CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY HO HO HUM, part 2




What else did I do these 4-1/2 days? For Christmas I attended my church's musical presentation followed by Midnight Christmas Mass returning home after 2 AM Christmas morning. My food choices for the long weekend involved ham, cheese & rye sandwiches, a shrimp ring, and other snack food, anything other than cooking.

The DVD Extended Version of LOTR: The Two Towers, aired three times, first as the movie, then twice more with the Director/Writer and then the Cast commentaries. That's committment; maybe next weekend I'll see LOTR: Return of the King.

I sorted all my financial papers; as the year unfolds, I toss all my bank and credit card statements, utility statements, charge and debit slips, and other financial papers in a plastic basket that I keep on one shelf on my bookcase and then sort it all out in front of late-December football. It works for me.

I semi-watched 6 football games, sorted other papers, printed 81 photos for my daily photo-letters to my Dad, taped and watched The Restaurant (running out of tape before the ending episodes which I originally missed, missing them again), watched three episodes of Celebrity Poker, ate too much, drank too little, and missed having chat time. I did not miss work.

I hope everyone had happy holidays, now please update your journals and get back into Nightly Chat.

Actually sounds pretty good. The calm before the next holiday. I have to admit, I thought your term for your financial record container is great. The Fin Bin. Hmmm, I might steal it. :-)
