Saturday Tripping

Today went well. We got up early, my wife earlier than I of course, and took Keira B with us to grocery shop. We still needed to get some Christmas stuff too so this trip may take us a while. KB and trips don’t usually go well depending on the time of day and her metabolism. Do you remember the snickers commercial with Aretha Franklin being a diva? Yes, KB.


However, on this trip she handled it extremely well. We put her in the car with a DVD to watch, Disney’s Princess and the Frog. She watched it both ways and was a great little girl. In the store, she was very nice: asking to get down from the cart and walking with us, shopping and being a big girl. She found a baby doll she wanted and held all around the store taking care of it and talking to it. I was very proud of her.

We came home and I made some of my home made potato soup, heated up some sausage balls I forgot to take for the office party and read the newspapers and magazines that had piled up through the busy week while my girls took a nap. They awoke and came down stairs and had their lunch and then we watched the Grinch who Stole Christmas, Jim Carey version.

After this, my wife and I headed out to find those elusive gifts that are still, well, eluding us. No luck. A couple that we did find were broke and that isn’t any good.

Back home now we began to munch on the Taco Bell we picked up on the way home and I found my wife’s favorite team on TV. A rarity she actually got to watch a hockey game of a team she liked: The San Jose Sharks. We watched that while we let the KB drift off asleep and then my wife looked a little drowsy as well so she headed to bed.

Now I sit here alone in the quiet watching Untold Stories of the ER, writing this blog and drinking my ice water. It’s pretty cold and I drink so much water I get full and stuffed and collapse on the couch drifting off watching my favorite boring shows. I need to watch a few shows to catch up but I also have a DVD from Netflix, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, I hope that it is good.

I got a great gift from my supervisors today and I plan on doing some damage at that store once I can make a trip there. BARGAIN CAVE HERE I COME!!!! You guys rock!

I just want to say thank you to my wonderful wife who makes Christmas wonderful and handles so much. Thank you my dear for great holidays and everydays because of what you do.

UPDATE:  Sorceror's Apprentice:  SUCKS, for lack of better words.  I found myself annoyed with the dialogue and the little rodent that played the boy.  His voice has to be a voice over for other Disney movies and I kept picturing him being this whiney little cartoon rat.  Next Movie!
