The Final Countdown.

One helluva weekend.

Started off right with a sleet day on Friday. Super sweet. I needed a free three-day weekend from those jerks. Movies with the boys then down to see The Boy at his place of work for a holiday par-tay, complete with Keeram eating everything with chocolate.

Saturday, after grading papers, it was off to McGowan's for the December version of the potluck. It rocked! Complete with super cute children, extra good food, and the desire to eat! Massive props to McC and the dip, Bol and the butter cake, and Sara & Casey's role as my leg warmers.

Today was spent at Arundel Mills shopping for Raymond's parentals and trying to get some odds and ends taken care of. Sheesh. I've never had so many problems getting stuff for holidays!

Note to self: What would be the ultimate Christmas/New Year's story? gift? event? What can I expect this year compared to the CRAZINESS of last year's flights, lost luggage, trips, and peeps met? =P
