All I can say is the road to hell is paved with good intentions!  I *intended* on getting lots and lots of steps today- but somehow that didn't work out.
(Kelsey had a 2 hour delay due to weather.)
Still trying to get Christmas things put away from Sunday.  Worked on that some.
Corey, Brandi, Adrienne, and Pat were all here from like 6-10:45 p.m.  Its hard to do much when you're entertaining!  But thats OK- Adrienne is such a cutey pie and she seems to be Grandma's Girl lately!
E1 except for Brandi got Chinese.  Pat and Kels went and got it.
**Picture is of all our girls, taken 1/4/09;
L to R :
Kayla (sd), Kelsey (dd), Brandi (sd), Nicole (sd) and Adrienne (gd- Brandi's baby)  btw- the 2 on either end are twins...and Kayla, Nicole, and Kels are all 15!  Anyone feel sorry for me?!  lol

Did 30 minutes on the stationary bike, and then 36 minutes on the t/m.  Plus I worked 3-11, so a pretty good stepping day for me.
After work went to Tops cuz Kels wanted OJ, spoiled brat!   lol
Stayed up till about 2 a.m. with Randy (he was playing his World at War game)  (he was up late cuz he has a drs appt tomorrow at 9 so he can sleep in an extra 1.5 hrs)

Randy, Kels, Pat, and I were at mom and dads from 2:30-10 p.m. to have Christmas. Randy's girls could only stay till 5 p.m. because they were having Christmas at their Aunt Sue's too.
We ate beef on weck and baked beans.  Opened gifts (Randy and I got $ from mom and dad and a bunch of stuff from Laura and Steve)
Kels and Pat played 2 games of euchre against mom and dad.  I went up and walked a mile on dads t/m because my step count was so pitiful!  (still is but better with the 2371 steps than without!)
Later I made the mistake of asking mom if I could use her pc for a minute.  She basically sd, "no cuz it's all messed up"- so Randy spent about 1.5 hours running programs on it and looking at it.  I'm sure just what he wanted to do!

Went to Adrienne's 1st Birthday party today from about 2:15-4:45.
Came home and wrapped Christmas gifts to go to mom and dads tomorrow. 
At about 7 p.m. Jeff Reese came over and him, Randy, and I went to the Sportsman.  It was a fun time- everyone ended up going over- Marty, Tom, Sheila, Markie, Lori, Earl, etc... I was the good girl and drove!
Home about 11:30.  Jeff stuck around and played guitar hero with Randy for about 30 minutes.

Lousy beginning to the day.  Got called into work because of an incident the night before.  Don't want to get into it here- but it was a purely accidental thing that happened when Serena and I were hoyering a resident.  We didn't get in any trouble...
Later had Poker at Dave and Lori's.  Randy came in 1st, Jessica 2nd, and me 3rd.
Was home by about 12:30.  Randy fell asleep on the couch. I couldn't sleep so I walked 2 miles on my treadmill @ 1 a.m. (steps counted for the 3rd)

Walked a whopping 12 min. on the t/m before work and 16 min. after work. Not much but better than nothing.
Not much else new.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Years Eve!
Did a 30" walk on the t/m and then got ready for NY Eve.
Pat, Kelsey, Randy, and I went to Markie's 1st for about an hour.  And then we got to Tobys about 9 p.m.  There were not as many people there as I thought there would be.  But the weather was pretty nasty out.
Guess we stayed till about 1:30 a.m. and Pat drove us home.

Quite a bit of t/m walking today.  Trying to make a couple goals for competitions. 
Later Randy and I, Pat and Kelsey went to Batavia.  1st we went to Olivers for a GC and candy for dad for Christmas.  Then we went to Tullys to eat, then to Walmart.  After we were going to go gamble for a little bit- but it was snowing really bad when we came out, so we just went home.  Roads were yucky! 
Home about 11 p.m.  Randy played "world at war" and I did odds and ends.

Worked...
Kels got my chinese for my dinner.  Her and Pat brought it up.  Didn't eat it all so Randy came up and got the rest of it for his dinner.
Home, watched Fred Claus and walked for a while.

Worked 3-11, worked short (per usual).  But didn't go as badly as it could've!
Managed a 30 minute walk on the t/m when I got home from work.
Not much else...

Christmas at Mom and dad G's.  Were there from like 4:45 p.m.- 9 p.m.
Was nice.
Came home and Corey, Brandi, Adrienne, and Pat came over to play "Apples to Apples".  Like usual we had fun!
Afterwards Corey and Randy played "Call of Duty".  They left around 2:15 and I went to bed about 2:30.
BAD BAD day for stepping and I am disappointed because it lowered my average for the month by like 450.  Will try to work hard the next few daysto get it back up there.

Another busy day.  Everyone (Brandi, Corey, Adrienne, Pat, Kelsey, and Nicole) came over this afternoon to hang out, play games, and have dinner.
We played Apples to Apples.  Then had dinner (chicken, oven baked potatoes, deviled eggs, and breadsticks).  Was good- if I do say so myself.  Corey *challenged* Pat that he could eat more than him- so the 2 goofs sat here filling their faces.  IF I did that I would have a gain of 3 pounds on the scale the next day- and Corey is over 6'2" and 135 lbs soaking wet!  Frustrating!
We decided we'd still have Poker- there were 10 of us.  (kelsey and pat wrapped instead of played).
I came in 1st, Randy in 2nd, Corey 3rd.
Then after Randy, Kelsey, Pat, Brandi, Corey, and I played 2 games of Apples to Apples till 1:45 a.m.
We had a thunderstorm at 2 a.m.!

Good day- but oh so busy.  I could not fall asleep till after 3 a.m. and was awake by 6:45 a.m. (but not up till 7:30 a.m.)
Got my breakfast casserole in the oven, and then got ready.  Brandi, Corey, and Adrienne here at 9 a.m. and the twins here about 9:30.  We ate breakfast and then opened gifts.  Unfortunately B, C, and A also had to go to Jim and Karens so they left about 11:15.  The twins also left then.
Pat came about noon and we all played games all day long!  2 games of Apples to Apples, a game of Taboo, and guitar hero (which Kels and i got for Randy).
At about 7 Pat and Kelsey went back to Pat's.
I started dinner for tomorrow (marinated the chicken and boiled eggs for deviled eggs) and then did dishes AGAIN!
Finally around 9:30 I walked 4+ miles.  I really didn't want to because I am so tired and feel like I am coming down with a cold.  BUT I saw I am in 5th place in one of the challenges and it would be so nice not to finish in the bottom 10% for once!
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve.  Worked again!  Short again- actually shorter than yesterday.  Get so sick of that place.  Worked with 2 and a trainee. (Kelly S.)
Home- finished making my Sausage/Egg casserole for breakfast tomorrow morning  (well Randy had cooked the sausage), put together the stockings, vacuumed, did dishes, etc...
It is now 2 a.m. and e1 will be here @ 9 a.m. so I better get to bed!

Worked tonight (short like usual).
Home @ 11 and spent a couple more hours wrapping/sorting, etc...  Eh!  Really can't wait for all this hoopla to be done and over.  The shopping, the wrapping, the money, the stress, the high calorie-low nutritional food that is ALL over at work-eh!  It is too bad that such a wonderful holiday has to cause so much stress.

Crappy day, esp. in the morning.  Snowing, blowing, drifting, way below 0 wind chills.  Needless to say school was closed- at least Kelsey was happy w/ the weather!
I talked Randy into calling into work because I hate him driving so far when it is so bad.
Anyways we slept in. Got up.  Randy and I both did cardio, except mine was on the t/m and his was shoveling!
Cleaned some, and then got ready and went to Brandi and Corey's for dinner. She made crazy lasagna, mixed veggies, and breadsticks.  It was good.  After we played a game of Free For All Yahtzee.  (think Corey won).
Left there around 8.  Home for a minute and then Randy and I went to Walmart and then to Tops to get stuff for Christmas.
Later after they went to bed I wrapped some more, and did a bit more cleaning.

Worked 3-11.  Home, walked on the t/m. 
Bad day-weather wise.  Snowing and blowing, and temps only about 5 degrees.
Yuck.

Walked 65 minutes on the t/m.
Randy went down to his parents and helped his mom with her PC, and his dad with his tractor.
Later we went shopping at Walmart.  I think we're almost done except for Laura and dad.
Got Chinese to take home.
Then we wrapped from like 11 p.m.- 1:30 a.m.
Played some online poker and went to bed at like 3:30 a.m.

No school today.  Kelsey woke Randy and I up at 6:15 w/ a screech when she got the call that there was no school! It was funny cuz @ that time nothing was happening but during the day we got about 8-10".
They let Randy out at 1, after his Christmas party, because of the roads.
He got home and played "Call of Duty" for a couple hours!  Addicted!~
Played Poker @ Toms.  Randy came in 1st, I took Tom out so I got the bounty.
