Hi everybody! I hope you all had a good holiday. Mine was wonderful.

There was the Christmas Eve catastrophe when I could not find a store open to buy the pepperoni I needed for my lasagna. Fortunately I was able to bribe my mom's neighbor who owns an Italian restaurant that happened to be open. $20 for pepperoni..... But I did make some awesome lasagna which I enjoyed with my family and my best friend and her husband.

I also became addicted to a new game that I bought for my future stepchild.... Roller Coaster Tycoon 3! I also had her a computer built and we got to spend the week with her and a great time was had all around.

Oh, and I did go and finally get our Christmas gifts to each other last night... New cell phones! It's the only thing we bought for each other this year but we went all out for the kids and I could not be happier.
