jingle bells...


Thought for the day: If a two year old knocks a carrot from your hand, simply knock the carrot from his hand in retaliation. Right Jordan?

Went shopping by myself after church today. I was happily getting gas and enjoying the really cold air when I realized I had locked myself out of my car. I asked the station attendant if he had a phone and he was like yes -- and a phonebook!!!! Here it is -- Do you need the phonebook??? Ha.

Being too dumb to wait inside the station for arrival of the backup keys, I quickly got over my enjoyment of the frigid temps.

So, I went on my merry little way and popped into a shoe store. One of the clerks said he really liked my shoes, that they were really fun. How awkward is it for a guy to compliment pink shoes? I dunno, but my mind changed tracks when I realized I was clearly wearing one black sock and one bright blue one. No, usually it does not matter, only when you're in a shop of muckrakers.

Those people with their heads down to look at shoes.

It's getting harder and harder to prevent the small children from ripping into the presents. Lucky us, only three more days till we get to open them! Yes, that would be Christmas Eve. Leaving 4am on Christmas morning has its perks. :-)


For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
