As you know, my computer cord broke today so I have to write REALLY fast. I only have 7% battery left. Jesse took my computer and charger in to Geek Squad for me and they figured out that the big square part of the charger is what's broke. They said that as long as my computer is less than a year old that Apple warranty would replace the charger. After I called Apple Care, they told me to take it to make computer and charger to the place in the mall and they would get me set up with a replacement. Luckily, Jesse was still in town so he did that for me too. It'll be 7-10 business days before I get the new one so that bites but at least this happened while I'm on break. When I come to your place on Christmas Day, I'll probably borrow your charger to get this baby up to 100% while I wait.
Yesterday was a lot of fun, thank you for coming to spend time with us and for all the gifts! And this morning was nice too. You and Grandma were snuggled in the spare bed and invited me to plop my butt right in the middle. After that, we made some coffee, had toast, and got to chat a bit more before you guys had to take off. I always enjoy having company over, but this morning was especially special! I wish the day could've lasted longer. Let's do it again soon. =)
Alright I am down to 3% so I'm going to wrap up. I'll have to write from my iPad tomorrow, which is never fun! I had to do that a couple times last year and for whatever reason, Blogger doesn't work well with the iPad. I work tonight from 5:00-close . . . hopefully it'll be busy so I can make some moolah! Then tomorrow early afternoon I'll head home to spend Christmas Eve with Dad, Bigboy and Skittles. It'll be nice to relax!
I was able to get my kitty pictures uploaded while I was writing so I have to show you a few of the ones I took yesterday. The first one is of Booboo chewing on her gift, the second is when I attempted to put in the Santa hat, and the third is of Grayboy when I was wrapping gifts. He found the ribbon/bow container to be super comfortable. He's naughty but the picture is adorable. I wish I had some of Peanut but he's a chicken butt and wouldn't come out.
Hope you have a good rest of your day today!!
Love you most!

Dear Rah,
I also really enjoyed last night and it was fun to wake up this morning and crowd into Gram's bed. We used to do this when we were kids, then you kids would pile in, and now we are all grown up, still doing the same thing! When I saw her light on this morning, I knew she was up and away I went.
I am really tired tonight. I did not sleep well the night before last, and last night, well your cat is NAUGHTY! Grey Boy knocks everything off your counter until the last thing plops to the floor. Then when nobody gets up, he chases after Snickers. She screeches and whines! They are really quite awful. When I sleep in the spare bedroom, I don't really notice their chaos, but I wanted Grams to have a good nights sleep and we went to bed late.
I had a tough time getting to sleep last night! FRENCH PRESS COFFEE IS LIKE A QUADRUPLE SHOT OF EXPRESSO AND I WAS BUZZZZZED! It is amazing coffee, but better for the morning. Grams had a tough time sleeping too and I am thinking that just might be the culprit! UFF!
The roads home today were pretty good until Climax. I hit black ice at Crookston on the back roads. It was pretty hairy and I really hate it when you really do not know how bad things are. Tonight it is snowing again! REALLY!????? I thought the only "CHANCE" of snow was yesterday, and weather person newsflash, yesterday is OVER! I would really like to be wrong at my job all the time and still get paid! I guess they really are not God therefore they are just guessing. The news is on and now there is snow off and on all week!!!! UFF!!!!!
On the way home I went and saw Sharon Davidson's headstone which just came in and was placed by her grave. It is very beautiful and fitting for their family. I cried a bit as I really do miss her. Last year on Christmas Day, I was riding with Kim and her grandma to visit Sharon. I never dreamt that day that two days later she would breathe her last breath. You and Bunky had to come and pick me up so I could get home that day. I wonder if the two of you know how very much that meant to me as it was totally an inconvenience, and yet, it meant tons to me!
Last Christmas, Sharon was worried about the kid's Christmas gifts. She had purchased BOSE radios for Keven, Corey, and Kim. She called me, told me where they were, assigned a color for each of them, and asked me to wrap them, label them, and bring them when I came. She wanted to see them open those gifts. It was truly a tender moment. I need to quit writing as I am in tears.
Sometimes I wonder why the holidays often bring so much loss for families. There have been several deaths lately and so many lives will forever be changed. Last year it seems as though it was the same thing. I wonder if the stress of this world just gets to be too much. Uff . . . sigh . . . I just better quit writing . . .
Have fun with Pops tomorrow night. Drive safely and I love you MOST!
Mom
