When was the last time you rose, victorious, like a phoenix from the ashes?

Anyone can be burned, crushed, consumed. But not everyone chooses to rise. Grace is the air that turns our cinders to ashes and our ashes to wings. Rise. Then rise again.

Christmas Eve and Christmas

Same old same old.  Nothing new to tell.  Christmas Eve was spent over at my parents.  We always cook a bunch of snack foods and eat them in the evening as a party.  We watched part of "How to Train Your Dragon."  I filled the stockings and then left for the night.

Christmas morning I headed back over to my folks.  It wasn't all that great.  Dad was in a bad mood which put me in a bad mood.  Grandma threw up which ruined everything for everyone as we paused for an hour cleaning the mess up.  Yes, it did take that long when you have a 5 foot 3 165 pound baby to clean up.  Things got better afterwards except the house was so hot and whenever I tried to turn the fan on my Grandma would yell about it being too cold and so it would be shut off again.  Sigh.

Christmas lunch came after opening presents.  It was good.  I packed a little bit for later and then headed back home.

I didn't get anything surprising for Christmas.  I knew exactly what was what which was a bit disappointing.  And my brother didn't get me anything which was hurtful.  I hate when people do one present to count for both my birthday and Christmas.  All in all, not a spectacular Christmas, but then, when is it ever.

For Christmas I got a

  • Standing KitchenAid Mixer and some attachments for it.
  • Christmas China - Plates, Bowls, Cups, and Appetizer plates.
  • Rechargeable Batteries
  • A Smurf Oranament
  • Crayons and a Strawberry Shortcake Coloring Book
  • Tinker Bell Sandwich Bags
  • $50
  • A Book about Stationary and Decorations with Paper 
  • Small Hello Kitty Plush Toy
  • Cherry purse with matching wallet
 Now that Christmas is over, I'm really starting to panic about work.  I have a lot to get done by the end of this month and I'm starting to stress if I can get it all done.
