Merry Christmas

last night was our company Christmas party. we had a good time, and i'm really glad that Troy was able to make the party. with his job, i never know if/when he'll be around, so we just kinda roll with it. he was driving from lousville, ky, to jacksonville, fl - with a stop at bahama breeze in kennesaw, ga. good times. this is the first year which our company has invited spouses to the party, so that makes it ever sweeter that Troy was able to make the party. from the gift exchange, i ended up with some boxer shorts and some fireworks. that explains the type of people i work with.

 

i'm looking forward to having a few days off from work during the holidays. and i'm looking forward to spending some time with our kids too. for Christmas, michael wants fishing and hunting stuff, and alex wants legos and a gerbil. they are all boy - through and through!

 

looking forward to cheryl gapp getting into town this afternoon. tomorrow we have another party - the mixed nuts party at denise and steven's house. i'm thinking our company party should have been called 'mixed nuts' but instead it was just a Christmas fandango. you may need to talk to troy about any extra-curricular happenings at the party last night. i'm not telling.

 

i work with some really great people. our boss has chosen amazing people to work for him. we all get along great, which is a rarity with a company our size. and i can't say enough about how much i respect and appreciate our boss, Ron. he and his wife, Cathy, are top notch.

busyness and randomness*

life has just flown by the last couple of weeks. not sure where the time has gone, but it's definitely the holiday season. even the cold weather indicates the holidays are near.

random thoughts crossing my head:

*if i could change the color of my office, what would i want to change it to? i'm thinking i like the color of my clothes today. olive green shoes with aqua piping, black long sleeve t-shirt under a burgundy t-shirt. i'm thinking i would find something with those four colors. guess you could say i definitely pipe to my own bagpipe.

troy has gone to miami again. i say again because this is about his fifth trip down there in three weeks. that's a ton of driving. i was able to ride with him last friday. let's just say that i couldn't stay up that long. about 5 am i shut down, climb into the sleeper and click off like a light. next thing i knew it was 10 am and the trailer was unloaded. good times. i like my normal schedule of waking up at 6.48 am.
