Gettin' ready for Christmas
Well, I am sitting here at work. 11:31 p.m. I have an hour to go. Just waiting for any big news to break--which I hope doesn't. And waitin' for the papers.
Curt told me recently that I needed to write more in my blog. I guess he was bored with my previous posts. I told him that my life is not very exciting.
Well, his parents--Ed and Marilyn--and his grandma--Grandma Phyllis--are coming to town for Christmas this week. They arrive Thursday from Missouri. We will celebrate Christmas Eve in Phoenix with shrimp and gift opening. The shrimp on Christmas Eve is a Poff-family tradition. Christmas day we will head down to Tucson to spend the day with my family--part of the day with my mom and her family and then part of the day with my dad and his family. Then we will come back to Phoenix, exhausted I am sure.
We will have all day Sunday to do whatever we want. We will probably make cheese. As most of your know Curt has been brewing beer for some months now. We also made some homemade Rootbeer. And now we will try cheese. Grandma P. has experience with making cheese. So she will be a great resource. Curt and I are planning on trying to make wine soon. Oh, and did I tell you we got a breadmaker and can make yummy homemade bread. It was a hit at our holiday party.
Yes, we had a holiday party on the 11th. It was a good time. Lots of friends and coworkers showed up. And my mom and Fred, my stepdad. We had lots of good food and company. It started at 7 p.m. and ended at 3 a.m. You know us late-night people.
Last Sunday (12th) we opened Christmas gifts with my mom and Fred--since we won't arrive in Tucson on Christmas until early afternoon. I got some Hello Kitty jammies and a gift card to my fave store, Target. I got a few ornaments that are on the tree and some other cute odds and ends. Curt got Starbucks and Best Buy gift cards and a Chiefs shirt and some low-sugar brownies that my mom made him. I am looking forward to all my other gifts. :)
Oh, on Dec. 17 (which happens to be my mom's birthday) my brother, John, graduated from Art school with a bachelor's. I wasn't able to attend the graduation or party. But I am very proud of him.
Well, it is 11:42 and I have run out of things to say. Will write again soon.
