the radio last night:
God rest you merry, Gentlemen actually means (in the Olde English) God make you mighty, Gentlemen which makes sense since the song goes on to say let nothing dismay you. anyway, interesting factoid from Dennis Rainey: An Angel's Song
peace on earth
