Merry Christmas!!! :)

It is Christmas morning, and I hope that everyone is enjoying a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I'm working today from 7am until 3pm (I may get off early), but I'm looking forward to tonight. I'm cooking Christmas dinner, and we're having Logan's dad and brother over. I hope everything goes well in preparing the food! I got a honey baked ham (from the store, haha) and making green beans, a salad and other yummy stuff. Is that a traditional Christmas dinner? I hope so. ;) I had a very nice Christmas Eve. Here's a little background before I get into why I had a nice one. Logan's family in years past made cookie plates and handed them out to their neighbors on Christmas Eve. I got to participate last year, and I loved it. It makes people so happy... which makes me happy. :) And last year, Logan and I brought some plates to some of our friends in town. I still really wanted to keep that tradition going because it is such a nice thing to do, and people really do appreciate it. So, on the 23rd and 24th, I made some goodies (cookies, brownies, and muffins), and after having dinner with his family, we went and handed out cookies to their neighbors and then drove around and gave them to some of our friends. I love traditions...... :)

So, yeah... at work this morning... It's funny, I was telling Logan that leading up to the time when I have to work on holidays is harder than actually working on the holiday. I try to bear that in mind every time. Like yesterday, I was like, "I really wish I didn't have to work tomorrow," but now that I'm here, I feel good. Everyone in the lobby is really cheerful, and that makes me feel good. It's really cute, I've heard people in their rooms this morning going, "YAAAAAAAAAAHOOOO!!!" and another room go, "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Santa must have been good to them this year. :)

I'm just thinking about my family right now. Today, my mom is on her way up to see my family (in Jackson), and my sisters are spending Christmas morning at my Grandma Mildred's. Today is my grandma's birthday. :) I'm happy that I get to see everyone in a few days. I got to see my mom and Kath the other day, and I'll see everyone else very soon! I'm trying to stay positive about working today. I'm trying to make people happy, and also, I have to be thankful that I have a job. So many people do not have jobs right now and would do anything (even work on Christmas) to have one. So I am truly thankful. :) That is what I have been trying to tell myself everytime someone hears I work today and they say, "Aww, that's too bad."

In a little bit when my co-worker gets here, I am going to sneak away and call my family to wish them a Merry Christmas (and my Grandma a Happy Birthday). :)

Well, again.... A Merry Christmas to you all!!! :)

I am the Queen of Procrastination!

Yep... I am. I have a paper due tomorrow, and I had three weeks to do it, and I haven't even started. I do this to myself every time-Why? I can't even answer that. Oh well! I always get it finished, but I just hate the time when I am trying to even get started, and I can't even motivate myself to do that (like how I am at this very moment). I need encouragement! ;)

Onto more fun subjects, shall we? I'm working right now, and it is so nice to be in the lobby with all the Christmas decorations. :) I can't wait to get a tree and decorate our place. Last year, we had this HUGE tree, and although it was overwhelming at first, I grew to love it. It made our apartment look so cool! I made Logan promise me that I get more say on the Christmas tree we get this year. haha...

I'm really excited because Logan and I know where we are having our wedding ceremony and reception, but I'm going to wait before I announce it on this blog until we have it set in stone (deposits, contracts, etc...), but I'm really excited! I can't even explain how great it feels to have the locations pin-pointed. I feel like we've accomplished so much just by having that part of the planning complete (well, almost complete, hehe). I'll announce it soon... promise! :)

So, yeah... work... has.... been..... really....... slooooooow......... I've been working most evening shifts on my own, and busy or not, it always makes me nervous to be by myself for that long-and it can get pretty boring. Oh well! That's when I can do my homework, right??? ha! yeah right! It's more when I can make time to blog! hahaha....

I hope whoever reads this is having a great day/night. I'm really looking forward to Christmas, and I hope everyone else is, too... :)

Have a great night, and wish me luck on finishing my paper! :)
