Christmas Weekend Re-Cap

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I had a great holiday. Kenny spoiled me with so much loot! I am working on a list of gifts that I will post later… For now, here is the holiday weekend re-cap:

Thursday night: Since we were both taking Friday off, Kenny and I decided Thursday night to head down to the Houston MFA. It was their weekly free day and I wanted to see the dog exhibit before it was gone. I also got to see a lovely photography exhibit. It was wonderful to be at the museum at night and there were no crowds. Kenny says he wants to always go on Thursday nights from now on, it was such a great way to enjoy the artwork.

Friday: This was a very lazy day. I can’t even remember what we did (or didn’t do). I do remember going to a salsa training class that evening. And I remember *still* not feeling 100% better in terms of my head cold. Maybe that is why we were so lazy…

Saturday: All the Christmas shopping was done but I still had not mailed some packages out (I know, I know, bad Elaine). We got the packages mailed and afterward hit Best Buy to tentatively look at PDA options (my Palm Zire is having sync issues). We were surprised to find out Best Buy no longer carries PDA’s – most stores do not since PDA’s are not “the thing” anymore – and instead were sucked into the cell phone section. Now I did not want to give up my trusty old Samsung but the reality was that it was starting to die on me. And although I had looked before I had not found anything I liked. Until I saw the Samsung A900. What a beauty! Half an hour later it was mine and I was annoying Kenny with the camera phone. LOL

And to show you how loyal I was to my old phone, I found out I had had it since December 2002, exactly 4 years. That is ancient in terms of cell phone longevity nowadays!

So, yeah, I feel like I am finally in the 21st century – I’ve got picture mail & internet access (had it but at a cost and it was very slow so I never used it). I can check my blog on my phone, get movie times, check the weather, post pictures to Flickr. Man, I didn’t know what I was missing! And all for no additional cost on my plan. Heck, my plan went down a couple of bucks! Thanks Sprint!

Spent the rest of the day shopping for ourselves, enjoying ourselves. Well, except when Kenny accidentally ran over a glass bottle and slashed open his tire. Thankfully it was fixed within 30 minutes though!

Sunday – Monday: We headed up to Waxahachie (just outside Dallas) with the dogs to spend Christmas with Kenny’s side of the family.

Tuesday: Slept in, tidied up a bit then decided to actually get out of the house. We got a late start but managed to fit in some geocaching which we had not done in a while (found 5 caches, even in the dark), had a lovely dinner at Empire Cafe and caught the latest James Bond film.

I’ve got pictures to post from the weekend which I will do so tonight!

How was your holiday weekend??
