Christmas Time

Well, the night is young and I'm ready for bed. Maggie's already sleeping on the couch, which is a bad thing. She's nearly impossible to wake up. Oh well. We got a Digital Video Recorder, which is like TiVo, but for Dish Net. It's pretty awesome being able to pause, rewind and never miss any show I want to see and it was all free thanks to autopay. All you have to do is be signed up with the top 100 or more and have autopay enabled for your account and you're set. So, we pause it every time we need to get up, then resume and watch till the commercial, at which point we just fast forward back to live mode or the show again. It's pretty cool. I recommend it.

So, it's Christmas time and Maggie and I are brainstorming about what to get everyone. It's not a huge deal, but there're just so many people. There's Mike, Leah, Cyndi, Mom, Dad, Maggie, Maggie's Mom and Dad, her nieces and nephews, and whoever we picked from the drawing. I drew Maggie's brother Jeremy, which is easy. So, pray for me that I don't rip out my hair, go into convulsions, and break down into shock trying to figure out what to get people. We're pretty good though. We've figured out what to get for about 20% of the people we have to shop for. Not bad, but 100% is ideal.

Best news of the week, we put up our Christmas lights. We didn't have enough strands however, so I need to make a trip back to Target insanity to find more. We went last night in search of more, but found nothing but pushy people and empty shelves. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. I just didn't feel up to it tonight. I don't take crowds well, especially rude crowds.
