we had our holiday party on saturday, and had a pretty good turnout. quite a few family and friends were able to come, and i am glad to see everyone who did make it. i had stomach cramps from 6-12 (intestinal cramps, not "those kinds"), so i didn't drink at all- and they felt ok if i was sitting, so i did not stand to chat. It was fun, and Remington was so tired from all the extra attention he slept most of the day yesterday as well!
Yesterday I bought some of the plastic stuff you put in the windows; our energy bill was super high last month, and we need new windows (most are original to the house, so from '61), but when its less than 30 out, it isn't a great time for that. So i got the stuff and Ry & i did most of the windows yesterday (all but the ones rem shoves his face into hard, as I figured he would rip the plastic). It may just be my mind, but it feels warmer already (and hopefully less energy loss). If i save more than $10 on our next bill, it paid for itself!
All the snow has melted here; it rained and was warm yesterday and this morning. :( forecasters are calling for dropped temperatures and hopefully snow on the horizon-- i wanna go snowboarding while i'm on break!
