You know, I just don't have enough in my sidebar so now I've gone and added voice comments. I would love if you would leave me one. You have to create an account on Snapvine, but it's pretty easy (I mean, I did it) and it's free. And if you don't, you may still hear my happy little greeting here on the page. Do I sound like you thought I would? When I hear my voice, I always think it sounds much more... I don't know... nasally (?) than it does if you're inside my head. It sounds much lower and smarter inside my head. Anyway, I'd love to hear from you.Did everyone have a nice Christmas? I totally did. I went on this cleaning bonanza the weekend before, finishing it off the morning of the 24th. I also had to go and get another present for my mom that day too, but other than that there was no exceptional stress. I didn't bake or cook anything and I didn't send Christmas cards this year. I decided that doing those things would only add to the holiday by making me crazier instead of making me more joyous.My mom and sister came down on the 24th, but they went directly to Andrea's friend's house (where they were having dinner) without stopping here first so Sweetie and I didn't see them until we got home from the dinner we had at his sister's house. At his sister's house, there was her and her husband and their two kids, his other sister and her husband and their two kids, plus Sweetie's parents and the two of us. One of his sister's kids is getting to be just the age I love - 7 years old. And she and I were exchanging glances and smiling at each other about some of the crazy things one of the little ones was saying. Cute.I got to spend some quality time with my mom and Andrea later that night and we were together all day on Christmas. (By the way Mom and Andrea said, "Who cleaned the house? It's immaculate!") Our Christmas day dinner included me, Sweetie, my mom, my sister and Sweetie's parent at an Asian fusion restaurant. There were some issues with the food there - cold plates and some of the dishes not quite hot enough. Sweetie and I go to this restaurant a lot for take out, and it seems better at serving that than serving in house, especially for people like my mom and Sweetie's parents who like their food HOT. But it was still a good time because we always have fun talking and telling stories with Sweetie's parents.After we got back from dinner, I called GG (my friend from work) to wish him a merry Christmas. He answered the phone "Upsot?!" a reference to Barbra Streisand's version of Jingle Bells that we joke about, when he saw it was me calling. Then we chatted a bit about what we had been doing. I was glad I made an effort to call him because he sounded really happy to hear from me. I'm glad we're friends.Well, as you can see what I really like about holidays is time with loved ones. I hope everyone else in Blog Land had a nice time too.Labels: blogging, family, friends, holidays posted by Miss Rachel 12/30/2007 08:20:00 PM . . .
