I got the grant off on Friday afternoon after the help and assitance of numerous people at the University. I am going to bake some cookies to repay them for their support and kindness.
Last night I went to Jenny's for a birthday celebration. She baked me an awesome cake. It was literally a Martha Stewart Magazine worthy creation, and it was tasty to boot! I was a lot of fun spending time with Jenny and Nancy. I really needed a break from the cities. It is so nice to be around people who have known you as long as they have. They accept you for what you are, which is hard to find in friendships. I can't wait until Karen can come with me.
Matt's trip to "Canada" turned out to Bemidji. It is a tad frightening to think that he was in charge of students and didn't even know where he was going. I earned extra wife points for packing not only his paperwork but snacks in his duffle when he wasn't looking. He earned some coal in his stocking for marking up are car by hitting the side of the garage. I managed to get it off, but was high from all the fumes!
Thomas didn't like his Christmas outfit. I put it on him and he fell of the sink. I think he forgave me, as he took a nap with me later today.
Well, I better get to work if I am going to bake those cookies.
