Our staff Christmas luncheon was supposed to be at Chilis today--Chilis being the only major restaurant chain in town. We arrived, got seated, and were served the customary chips and salsa. By the time our drinks had arrived, the power went out. Of course everyone blamed it on me since we were without electricity for about 36 hours. We gave it about 20 minutes, but it didn't look like the power had any chance of coming back on, so we punted and got BBQ from Dinks. It's pretty good...not Rudy's good, but I liked it better than the Salt Lick.
Lauren fell yesterday around lunch. She was running to her potty and slipped. Her lip was pretty fat and she's got a bruised chin. It looks like she got in a fight. I just tell her to tell everyone, "You should have seen the OTHER girl." She still has an ear infection and the doctor said that if she had another one in the near future, she recommended getting tubes. That was a bit of a bummer. On a positive note, Beth's OB appointment went great. She gained a half pound over the last two weeks. The doctor said Noah had already turned the right direction. That was comforting because we thought he might be breached. She goes back in a couple of weeks (on the 26th).
Christmas is quickly approaching, and that means one thing. My birthday will be here before I know it. I'll officially be an old man. It is hard to believe that I'm going to be 33. Ten years ago, I graduated from the U of A and moved to Texas. That is hard to fathom.
Tomorrow is supposed to bring more of the white stuff. Last year around this time, B-ville had about 18" of snow on the ground. I'll bet Lauren would have loved it. I would have, too. As a kid, snow was about the most exciting thing that could happen. There was nothing better than staying up late to watch the 10pm news to see if your school was closed. We got about 16" in Pine Bluff in 1987. That made for a lot of snowmen.
I am still learning this Mac thing. Hopefully, I'll have some photos to post soon.
'night, y'all.
