Believe me, I know all about the lean Christmas seasons. We had a number of them when we were kids. The funny thing is, we never really knew at the time how lean it truly was. Our parents did a great job of "covering it up", so to speak.

My wife and I get a big kick out of the recent Lexus commericals, where one of the spouses gets the other one a brand-new Lexus for Christmas. Who does that? Nobody I know...

So, as a gag, my wife got me a little Dodge Viper remote-control car. So, now when people ask what she got me, she can say, "A brand new Dodge Viper! You know, just like the Lexus commercials show how easy it is!" LOL

Good morning one and all!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Mine was great, but exhausting! Santa brought Becky one of those horses on springs and she is riding the thing across the tile floors! LOL! She also got Lilo & Stitch, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, and a Sock-Em Bopper guy that yells stuff when you punch him. Have a mentioned what a tomboy my little girl is? Heheheheee..

Alyson got clothes mostly since she is still so young. But Santa remembered to bring her a crinkly alligator with a squeaker in the mouth. She beats him up brutally, so I think that means she likes him.

I'm so beat that I was over an hour late to work today. Spent all day yesterday visiting folks and cleaning up the mess at home, not to mention all the laundry that has piled up (and doubled due to the new clothing). Got everything done though and now it's just relaxation time. I don't have any plans for New Years, although Glen desperately wants to be out partying. I think I'll skip the festivities this year, stay home, let him go and stay out with his friends and if there is anyone up for chat, I can celebrate the arrival of 2003 with you!

Listen to me, jabbering on when there's breakfast to serve!

Piping hot and very strong coffee ready to go. Hot chocolate, tea and orange juice are on the table if you prefer. Mushroom, ham and cheese omelets are ready and I have some fresh French bread to make a sandwich if you like. A platter of bacon and sausage is on the right, next to the griddle with the hash browns in it. ENJOY!!

Hair - you got the Evenstar and the Precious! Lucky lucky! Remember, keep it secret, keep it safe. The Precious is sold out until March 2003, so it is rare indeed.

JenB - Christmas SPAM - tsk, tsk, tsk...Hair is keeping a tight leash on that in here and I've suffered the wrath already. :)

ItsOurTimeNow - congrats on the new job! May the New Year bring you plenty of new accounts and perm placements! And may your temps never have flat tires, dead batteries or stomach flus. *grin* P.S. Those Lexus commercials are soooo ridiculous, aren't they?

Sam Cree - I hope this post finds you safe and well on your holiday travels. Come home soon - we miss ya!

Corin - I figure you are very busy or out of town. Check in when you can. Did you get an axe for Christmas?
