Anticipation

Is it bad that it is Monday and all I can think about is Thursday?  I have become one of those people that wants to enjoy each and every day, so I don't really want to slight Tuesday and Wednesday out of their just due, but come on!!

See, Thursday is going to be the second annual gingerbread decorating/ Christmas movie watching/ jambalaya eating extravaganza.  Whew!  I can't wait, the boys and Lauren are coming over, and I hope a good time will be had by all.  Around the apartment, Keara has started planning things for "when the boys come over".  It's awesome, she made special cookies over the weekend for the occasion that no one can touch.  I don't mean special as in she put laxatives in them or anything sketch like that, just that she wants her big step-brothers to be impressed I think.

So on to the plans, we will be enjoying my world famous chicken, sausage, and shrimp jambalaya.  I say world famous, because the people that mean the most to MY world are looking forward to it.  All except my wife Kim, but that's okay, I knew long ago that she eats like a 5 year old, and I take no offense.  I am making it Wednesday night, because one of the secrets to my world famous dish it to make it, put it in the fridge, and let the ingredients get to know one another for a while.  It's always better reheated for some reason.

We will be decorating gingerbread houses again, this will be fun, because I think the boys actually enjoy it.  They have done them at their Mom's place too, so they are more experienced than the rest of us, but I have confidence in my skills so they should fear the challenge.  (I think I can smell the fear already, and it's 3 days away,,,, or is that odor coming from me?)

We will also take in a Christmas movie.  Not sure which one yet, so feel free to comment and leave suggestions.  We like them all, so there won't be a bad choice.  Perhaps, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Rudolf, A Christmas Story, etc....

Did I mention I am looking forward to Thursday?

Peace,
