And so this is Christmas!
Don and I enjoyed breakfast...Oatmeal and O.J. (same ole' same ole....hahaha) with a beautiful white shinny table setting and Christmas music playing in the background.
We enjoyed opening a few presents from the students and my sisters that were in the middle of the table and from Joy and I got Shane's gift yesterday. It was fun opening
presents and ooing and ahhaing.
Aunt Betty sent some real Chrismassy stuff.
Aunt Pat sent a box of Judith flower stationery.
Joy sent an uplifting card and an interesting "Alabinia" CD...it sounds kind of sit-tar-ish...in another language. Might even be tango music...I like it. (it's playing now.)
We got some chocolate and some candles from students. Fun!
My husband said, "I left your card at work. It was a nice card too".
In the past he would put a nice big check in the Christmas card. He told me no check this year. He has been really busy at work and we will enjoy a weekend away in February or March. That's what I really want anyway, time alone with just him. I just gave him a hug. As you can see...we are not big into the whole Christmas thing.
On an up note, I have been buying myself Christmas presents all month! I got the best stuff for me. Things that I really, really, wanted.
I bought:
1. a life size (resin) human skeleton with a stand. This was ispired by the Feldenkris workshop I took last month. I can't wait. It will hang in my Karate School office. (actually the Karate School paid for this!)
2. a Kodak easy share digital camera 4 pixel's. (actually the Karate School paid for this one too!)
3. a couple of books off the internet. (yup the Karate School paid for this!)
4. a bunch of Abraham tapes! (some motivational tapes)(hahaha.....actually the Karate School paid for these too!)
5.Here's the big one, I signed up for a year of leading edge coaching, an on line
interactive group that checks in once a week for a phone conference. There's lots of homework writing and vizualizing your perfect life! (hahaha...and of course, the Karate business is picking up the tab for the last one. I'm ready to focus on my Karate Business and the body, mind and spirit aspects of ME in 2006....PERFECT! There are many advantages to having a ball and chain like Karate...I love my life.
