Kitchen duty

Spent today in the kitchen but not the way I had planned to! Yesterday we cleaned the freezer, and realized how empty it was getting. So today we started to re-fill it. Two hours of grocery shopping and then many hours of "power cooking". We also paid some bills and got the rest of our Christmas shopping done. I found out something nice about Christmas shopping in November. People aren't as cranky. The Christmas spirit is fresh and new, and shopping is a pleasure. Even the clerks in Wal-Mart seemed to be having fun. I know that in a couple of weeks it will be entirely different. We found the gifts we needed for our last two grand children, in exactly the colours they wanted, and at a price we could afford. It doesn't get any better than that.

And--Ta-da--my DS got the best Christmas present--a new job!! This is the one he has been preparing for for a couple of years. He went through an interview process about a month ago, and someone else got the job. Great disappointment, but today he got a call that another position had come up and he starts in January. I'm so pleased for him. He has really been looking for a change. He did a six month term in a similar position awhile back and really loved it. With all that has happened to him in his life, it's great to see something actually come together for him
