08:50 AM: I’m up. 

10:15 AM: Working the   DJ Gig: 2009-12-31   project.

11:45 AM Headed out to my early birthday celebration lunch with Mom, [Emmy], and sister Mary Ann.  I’ll Catch you this afternoon sometime when I return home. 

02:30 PM: I’m back from my mini birthday celebration lunch turned   little shopping trip.   We had a wonderfully filling and enjoyable time. 

02:45 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting, 2009   project.  I actually took some lights down, in preparations for the heavy snowfall, which is anticipated for tomorrow morning. 

06:00 PM:  We had our afternoon naps after lunch, then watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless on the DVR.

08:30 PM: Watched Frosty on CBS.  I still enjoy this every year.

11:20 PM: Posted today’s revisions to this blog,   here

12:40 AM: Finished importing all current-music CDs into the Tommy’s Tunes music library, per the   DJ Gig: 2009-12-31   project.  I’ll add any new ones that come in between now, and the gig.

12:45 AM: Looks like the storm they’ve been calling for all day has arrived.  So far, we’re seeing just rain and sleet here, and a thin coating of ice has formed on the ramp.  If this keeps up all night, we could get quite a bit of sleet and snow by noon tomorrow.  Guess I’ll be shoveling for some of the day Saturday.

12:55 AM: Heading for bed now.  See you later.

    Shopping Trip: 2009-12-18

    Friday, December 18th, 2009

    Dining, encompasses more accurately than shopping, the theme of this trip, because we reslly did very little shopping. However, we did complete some important shopping nonetheless.  We got the following items:

    • A new cell phone for [Emmy]; roughly $42.39.
    • Ribbons, bows, and wrapping paper for Mom.

     

    We also hit the Olive Garden restaurant in Altoona for soup, salad, and breadsticks.  However, Mom and Mary Ann shaired their entre dishes with [Emmy] and me.  So I had some seafood manicotti and shrimp, along with my chicken soup.
