December 6, 7 & 8, 2011
The week was busy at work and also at home. Had a two-hour city council meeting on the 6th which included extensive discussion about the possibility of a new economic development director. Wednesday evening I assembled a Barbie Princess Castle for our friends, John and Tina Maroquin. They are both real busy and wanted to keep the Christmas present a secret from little Mollie. Tina offered me cash which I of course refused, and John did bring me a nice bottle of Australian Merlot for my labor!

Sharon worked in Lincoln until 5:00 so I caught a ride to Lincoln with my boss and met Sharon for dinner at the Oven. After a nice feast of chicken korma, we headed over to the Lied Center to watch Annie and her boyfriend Jason perform in the UNL marching band's year-end performance. They had an awesome performance before a packed house. I was reminded once again of the excellent acoustics in the Lied.

After an early, chilly walk outside, Saturday was spent working on various projects around the house and making another batch of grilled pizza crusts. With the weather moderating a bit I was also able to scrape most all of the snow off the walks and driveway. Annie & Jason came to do laundry and Jason hung out with us while Annie worked. Sharon, Jason and I watched the move "The Help" and I fell asleep before it ended as usual.

Sunday was a welcome day off for Sharon. We enjoyed a long but intense walk outside to start things off. I made omlouettes and Sharon made rasberry scones for breakfast - yum! The day was filled with getting lots of projects done and also paying a visit to the Christmas tree farm. We almost bought a small one but didn't quite feel we could justify $60 for such a small tree that would only be up for a couple of weeks. Next year we hope to be better organized earlier in the season. Sharon got the office totally cleaned and organized to we can start the process of messing it up all over again.
