The cake was great, thanks for asking! He came over around 6:30, the kids were eating dinner. Then they gave him his presents and we had cake.
He was overwhelmed by his present, wasn't expecting that much. The kids got him a DVD player w/blu ray and the Hangover DVD on blu ray.
I figure, he spent that much on me for the tree, plus the tile for Christmas...besides he will need some new stuff for the new house and the kids will be the ones primarily benefitting from the dvd player. They got him a card where you can record a meesage so I let them put their voices on it. For Christmas he is getting the Star Wars Clone Wars and Transformers on DVD/blu ray from the kids. Again, something they will enjoy as much as he will, if not more!
In other news, I haven't heard from my attorney yet re. the petition and I am a little concerned. I met last week to write it up and he said he would email me a copy in 2-3 days. Which would have been Thurs/Fri. For tax purposes it really needs to be in and signed by Dec. 31!
Also, I got another email from CA Saturday night. He and I have emailed several times now in addition to the one 'date/meetup'.
I had emailed him Fri and said I didn't know if I should thank him or kick him--he suggested a design program for Nathan to try out from google and now Nathan pesters me to use it! Well he replied back something to the effect of 'I might like that if you kicked me'...so I think that was his attempt at being playful. That is what I don't like about email, it is harder without nonverbals/facial expressions! Anyway he said he is going to drive to Chicago for Christmas so we won't be getting together until after that...
Speaking of Christmas, we will be housebound by then! Freezing rain tomorrow, sleet on Wed. Up to 1/4" accumulation of ice expected, followed by 7-14" snow on Wed/Thurs. Merry Merry Christmas!
Oh well...at least I am not planning on going anywhere. The kids are supposed to go 60 miles from here on Christmas eve to see Dan's sister and the rest of his family. I hope if they go they are able to get back in time to see me Christmas morning. If they don't I would understand, I don't want them to be hurt on the roads. But that would just suck...
