I'm all shook up

Today is my last day in the office before Christmas, and I'm quite excited to catch my flight at 5:30pm today. Although am quite nervous about the forecasted freezing rain that's due around my take-off time....if my plane is grounded, I will be very upset!!

Anyway, at the office, things are rather mellow and festive. My colleague brought in some homemade Bailey's and cookies, someone else brewed a big pot of coffee, and we all got giddy with caffeine and booze before the clock had even chimed 9am....I love the festive season around the office, haha! Now for those who know me, know that I am not a coffee drinker, so after two big cups of coffee with a titch of Bailey's in it, I was soon jittery, inattentive and headachey. But that's passed and now I'm simply hungry, as it's nearly noon (can't believe how fast the day is flying considering I'm not doing much, except blogging!).

Mark has the day off today and was kind enough to drive me to work this morning with my relatively heavy and awkward suitcases. Later today he's driving home to Innerkip, a lonely (without me) long drive. As a surprise, when I got out of the car this morning, I left an early Christmas gift on the front seat for him, with the instruction not to open until his has left for Innerkip (it's the Pink Floyd CD he wanted). I figure he'll have a more enjoyable ride with some awesome tunes!! (I trust he isn't going to read our blog before he leaves today...especially since he never reads it unless I ask him to).

I hope he's emptied the garbage in the kitchen before he leaves.....
