Double the Fun!
Because Blog Land just can't get enough of my long-winded chatter, I am going for two posts today - one in the morning and one later tonight! Either I'm feeling especially inspired to write or there's a lot going on in my life. :)
It's been great coming back to work at the Chick-Fil-A in Greenville Mall. I've been there for more than 4 years, since 9th grade summer, and business has steadily declined with the loss of our anchor stores such as Dillards, Profitts, and Montgomery Ward. Our food court could hardly pass for the term now, as it's just our unit and the fine folks of Oriental Express. Seriously. But the arrival of the holiday season coupled with regular nightly visits from good old Santa Claus has spiked business up nicely. We've actually had rushes of customers the past two days, something that we used to take for granted but has become rarer and rarer with the passage of time. I will personally make certain that jolly old St. Nick receives a little token of our appreciation tonight during my shift. I'll bet he'll enjoy our golden-brown chicken nuggets and lemonade more than the same old cookies and milk. :P
Nice to hear that HIS Radio, 89.3 FM, will be running 48 consecutive hours of Christmas music commercial free on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I guess that means the anchors will get to spend time with their families. :)
Christmas Eve is going to be great. We'll be sticking close to tradition again this year. We'll head to Whitmire by about 4:00, which is about an hour from Columbia, to meet up with my grandparents, or my mother's family. I want to catch the early Christmas Eve service at the local church in Whitmire so that we'll have the evening hours all to ourselves. Last year was excellent, and I have no doubt this year's service will be just as good. I've wanted to catch a Candlelight service at my church in Simpsonville often, but I suppose that won't happen this year. But anyway, then we'll have dinner at my aunt and uncle's place, where I'm sure he and my grandfather will have on display their proud catch of deer meat. They're deer hunters, and they took my little brother with them in the fall. We'll exchange gifts soon after that, and I believe my aunt, uncle and cousin from Spartanburg will be coming up to join us. I would've seen them last Sunday, but we canceled our luncheon because of my mother's operation.
My mother's getting along really well. She still gets a little winded after putting in a good day's work, but she's fully able to perform her daily tasks again with relative ease. Now she'll have a month's good health before the next operation in early February. Eep...
I finally managed to sneak in a workout this morning. With my exam schedule last week and being on vacation for this past week, I've allowed myself to fall behind on my exercise routine. Can't have that. Still, I kept things fairly light with a good jog interspersed with some power-walking intervals, and some resistance training in the middle of everything. My church gym isn't the Physical Activities Center at Furman, but it was good enough.
I'll have my usual Song and Verse of the Day sometime later tonight! Until then, excelsior!
