time for some zzz's

Well hopefully you all remembered to 'fall' back your clocks today. I got to enjoy the extra hour awake...try as I might, I can't sleep. I've been busy researching online for new digital camera. The one I've had for almost 5 years already, I gave back to Mom and Shelley to use for their ebay extravaganza. It will be great for that. I'm excited to get one a little more updated and with some xtra bells and whistles. Then I can get back into my role as the family shutterbug! :)

Flash is staying up with me, or staying with me I should say. He's curled up in a little ball snuggled up against me here on the couch. Dukey gave up waiting for me to go to bed and is upstairs sawing logs with Jason. Jason was tired out from driving truck, hauling fertilizer, all day. He normally doesn't get called in to drive truck, but the guy who has been doing it had a son die of cancer yesterday...so for that we can't complain about getting called in.

Last night we went to Jason's mom and dad's for supper. She (Sue-Jason's mom) made a big pot of chili and homemade bread to go with it. I got a good recipe for taco salad from Judy and made that to share with everyone too. The purpose of our get together was to draw names for their family Christmas. We started that 3 years ago already and for them it works really great. They have some family friends and extended family that like to participate so we have a 'big' gift that is just between Jason's immediate family and a 'little' gift which is between the extended family and friends. On xmas eve we will get together and exchange the 'little' gift which we set at $25 dollars, and then on Christmas day we do the 'big' $75 dollar present. This seems like alot but really when you compare it to buying for about 18 ppl, it's a bargain. This also makes the shopping alot less stressful because we can get a wish list from the ppl we have to get ideas for what everyone wants. He has 2 nephews but we all usually just get them a little somthing besides the names we've drawn.

Who would have guessed in the middle of the night they play the Jefferson's. I haven't seen this show in a coons age! This morning I rented Blades of Glory on OnDemand. It's got Will Farell and then the guy who played Napoleon Bonaparte. It's hilarious. It's about 2 professional ice skater guys who are enemies and get kicked out of single skating competitions for fighting each other, so they team up and compete as the first male/male ice skating team. It is so funny. I didn't get to see the end of it yet...hopefully I will get a chance to watch it all tommorrow. One of these days I would like to try the Charles City theatre. People at work tell me they come all the way here to see a movie because they are 2 dollars to get in and always good movies.

That's gonna have to do it for me tonight...I'm all out of news. Have a good Sunday everyone, enjoy your extra hour!! XOX OXOXOX
