What to say, what to say

Patience can be a virtue. I have been waiting for my permanent computer to come in at work. We get refurbished ones from sales when they trade up. But due to high demand I got a brand spank'n new one. It has that new computer smell. Even I have to admit it's pretty darn sweet.

I realized that I didn't' get anything for the hubster for Christmas, but then I remembered he already bought his gift this summer:

He got an air compressor

He's blown up, and out more things around the house than I thought possible. Did you know you can use an air compressor to clean out your gutters?

He tried scrubbing down the porch and blow drying it. That didn't work so hot.

But all the cars got their tires inflated, as did the wheel barrows and yard carts. And the boat trailer tires. And the exercise ball I have.

He used it for a few other things but I can't remember what that was.

But I feel bad that there is nothing under the tree for him.

One of the girls I work with I made a bracelet for. She was wearing lime green and black today with a blue bracelet. She said she loved it so much she didn't care if it matched. Awwwwwww

Saturday it might snow, it might not. We might get a big storm, we might not. Apparently the computer simulated models are arguing. So my plan?: a good book, some music on the stereo, a warm blanket, and a puppy. And that's it. Just relax, and unwind. And not worry about a thing. Just enjoy whatever nature tosses at us.
Sunday I think I meet up with Nettie and we have a girls day.
Monday? Gift wrapping.
Tuesday? Family day. And a great deal of alcohol consumption. And I think I will go into a ham coma. I love ham. Ummmmm Hammmmm
How will you spend your holiday weekend?

OK, Al is really jealous that your hubby has an air compressor and he doesn't.

They can't decide how much snow we'll get, either. I like your plan for the day. I wish my hubby would do that. It starts snowing, and he's standing out there, just waiting with the snow blower. We really need to teach this man how to relax.

You should really have something for your husband, Newt.

Maybe wrap yourself up and lay under the tree come Christmas morning?

I'm scanning and counting to see if this is a TT, and even if it isn't, happy Thursday.

Perhaps you can make hot cocoa and pancakes on Christmas morning for your hubster. =o)

You can always go the sweet and kind of cheesy route and make him "coupons" (good for one backrub, good for a snuggle, etc.).
As for the weekend, with the impending "Storm of the Century" (or not), we're hitting the store for supplies, then baking Christmas cookies all weekend. We may watch a few movies too, cuz hey, "White Christmas" isn't going to watch itself ya know.
