It's almost here ....... last day of work & Christmas
I'm still shooting my bow. No pictures yet (maybe next week). I'm getting okay. I'm really trying to work on my form so I'm changing things a lot, causing me to not always hit my target. I shot for about 30 min last night. My arm's not to sore, so I'm getting use to it. My elbow still hurts some, but not as much as it did and every once in a while my shoulder will hurt, but I can live with both. There was a period of about 3 weeks where I thought I was going to have to cut my elbow off. Tennis elbow really hurts.
Christmas is almost here and I feel bad. By the time I get Emilee finished and get all the stuff I need to do parties, Christmas dinner and food for the house, I'm out of money to really get Steve something nice. He's getting 3 wrapped presents and $100 cash. I think I ended up spending about $230 counting his cash. I know he spent more on me, but I'm all he spends his X-mas saving on. I use mine on all of Emilee's presents, plus mom & dad and the few "others" I have to do. He's okay with it though it seems. But I feel bad. Every year I vow not to use my credit cards for any Christmas presents. Last year we did a little, but it was interest free and we paid it off within the year. I think I might have to break that vow and get Steve a little something else - although I'm not sure what! Something hunting related? Clothes? He really needs a nice Titans t-shirt & sweatshirt ... maybe?
I'm almost ready to leave work. Gotta run to the CU and bookstore, meet Dean W to give him a present and then off to get Em at school. Then gotta take back a present to exchange for the right size (bought a pair of shoes in 2 different sizes and didn't know it)
I pray that everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'll post pictures after Christmas, as our family is getting suprise this year that only a few of us know about. My dad doesn't know and he's going to be sooooo suprised!
Christy .... out!

All I want for Christmas
I've already gotten my Christmas gift from DH..... a completely outfitted bow. So, he's finished with me, cause he's got about $500 wrapped up in it!
But I still want:
- Gift Certificate to Bass Pro (to get stuff to hunt with, especially safety harness which is about $150.00)
- Clothes
- Antique library cabinet (dad is getting this for me!)
- New dishes (already picked them out)
- New Silverware (mom & dad already got this)
- iTunes card
- New towels
- Knives for kitchen
I'm sure there is more stuff, but that's about the jest of it. As you can see I'm already getting some of it. The library cabinet my parents are getting a steal on. The place where I got Em's bed has it and the lady said I could have it for like $150.00. But now I'm "selling" her Em's headboard and footboard and she's giving me the cabinet for $100. So worth it with all the storage I can get from it .... stamping storage! And the top of it will make a perfect stamping spot! I can't wait to get it and at least get it cleaned up.
Christmas shopping is almost done for me. After getting Em's clothes this coming Friday (taking a day off to shop with Nana) I'll be finished with her (other than stocking stuffers) and I'm almost finished with Steve - just a few more things for him. Then my parents are all I'll have left.
We put up our tree last night. I need to take a pictures and post it. It really needs more ornaments on it, but I really want all clear or white ornaments and just need a few more boxes of glass balls to finish it off.
Gotta go get Em at cheer practice. More later!
