This will probably be my only blog before Christmas so I'll have to update and look forward.

My sister text me and said I needed to blog.  And, she's right.  If I'm going to keep track of me, I need to blog daily.  Okay, semi-daily.  Okay, once a week.

The past few days have been hectic but great.  Sat we went to Sea World. Charles had gotten tickets from Disney for his contribution to United Way, so we used those and went to see their Christmas presentations.  I was really UNDERWHELMED.  I guess I'm jaded by Disney's presentations which are so spectacular that See World just seems "mundane" in comparison.  We did get to see the penguins, the Polar Express and the Clyde and Seymour Christmas show.  They were all different since I had been there.  Charles and Mock and I went, and a good time was had by all.  I was EXTREMELY tired and had to take something for my back, but it was a good time.

Tuesday, Mock, Vicki, Mary and I went to EPCOT for Lunch at Marrakesh, the Candlelight Processional, and Fireworks.  It was a very long day for me, but it was a wonderful present to me too.  It was the best day I've had in a very long time.  There's nothing better than good food, wonderful friends and excellent entertainment.

The Marrakesh is a Moroccan Restaurant at EPCOT and I had lamb and couscous. I was so full I didn't even eat dessert.  Now that is full for me. Vicki had chicken.  Mary had chicken kabobs.  Mock had salmon that he didn't like so they brought him a cheeseburger and fries.  Americans.

The Candlelight Processional is the reading of the true Christmas story, massive choir of about 400, and an orchestra.  The music was unbelievable. Sigourney Weaver was the celebrity reader.  Even though she missed a few cues, she was excellent and we enjoyed it very much.

The fireworks were phenomenal, as usual.  NO ONE does fireworks like Disney.  I, personally, prefer Magic Kingdom's, but EPCOT is a close second.

We are expecting guests to visit from NY and are providing lunch on Christmas.  They only thing that would make this time of year more perfect would be if Tom could be here.  He's not sure if he's coming or not.  Maybe he will surprise me.

Holly came and decorated November 20, as she was going to be gone quite a bit and didn't know when she could do it.  Charles does not want decorations outside this year.  Maybe next year.

Well, if I don't see you for Christmas - I hope its happy and merry.  God bless us all.



PS:  Going to MAYO tomorrow for my back.  All day affair.  Ween is doing a sleep-over with Mock.
