Now that my desk is back in order, I can actually do an update!

My step-daughter (to be), Kei, lives in Phoe.nix. I made sure that I had her Christmas package in the mail ON TIME! I sent it USPS PRIORITY, with Delivery Confirmation & Insurance! Don't you know that she didn't get her package until today!?! They attempted to deliver it 12/22 @ 2:58, I know this because of the Delivery Confirmation, and when her mom when to pick it up the following day.. The package was no where to be found. She then tried to pick it up Christmas Eve, but again, they couldn't find the package. It was never checked back into their system after the attempted delivery on 12/22! I will NEVER send anything important USPS again.. I'm using UPS!

My kids loved Christmas and scored like you wouldn't believe! Every year I feel like I didn't do enough, and every year it ends up being too much! Dlo spoiled me! I will be one RELAXED ($250 Gift Card to Gene Juarez) woman who smells good (can't remember the name of the 2nd one, but it smells REALLY nice!) while toting my purse from Victoria.Secrets. He did good! He scored too! I got him the PSP with all the fixin's and the NBA 2006 game. I figured it would be perfect since he drives a bus all day and has layovers. Such a smart woman, because he LOVED it!

We've had Dlo's nephew, Jai, since Christmas afternoon! He and Dar.ius get along SO good that we didn't even know they were there. He left last night and will be back on Friday to spend the New Years with us. Sometimes I feel bad for Dar.ius because he is surrounded by only girls. It's good for him to have a boy around.

We're celebrating NYE at home! Every year we have a big 'ol party with friends and family! This way we don't have to venture out and risk the drive home. So we all get shit-faced at home and people start falling where they can. Then we all wake up the next morning and have a big 'ol brunch to feed our hangovers!
