So I'm off to the Cleveland area today to spend Christmas with my family.  I am very tired after all the running around last night.  I had to rush home from work and gather up a bunch of stuff and then take Yuli (my dog) to my friend Pam's.  Then to the store and then to Skot's to drop off gifts for his mom and sisters.  Then home to do laundry and pack and hope I remember everything.

My sister is picking me up at the airport and then we will go to my mom's house.  I am looking so forward to seeing everyone and having a wonderful Christmas.  I am going to make a concentrated effort to be extra nice and no confrontations with my mom and sister over religion.  I love them both so much and they've been sucked into one of those evangelical churches that teaches you to hate other people unlike you under the guise of being Christian and doing God's work and all that stuff.  But I am not even thinking about it.  I only want happy thoughts.

I'm not looking forward to the flight.  As I sit here at work counting down to the time to go to the airport.  But the weather is nice here today and should be OK in Cleveland too.

I don't know how much I'll get to blog while I'm at my parents.  They still use dial up.  I got them a great new PC for Christmas.  I think my brother is getting them DSL to go with it.  Just looking forward to seeing all the people I love.
