open the eyes of my heart Lord

The snow stopped after about twenty minutes this morning, but it's still very wintry and dark outside. I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed a little more this afternoon. We hung paper snowflakes from the ceiling in my department, so now it looks the same inside. :)

I am headachy and could really use a long winter's nap right now. I also want to try one of those gingerbread lattes from Starbucks before the season is over. I didn't get to go to Wednesday Lunch today because my conference call was extra-long, but then I took care of some things on my late lunch, so it worked out well. Plan B for Lion King: check. Gingerbread-boy cookie pan, part of the plan to impress boyfriend's parents: check. Fajita Stuffed Burrito: check. After last night, Christmas cards are also: check. Yay for getting things done.

Speaking of the boyfriend's parents, my mother apparently wants them to know how insane our family is, right off the bat. She bought special picture frames for my grandparents that have an audio thing, so you can record something. Her plan was to take a picture of our family in Santa hats, then sing carols into the picture frame. On Saturday night. While Evan's parents were there. I despaired of this to Evan, and he assured me we would go early to the house and help my mom take care of it beforehand. He's so sweet. I need to be less worried about making a good impression. Evan really has the easy side of this because my family already loves him. Oh well, I'm glad he's spared from the anxiety. :)

My sister comes home tomorrow. Yay!

Chill, girl. You have nothing to worry about! His parents will love you, too!!!!! If I had a son I'd be ECSTATIC if he was dating a girl like you! :)

Okay, that's scary to think of me having a grown man as a son.... lol Can't contemplate that anymore!!!!!

Freakiness. To imagine having a son about the age of the boyfriend I'd like to have is just TOO weird.

My mind scares me. ;)

I'm glad you were productive! How did you solve the Lion King thing?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Well, Em and Daniel didn't have their tickets either, and there were only two seats left, not together. So I called Evan and Em from the box office and we collectively decided that the four of us would just go another night, probably in January. Yay!

In the words of tingilya, "I you!"

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! You're so nice.

How are you and Maddie doing?

[chocomilkbanana.livejournal.com]

We're doin' alright.

I spoke with her father this morning. And the call/conversation went fairly well. I think it's just a lot of gettin' used to things on both ends and trying to make do with the situation at hand. And most importantly, doing it for Maddie and not out of selfish hurt.

I hope that makes sense.

Do you and Evan have big New Year's plans?

Santa hats and singing carols! That's adorable! What a neat Christmas gift.
