12/12/2005 Entry: "Weekend Wrap Up for Jane"

So Jane says to me today "I really like reading you're blog. But you don't post as much as you used to."

"I know," I said. "But I'll post the weekend wrap-up tonight."

"Oh, right!" she says. "Did you go to Subway last night?"

"Um, know, I didn't. But what do I usually get?"

"Chicken/Bacon Ranch," Jane answered.

She does read here!

Let's back up to Thursday night. Every year, Julia and I sell Christmas trees for my Kiwanis club. We usually get chicken nuggets at McD's, hot cocoa, and enjoy the evening. Well, snow was predicted for Friday, so we were bombed! Ev Spear III was on the shift before us, and he appologized that there were so many holes in the stock. "I just haven't had a free minute," he said. Since we were working the late shift (5:30 - 8pm), I told him no worries. Julia and I would open some trees, fill in holes, and make everything ready for the morning. Well, that didn't happen for us. We were so busy, I think we made very little headway in filling in the holes. But the evening went by fast.

Friday, we did get the snow. It was slow at the office, and my classical radio rep brought us pizza. She brought pizza for everyone at the office! Nice. That evening, I was home.

Saturday morning I was back at the office with Barry. I left there at noon, and the fam and I made a trip to Wal-Mart. What a nightmare. A Saturday afternoon at a Wal-Mart before Christmas? Packed! Then in the late afternoon, I moved my DJ gear to The Trade Winds where I DJ'd the Shepard Nissan Christmas party--year number 11 for me with them. And for some reason, I just couldn't get them to dance. I don't know if it was me, or they just weren't in the mood. I don't think it was me, really. I mean, if I've done it for 11 years, they must like me. But it just didn't go well this year. I was home by midnight.

Sunday morning we were up early, getting ready for church. All went well there. We went to Mom's for lunch. Then home. I had a quick nap, then up to get ready for church in the evening. It was the kids Christmas pageant. They did a great job! To celebrate Julia's good performance, we didn't go to Subway (Jane), but to KFC instead. Home, then bed. And now, here we are!
