Christmas '05 went very well I thought. First thing this morning everyone wanted to get up and open presents of course, but if you look at the time of my previous post in this you'll see why I didn't want to. XD Eventually they dragged me out of bed around 9am and we all opened presents. I got lots of new clothes and a Dr Who DVD boxed set of the '78-'79 season which had some excellent stories. If anyone didn't know already, I'm a big Whovian (Dr Who nut) After finishing up with that we all went to the in-laws for lunch and more presents. The food was good and they're good company, but their cigarette smoking always seems to ruin it for me. After I left, I went home to change because I was pretty disgusted with the smell of myself and didn't want to go see my mom and brothers smelling like that. There were more presents and dinner at my mom's too and the cousins were all able to get together to play for a while. They all had a great time playing with each other and not me. ;; Tomorrow my sisters will be coming from out of town and the whole family will be back together again. Now I get a little bit of online time, but I won't stay up as late as I did last night.

Mee back again! Today, like all of this week, I didn't have to go to work so I was lazy and stayed in bed late this morning. When I did get up the kiddies were all over their new comp trying to figure out how to play a Harry Potter game. I was lucky to catch them before they messed up anything. They don't have rights to install programs anyways so they would not have gotten far. After that I installed the game for them and they had a blast with it until it was time to go to the bowling alley. The whole lot of little cousins went and it was a circus of course, but everyone had lots of fun. This evening we went back to my mom's for some dinner and TV and some Trivial Persuit, but I couldn't stay because we had to come home for bath time. Now I get to visit online for a little while.

Mee backiess! Today was a pretty good day for me I think. I was able to sleep late again today which is always a good thing. XD After I got up and ready I installed some more games for the kiddies to play and read Harry Potter for a while. I also played FFXI for a bit and did pretty good with that this time. Then I took the kiddies for a walk to the store around the corner to get all of us outside for a while. Later this afternoon I took them to the skating rink to meet up with their cousins and everyone had a good time I think. My sister-in-law and I didn't go out on the ice so we kinda froze together. ;; This evening I've mostly been chatting online, which is good too because I've seen so little of my online friends lately.

Erm, well I finally made it back here today. Partially my fault but also because I still have relatives here visiting from out of town. This morning my sister stopped by on her way back to New York so that we could have one last visit and say goodbye until next time. This afternoon I watched some of the new Dr Who DVD's that I got for a present and read more Harry Potter too. This evening I went back to my mom's to visit with my other sister who will be leaving to go back tomorrow, then all of the family visits will be completed for this holiday season. Now I'm back home, the kiddies are all in bed and I get a little online time now.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hmm, what happened with me today? Not all that much really. For the first time in a while I was able to spend a good amount visiting online and playing a few games. Besides that I read some more Harry Potter this evening, but also went out to clean up the snow in the yard. So not a very exciting day, but a fun one in many ways.

Last night I stayed up to watch the New Year celebrations so I wasn't able to stop by and post another one of these yesterday. Yesterday wasn't really very exciting, another day of relaxation with more reading, more Dr Who, and more movies with the kiddies. I was able to chat with a few people online last night before I got a bottle of wine and had a few drinkies for New Year's.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Today was very much a typical Sunday. This morning I went to mass as usual, but I was a little surprised to see so many people there on New Year's morning, normally it's a little sparse for obvious reasons. This afternoon I chatted online for a while and then my mom came to visit for a little bit. Then I went and watched some more of the 12 Kingdoms anime and another anime show with the kiddies. After dinner I was back to chat for a little more and to come in here to see what has been going on. It's good to see Yuki-san back from his trip.

Ooopsiess I forgot again yesterday! ;; It was probably because I was away playing FFXI again, so my fault this time. The kiddies went back to school today, so today was the first normal day after the holidays. Work went pretty smoothly without much stress, so it's been really nice to me since I've returned from my time off. This evening I tried my first shot at installing another network connection in my house. The other comp gets onto the web okay so I must have gotten it right. XD Now I'm just relaxing for a bit and seeing what's happening around here.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Eeep! It really has been a long time since I have done one of these! O.O;; For a couple of days the forum was broken, so I couldn't post, however I was able to get it working again today. That was my accomplishment for today. Yesterday I finished watching my 12 Kingdoms DVD's, so now I have to buy the second boxed set. I also watched more of Dr Who today and finished reading xxxHolic volume 6. Today I was also able to go online and visit with a few friends which was a good thing. I didn't get to do much online yesterday because I was trying to call up my sister to wish her a happy birthday, but she went out to have fun last night. XD My brother also came over and brought the kiddies with him so the cousins also had a great time playing together. A little while ago I went and played FFXI for the first time this weekend, so I got caught up on a few things today.

It was back to work for Shii-chan today after a little weekend just whizzed by. >_> It wasn't too bad of a day and I didn't get around to killing anyone this early in the week. This evening I went out shopping for a little while too look at shirts and manga, but I didn't actually buy anything, so I guess that I didn't do too well with that. Now I'm back to play around with the BBS again and try not to break it this time.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Hmm, how were things today with me today ... for this time of the year the weather hasn't been too bad recently. It's been in the 30's this week, but usually January can be much colder than that. Work was as busy as ever today, but I didn't get very much of my own work done. >_> It's been a rather lazy evening for me and I've mostly been doing online visiting. So far the Golden Wine layout hasn't given me any indigestion today, so maybe it will be okay from now on ... *crosses fingers*

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Today was a little less distracting than yesterday which is always a good thing. The weather was iccky and wet today and rather unpleasant even though it wasn't really that cold outside. It was a good day to be at work actually and since there weren't a lot of distractions, I was able to get some of my own work done. This evening I had one of my church group meetings to go to, so I haven't been online until now. Things don't seem to be very busy this evening anyways.

Today was another Saturday that started out just like most of them do with a trip to the bowling alley this morning. Later on though we went back to the local Humane Society and got not one, but two kittiess!! Both of them are soo pretty and I just love them already. ^__^ They both seem pretty mild and get along great with the kiddies, so I don't need to worry about that anymore. It's been so long since I've been waiting to get another kitty, but now I'm really happy with the ones that I did get today. This afternoon I also chatted online for a bit and went around to the forums, and now I've made it back here again.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Well, another itty bitty short weekend all gone already. It was a relaxing one though. This morning I went out to Sunday mass and had to unfreeze the doors on my car to get into it. This afternoon I watched the last story arc of the Dr. Who DVD boxed set that I got for Christmas. I really enjoyed watching those old episodes again after so many years. This evening I've been chatting online a little and watching movies with the kiddies and I've been waiting to see if anyone shows up to play FFXI tonight but so far no one has ...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Since I don't work for the government or a bank I had to go to work today. I wonder what Dr. King would think of that, but for now all that I can do is wonder. It was another nutty Monday at work today, but I managed to get through all of it just fine and I even got some of my own work done too. This evening after dinner I watched another movie with the kiddies and visited online for a little, but that was it. It's going to be another evil cold night, but it's supposed to get a little warmer tomorrow I think.;;

[Shiidou Hikaru]

The weather warmed up a little today, but otherwise today was a carbon copy of yesterday. Yes, Shii-chan has a boring life. v_v It's supposed to sleet tonight and get all icy tomorrow, so maybe there will be no school tomorrow and I'll get to stay home with the kiddies.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Teeheehee, I got my wish today. First thing this morning I put on the news to get the closed school listings because of the freezing rain and ice, and ours came up. So I didn't even bother to wake up the kiddies and started doing my work from home today. I was able to do quite a bit actually and got more done than if I had gone in to work today. I didn't do much for online visiting today and this is my first chance to post here although I did come here earlier just to look around. This evening I went out to one of my church group meetings and almost all of the ice was gone by then. Hopefully tomorrow will have nicer weather than today did.

Laa dee daa dee da ... *trips and falls down*

Owch ... I forgot that this was here. ;; That's part of my inattentive ditzy self just wandering off again. The last two evenings I've been playing FFXI with one of my old friends from way back and we've had a good time together with that. Work has been going okay, some stuff good, some stuff bad, and some stuff just plain rediculous. @_@ Well, that keeps work from getting too serious and mind bending insane ... like an asylum ... Things at home have been going rather well especially with the new kitties here at the house.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

The last two days I've been feeling pretty bad because I've had the sickies, so I haven't been online all that much. I've still been going to work, but by the end of the day I've had enough and just need to rest for a bit. So I'm sorry about wandering off for a little while, hopefully I'll be back to normal pretty soon.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Today was somewhat better than yesterday. A lot of the cold stuffies have gone away, so I don't feel nearly as miserable as I did before. My head doesn't hurt anymore thank goodness and I can do stuff on the compy again. Work was chaotic and nuts again today, but the end of the day always comes and I get to escape to freedom. This evening I took a nap when I came home and didn't go out like I usually do on Wedneday evenings. That helped out a little too.
