dolphins_logI've just reread my party post. I must have been tired even yesterday.
To reitterate... The party was lots of fun! I did more then go have a lie down on the couch. We had our gift exchange, and Juli and I tried to focus little more on choosing good gifts a then we have in the past. That was fun.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
genebreshears's ghost story, which takes place in his steampunk universe, was great! ...much better then the discarded ending he'd had. While no one rose to the Ghost Story challenge, I did have my old ghost story from years past. I dusted it off and found that I didn't have the comments from before. But time was running out, and since a lot of people have heard it already, I thought I'd just post it to the tai pan group list. That gave Chuck time to read the final interlude installment of his Felicia story.
I finished scrubbing the house down for a "reveal" to Juli. I had the lights off and the tree lit. I had candles burning bright and Christmas music playing. When she arrived she was very pleased. Then I took her for a walk through the clean kitchen and family room, with the few more ornaments 'round about, and "White Christmas" playing quietly on the box. {I've never seen that one from the beginning. ...always at the end when the ex-troops are arriving.} Then I asked her if she felt Christmas. She does.
I mentioned Saturday that I was going to slip into Poulsbo and check the mail for Juli's cross stitch gifts. They Arrived!! And today one of the "Survivor" buffs arrived. Not the color that I had ordered, they only had one at the time, but another color that she would much prefer.
Now I get to pack an order that just came in while I've been typing. We closed 10 minutes ago. I'm such a nice guy. Then I buy veggies for our celebration tomorrow, and ship this box on my way home, and a pizza so I don't have to cook for myself. Then some wrapping. I'm almost there!
