Let The Countdown Begin!!!!!!!!!!!
In three days at this time, about 5PM, we will just be arriving at the airport to begin the first leg of our trip. Today I must say was a long and boring day. Yesterday I decorated the house for Christmas (everything but the tree), so we're pretty far ahead of the game at this point. Im always the first one to point out those neurotic people who have their houses decorated this early. Well hey, the stores here were putting out the Holiday stuff right next to the Halloween displays. Thats one of the things that really gets me peeved. I love the fall. Its my favorite time of year, and its short enough without everyone starting the Christmas music (hello.........anyone at work reading this??? You know who you are!!!), and putting up the lights, ect before the season offically starts. Nobody needs to be singing Rockin' Round The Christmas Tree during the first freakin' week of November! Hey, all you University Dental people, this means you!!! Now that I'm gone, ya'll can crank that junk up and Ho-Ho-Ho all you want!
Oooooops. Better get back to the point. So this year due to the fact that I will be in Hanoi enjoying my son on Black Friday, which has always been my ritualistic bust out the Christmas decorations day, I found myself putting everything out yesterday. In 80 degree heat and with shorts on, yes, Chris was outside hanging garland and bows on the house. Should have taken a picture because that will never happen again in my lifetime! There will be no Christmas stocking hung before Turkey Day. Still in all, its one less thing I'll have to deal with upon arriving home. I dont want to have anything to do except settle in with George and Tinh.
So that was yesterday. Today I didnt do anything. Seriously, there isnt anything left. The only thing I did, and it was primarily out of sheer boredom, was take a bath. Im not much of a bath girl at all, but for some reason I felt the need to do it today. So I got out the tub pillow, and a Vogue magazine I had lying around, and soaked for a bit. I think theres just something about knowing in the back of your mind that your days are numbered and that little luxuries.....little snatches of me time like that will be a thing of the past, so you do them even though it isnt something you cared much for to begin with. Weird.
Thankfully, I do have a few errands, although small, to do tomorrow. So being out of the house for a part of the day will make it zip on by. Cant take three more days of just hanging around like this. Thats for sure.
There really isnt anything to do now. Nothing but wait............

wow! Three posts. You really must be bored. I'm glad to hear you finally bathed, though. You were getting a little, eh, you know, ripe Thursday. hehe. Just kidding.
Kat called me tonight to muse about where you might be and if you had your boy in your arms yet. I told her you were still in Chatham. :( She said to tell you she was thinking of you and to wish you luck. She thought you might be busy though.
Anyway, you know we are all thinking of you(especially me); ) and your family will be in our prayers. Love you and give that baby lots of kiss from me.
Oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
