Good weekend, albeit short

Despite almost not getting a drive home, I eventually found someone going but not my ideal ride. I'd describe it more as a flight home rather than a drive but all went without a hitch so its all good.

This week had its share of ups and downs but there was also a xmas party involved. Oulton students everywhere congregated at the Hotel Beau in various degrees of mental acuity to enjoy a formal dance and cash bar. A good time was had by all, even some instructors.

Fast forward to Saturday night and I was at Allan's xmas party. What on Earth (WOE) are a good group of people and there was no shortage of talk, dance and wine. Its so nice to have a child who is old enough to stay home by himself for a few hours while the parents go out. I dread the day when we have to repay the favor.

Back now for one more week. Heavy week too as we plough through two tests and a final. I actually started some xmas shopping today. I think Adrian is going to have a clothing christmas. I bought several choice pieces at Sears and also the Children's Place. In a couple more years he will be outgrown the Children's Place but until then I'm going to keep looking for good clothes at decent prices.

Next on the agenda is to buy two carry on luggage bags so we don't have to pay a hefty fee at the airport for checked luggage. Shorts and bathing suits don't take up that much room so carry-on is all we really need.

I can hardly believe its only two more weeks until holiday break. Looking forward to my open house on the 24th. Put us on your list of things to do that day! The Christmas cheer and goodies are abundant. Don't forget the best part... real eggnog! Not the crap they pass for eggnog at the store. This is the real thing batman.

Signing off now. My obicularis oculii are getting heavy.
