My holiday off

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and managed to get at least one or two days off. Thankfully, I got a whole week...and a day! That's what I get for not taking one week of vacation back in the summer months...

So, here's a summary of what I did before and on Christmas...

*Helped cook
*Wrapped presents
*Opened presents
*Ate
*Played video/board games with my nephews and nieces
*Ate some more

Well, after Christmas, I took my brother's kids to the Tennessee Aquarium. Not a long trip, but it felt like it. We all had fun. On Wednesday, I slept late and goofed off all day.

On Thursday I headed to Opelika to visit Brock and his family... I get on I-65 north of Montgomery then realize there's road construction ahead... I make it to an exit and decide to go a back way. Then, about 25 miles from Opelika...more road work...or what I thought was road work. Apparently the interstate was CLOSED ahead due to an earlier truck wreck...which apparently there was a bit of damage to a nearby bridge.

The three-hour tour (I mean trip ;)) turns into a four-and-a-half hour trip... Still fun though. I got to see and play with his little girl who's nearly a year old now.

On Friday, I went to visit some old co-workers at my old station. I stayed about two hours or so and came back home. Tonight I'm planning on getting my yearly New Year's plans organized (they keep getting smaller) and see just how many explosives it'll take to blow up my neighborhood this time.

I'll give you all a good summary on my year in a later post...when I'm more in the mood at least! ;)
