I'm so excited for the next few days off. Not so much for Christmas as for the days off. 2 whole weeks of only a 3 day work week will be heaven:) I came home the other night and Chris was so excited to show me that he had wrapped my Christmas gifts himself. I just found out that last year he bribed my sister into doing it. So I looked at them and WOW is all I can say. I guess that he couldn't find the regular tape so he taped it with movers tape...you know the tape that has the strings in it...So here on the nice Christmas wrap is yellow tape. But at least he did it right? He means well and I think it will be funny to see them under the tree and when people come over..since we don't have kids and that's what it looks like is a kid wrapped it.

I went to my mothers house yesterday to see my sister Shay she had knee surgery and I helped her take a bath and wash her hair. I know how that feels to want to take a bath so badly but need the help of someone else to do it. NOT FUN! After she was out of the tub I looked at my moms Christmas cards. Ever since I was little she has taped them to the back of the front door for the month of December. I saw my Christmas card and what was next to it but the EXACT same card only a different picture...I was a little miffed. I like to think that when I do something I will be the only one with that super cute card. But no here was my card sitting next to my sisters friends card with a floating head on it...Well actually it was Graydon's dads family Christmas card. And they had put Graydon in a black shirt and then sat him in between Jim (Greys dad) legs so it looked like Graydons head was floating in the pic. Which was funny but then how do you know who has the better card? Is it the floating head pic? Or the super cute of Chris and I above?? I think that the reason it bugs me so much is being the oldest of 4 girls nothing is ever really yours you share it. I don't like to share!! I know that sounds snotty of me but I don't. I remember 2 years ago we had a Christmas party for my mothers side of the family. Well I show up and mingle until the rest of my family gets there....Oh and here comes Cristy (the 3rd sister) in the SAME sweater as me. We looked like the freaking double mint twins. I just kept telling her that she was the fatter twin.

I cut my hair today cut it OFF!! it was down to the middle of my back. But my hair is soo thin it looked like string. Im so jealouse of woman that have a nice full head of hair. I have my dads hair super ooober thin. And as he gets older so does his hair. I just keep thinking OMG I dont want my hair to look like that when Im 55. Maybe I can find some kind of vitamin that will help. I need to start looking before all that is left on my head looks like fine kitty fur!
