Things are moving along now...
For day 18, Vicki got One-Ate, a special lunch for one. BUT, since we had went to the Sundance Grill with Hannah the night before, we ate the leftovers from that. Yummy!
On the 19th, Vicki got 19 backrub coupons. 19 is her favorite number, since her birthday is September 19, and her golden year (19 on the 19th) is when we met, dated, got engaged, and married a month before she turned 20. :-D
For the 20th, she got a $20 gift card for Celebration Cinema. And, if I'm very fortunate, she might take me out to the movies...
Just a few days to go until Christmas - good stuff!
Random Fluffy Foto!
Writing in bed, and Beka editing by ear. Really. The ear typed some letters. Really.

Day 16 & 17
On Day 16, Vicki got 16 mix 'n' match kisses - she can choose from carmel filled ones, peanut butter filled ones, or... um... the other type. We'll see which she chooses - I know Amanda will want to know.
For Day 17, she found 17 Get Out Of Trash Free cards. I know, I know - isn't the trash the husband's job?... Well, yes. But not here. Anyway, there we are.
And, I now have TWO pair of boots. I'm a regular shoe animal. :-D

The windmills of my mind...
This is off of the VickiChristmas theme...
Why is it, when I have the most wonderful job in the world, that so often I find myself just staring at the computer. Not getting a blasted thing done. I don't understand how my whole psyche goes into neutral so easily, and I become a veg. Today has been a pretty good day - not moving the whole earth, but definitely more than a shovel or two.
I'm really wrestling with how a right-brained, visually oriented goober such as myself deals with the left-brained, confusing world of project management. How do I get my job functions into a form that I not only can use, but can continue to use.
My 3x5 cards have been the closest I've come to having a system, but sometimes they too get lost in the fog that is my head. I use my Palm for my calendar, addresses, and (of course) games and music. My phone is mostly contacts and numbers. But none of them really take hold in my mind to help me keep on top of what I'm supposed to be doing.
Do I sound like a whiney 20-something? Shouldn't I have this figured out at 46 years of age? DOH!
I have the greatest job in the world. And, it's not just work - it's my calling. Need to keep my eyes on that, and off of the details that I get buried in. At the end of the day, if just one kiddo has come closer to trusting Jesus or been encouraged to live for Him by His Kids Radio, that's a good day.
And, that's why I have the greatest job in the world. Note to self: Remember that!!!

Day 14
For the 14th, Vicki got the 4th season of Smallville (1 box, 4th season).
Oh - and I got a six shot Nerf gun. The better to blast my boss with. Thinkgeek.com actually has a section for "Cubicle Warfare." Gave me a lot of great ideas, but I think I'll just keep my trusty Nerf gun and keep it simple. And, the micro darts make a sound if you fire them across the room. Way too much fun, although Vicki just rolls her eyes at me.
It also has rubber darts, which are great for hitting the white board at one end of the room, or the metal cabinet on the other. Great stress buster. :-D
Vicki did get excited about one thing - we tested the gun to see what it feels like to get hit by one of these little puppies. I say WE - I mean, SHE fired, and I was the target. She laughed as she unloaded 6 Nerf darts into my back...
