I barely made it through the holidays. We shot on Wednesday and Thursday and then went to a family party Thursday night with a million kids, OK it was only 8 but it sounded and felt like a million and one of the little virus infested creatures gave me a cold. I woke up super early on Friday and I wasn’t feeling hot but I had a dinner to put on so I shopped for food and finished wrapping gifts and then got on the road with the Escalade filled to the brim with presents and my two dogs and me and my husband’s luggage and oh yeah, that damn virus rode along quite happily in my lungs. Christmas Eve we went to Seal Beach with friends and family and then spent the night at my in-law’s. We woke up and opened up tons of gifts and then promptly loaded the Escalade back up along with the dogs and oh yeah, that virus was with me for the ride home. I then had to finish setting the table and got the food ready for my Christmas Dinner. The in-law’s and sister in law then spent the night with us so the guest rooms and bathrooms had to be all set up. The day after Christmas we had a big breakfast and then after cleaning that up I made lunch while watching football and then we all crashed on the couch to watch a movie. By the end of the night of the 26th I thought I was going to pass out. Me, Niquil, and my buddy virus went to bed. I didn’t wake up until noon today. Bah humbug. Actually, I am feeling a little better and even though I was sick, my Christmas went very well. The best thing was even though I was running around like crazy I would periodically check my email and so many of you out there sent me the kindest messages and wishes. You are the ones that put a smile on my face and made me appreciate the holiday 🙂
