Did you get everything you desired?

I had a wonderful Christmas day. Spent with friends and family. Matt stayed the night. He had a couple of friends over on Christmas Eve. Yesterday some dear friends stopped by for dinner and games. So is anyone hitting the stores for some after Christmas sales? I plan to stay the day at home in the warm house. It is a cold and windy day here in LV and I am resting before the long week ahead. The decorators are beginning today and will busy getting ready for the BIG NYE parties in store.

Really?

A snow day in Las Vegas? Yes, schools closed. Well my side of town only saw a couple of inches other areas of Las Vegas experienced eight to ten inches of snow. A huge storm came in Wednesday - Thursday. The commute was crawl and the airport was practically shut down. There were quite a few flights that were diverted to LA.

Young love - too fast, too hard. What happens when one falls out of love? How do you comfort a young person? Why is the first love so hard to get over? Why do young people say "I'm not good enough for you - you deserve someone better." Though I may think this is true - how do you tell a young person that they are an amazing person and they have a lot to offer? How do you explain that people change especially at such a young age?

Are you ready for Christmas - me heck no, I will be finishing up this weekend. I still cannot believe we are in December - Winter is here next week.

The weekend

Yes - very thankful. Been a hectic week at work. The weather is quite nice today - a little chilly but beautiful blue skies. Which is good since Nolan has a soccer tournament this weekend.

So today looks crazy:
Allergy shots
Zumba class
Soccer game
take time for lunch
Soccer game

Rich's dad sent me a birthday card - so super nice of him. Rich just re-united with him last December. We have been so busy and I have been under the weather so we will celebrate next weekend.

what happened - it's December

Really what happened to November? Blinked and it was gone.

Been incredibly busy both at home and work. Where to start...

Nolan is doing an amazing job as the soccer captain - we are really proud of him. He has a tournament this weekend. Two games on Saturday and two on Sunday. Practice on Thursday and a league game on Monday and practice on Tuesday. The official title of soccer mom is very prominent.

Molli got me hooked on the Twilight series. So I read the first three books and I am working on the fourth. Before I went to see the movie, I read the reviews, listened to the radio shows - not very good so my expectations were not high - the movie was terrible. The acting was substandard and the special effects - they missed it completely - it could have been so much better - the potential was there.

Thanksgiving was spent with family and friends. Played Rock Band and some cards. My mother in-law joined us on Friday and went home today.

Work is crazy - my job never ends - there is never a slow period, in fact since occupancy is low we tend to have a lot of events planned to get players in during key times. So the week before Thanksgiving we had a five day shopping spree for our loyal customers. Next Monday and Tuesday a slot tournament, the following Sunday is a Drawing. Followed by a Poker tournament and then that leads us right to New Year's Eve.
