The rain keeps on coming! It's so depressing. It never snows here, so we can count out a white Christmas, but the damn rain is annoying. Unfortunately, we're traveling to see the in-laws later this week in the southern part of the state, and it's raining there as well. Lovely!

We did most of our errands today, so that means tomorrow we'll have all day to lounge about and watch the DVR. We got a head start today with a few episodes of Burn Notice and Psych, as well as feel-good movie Love Actually. We've already seen TRON: Legacy a good week ago, and nothing else of interest is playing at the movie theater, so that's out.

This weekend we have no big plans. Christmas cards to write, some various mailings to send out, and a few chores, but mostly catching up on our DVR and maybe a movie left or right. It's storming outside, with heavy winds and rain, so it's not really prime time to go hiking or doing outdoorsy stuff.

We got some more decorations, mainly lights, to hang outside, so maybe if it lets up for half an hour here or there, I can get that started before it actually IS Christmas.

Now that my gaming computer is up and running at full speed, I'll be doing some tinkering with the office computers. It'll be quiet anyhow, so it's the perfect time to take them all apart.
