Saturday I spent cleaning up my mess of a house and baking mass quantities of gingerbread. I then had some friends over for a Christmas party. We cranked up the Chrsitmas carols (including the horrible horrible "Christmas Dance Party" CD my mom gave me a few years back. Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Disco should stay far, far away from eachother!), decorated my house with oodles of lights and garland, and made real live gingerbread houses! 
I haven't done that since I was probably 10 or 11 years old!It was quite the night! We ended with a few games of Rook while the movie A Christmas Story played in the background. You'll shoot your eye out, kid!
Go check out some photographic evidence of Saturday evening's craziness!
Sunday was the first week back at church in three weeks for me, and it was SO good to be back (I didn't go anywhere but work for about two weeks after my car accident. I was in a major self-pity funk). PLUS, when I woke up Sunday morning, it was snowing! After church some friends and I went out for lunch to this little cafe on Main Street. It's a cozy little place, and every Sunday afternoon there's an older man who sits at the piano and just plays and plays and plays. Well last Sunday he was playing Christmas carols. So with live Chrsitmas music filling the cafe, I enjoyed a cozy luch with some good friends while watching the snow come down outside. Mmmmmmmm, it was perfect!
That evening was the church's Chrsitmas party. I decided to walk the 40 blocks or so and enjoy the snow. The party was fun - carols, kids stories, lots of laughs and some good eats. AND, by pure serendipity, when some friends decided to go ice skating afterwards, we were just in time to catch the full public skate session. It couldn't have been a more perfect weekend!

I must be one of Darryl Worleys biggest fans. One one of my blogs (blog addict here) simply called Test....I have 10 songs I love. They are music videos, and two of them are Darryl Worley songs.
One of those videos is
"I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life! I'll be back to check out your blog, I was just unwinding from my 400 miles Diesel Truck drive through a snowstorm, on a bitterly cold day.....and came upon Wendy's newly designed blog, and Wendy directed me here today.
The person right above my post, had a blog without comments. Strange, and so I didn't want to break the chain, and I visited your blog. Glad I did.
Those gingerbread houses look YUMMY!!!
