This morning N and I were both up by five. He checked out the presents on the front porch then settled into the couch for pre-dawn television. T and M woke by six, and we decided to wake N by six-thirty. M’s mom was up by seven. The boys took turns opening presents. T was slightly spazzy, but you know, it’s Christmas morning, so I can’t complain. M did a good job with the presents…a couple Wii games, football jerseys, a Nintendo DS, remote control helicopters, lego sets, snowboards, tons of heroscape guys. Usually I pick up some presents for the boys, but this year M got into a groove and ended up choosing just about everything. I got M the first season of “Desperate Housewives” on DVD. She got me an awesome 20 X 30 collage of my Italy pictures. M’s mom got me gift certificates from Amazon and Best Buy. I think I’ll add to the Best Buy one and pick up a new desktop monitor. No plans for the Amazon cash. You have to think of Amazon as more than a bookstore these days. I mean, what can’t you get on Amazon? Too much pressure.
Last night T and I went at it at church because, about ten seconds before he was supposed to go on stage as the little drummer boy, he told me had to pee. I told him I was disappointed in him, as he had been around church for an hour and a half before that, but apparently he did well. I was pretty tired, and M had messed up the start time to the point where we arrived at church over an hour before the start time. I read Murakami in the coat room before the program started. Anyway, N and I left early and both of us were asleep before eight. He came into the room with me and crashed next to me while I read. Here’s a picture:
I’m wired, so perhaps Shadow and I will walk through town. The weather channel reads 32 but with the sun the temps seem higher. More later.
