I'm not sure if it'll be a power weekend but who's studying over the Christmas weekend?? I'll try to get sometime in. If I can. How about everyone else? What's everyone's plans??

My Dad is coming over on Christmas Eve and spending the day and night with us. Then Christmas Day, we'll have the morning with the kids, and the remaining of the day with my husband's family (My Dad comes with us, we don't want to leave him alone on Christmas, it's hard enough that my Mom passed away 7 years ago. She loved going to my in-laws for the holidays.)

Somewhere in between all that Roger and I have to spend sometime together.

Since 2008....

Merry Christmas!!!!

I am going to try and be like JoMarie and squeeze in what I can. I have budgeted 4 hours today, and then 1 hour each on Christmas eve and Christmas Day. I figure that one hour is quick and wouldn't really disrupt the holiday for the family. Hopefully I can make my budget.

Going to hang loose, my family is back in Chicago, but my hubby's parents live very close to us. So, we will be hanging with Gramps and Grandma for the holiday. Should be fun.

@JoMarie, do you and the girls keep an eye on Santa on that "norad" website? Gosh, I remember my guys totally glued to the computer watching where Santa was..and where he was going! Great memories.

Have a great holiday guys, enjoy the time with family and friends.
~ Cheers to all.

@yankee - yeah we'll have to watch Santa on "norad". My oldest one is really into it this year. I better enjoy it before she finds out who Santa really is.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I am in! I am hoping to get 5 hours in today, and hopefully 8 on both Sunday and Monday. Tonight we are going to the in-laws for dinner and tomorrow to my parents. I am in need of working in workouts into my schedule, my clothes are getting really tight so I am going to head to the gym now and then come home and study until dinner time.

I wish you all a good day studying if that is what you are going to be doing today...if not enjoy the holiday, it only comes once a year. :)

FAR - 5/31

I feel so guilty. Only got 1.5 hours in today. I hope to put 1.5 hours more by making flashcards before the night ends.

I can't do it any more tonight! If I see one more like kind exchange or gift of appreciated stock I'm going to lose it! Lets face facts here, has ANYONE ever been given stock worth $150,000 because some rich old aunt wants to? I would have to venture a guess that it happens once in a blue moon and then when it does happen the rest of the family says the old aunt has Alzheimers and should get the stock back!

I think I will eat some supper, take a hot bath and curl up in the bed with my Kindle. Of course the Kindle has two books on it and I'm going to read REG 2012! Such an exciting life I lead!!!! My hand is actually freezing from holding the mouse for 4 hours straight!

Good Night All!

I'm pretty proud of myself. With the Christmas craziness I watched about 3 hours worth of lectures today and work on about 60 or 70 MCQs yesterday, between the drive to my mother-in-law's and while the kids were playing and others watching tv.
