Random things

On my first of five days off, I slept in until 6:30 a.m. On any normal day, I would have been up at 4 a.m. and at work at 4:30 a.m. But I don't have to think about that until next Tuesday and that feels great!

I have already been on the treadmill today. I started at 7 a.m. and watched Saved By The Bell The episodes that were shown were of the whole gang working at The Malibu Sands. When I was younger I really wanted to work at a beach club because of them. It looked fun. They hardly ever worked. But where I live, we don't have anything cool like that. No beaches, no oceans. And no Zack Morris. Boo.

I have a very busy Christmas Eve. At 10 a.m., I have a rehearsal at church for tonight's Christmas mass. I will be one of three altar servers for mass tonight. My role as altar server last year was to carry the incense. I hope to pass that on to someone else this year. The incense is so strong when it is lit. It instantly gave me a headache.

When rehearsal is finished, I will be making lunch. Then its on to cleaning the house. After mass, my family will be arriving at my house for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Back before I was married, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner was Subway. We would stop and get subs right before it closed for the night. The Subway tradition still continued for a couple of years after I was married. One year it changed. My husband and I had a nice meal planned for us, but somehow my entire family got invited over to our house and the tradition started. I think it is the one tradition I look forward to the most each year.
