Merry Christmas everyone!

I got some awesome presents, I was a very lucky girl yesterday!

Steve got me Armani Code perfume, a new hairdryer that dried my hair in 4 minutes flat this morning, some AMAZING new Shure headphones- I was blown away yesterday by how good they sound, the new Snow Patrol best of CD with the DVD as well, and chocolate/sweets. And a new Barefoot Contessa book- I am a HUGE Ina Garten fan and it's the Barefoot Contessa At Home and I've already cooked recipes from it tonight! My mum and dad got us a Magimix food processor which is just the most AWESOME thing ever, plus a remote-control flying helicopter for Steve and a bag of toiletries for me. Steve's dad gave us both money, and Steve used his to buy a Blu-Ray player in the Boxing Day sales, so we're just sitting down to watch Star Trek on it now

Yesterday we spent the day at my parent's house, eating and drinking far too much and we had a really nice day

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

It was an interesting year.. we got the assorted small things.. gift cards.. things like that..

My personal most favorite gift was these shoes..because there is nothing better than Chuck Taylor Converse.. and AC/DC..

http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/con3.jpg


I also got treated to seeing Avatar in 3-D and the Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Day..

I guess our biggest family gift..which has ended up being a league gift..is my ex husband, mr money bags, has done something really exceptionally decent, and is in the process of closing on a piece of property for me and the boys..which.. here it is..

(and I will prolly never get another danged thing out of him.. which considering the size of this gift.. that's just fine by me..this is something the boys can have long after I have outlived my usefulness...)

We got bad news in the form of my friend Debbie passed away due to cervical and ovarian cancer Dec 19th.. she was 36, and my friend Melinda's husband who is 34 has days to live due to stomach cancer, that they didn't discover till 6 months ago, leaving behind 2 small children...so it makes me very thankful for the people I do have in my life..

[SunnyCait]

Very very pleased with Christmas this year... But it's not ever like that haha!!! This Christmas was just weird because I've been working a lot, and dad got this awesome job overseas... That's really why it was so good. Lots of hard work behind this Christmas.

Interesting to see what everyone else got! I think Zin got the coolest thing. A skating rink! And why is Pebbles getting sub q fluids? Did I miss something?

I got several books, 1 cook book, a sterling silver bunny pendant, a CD, a pretty vase, a Joann's gift card, a Chia Herb Garden. Everything is great. Paul and I had a lovely Christmas. It was our first actually together, even though we've been together for almost 4 years. All the other Christmases we spent with our individual families! We're getting married this August though so this Christmas is the first of many we'll spend together. I'm so glad We slept in, opened presents, cooked, went to a friend's house for a few hours and had a great dinner, then came home and watched some Christmasy movies. It was a wonderful day.

 

[GoinBackToCali]

Well, for my ex's part. it was more a gift for his kids.. a perpetual gift.. and less work for him in the long run..

When I first co-founded Gulf Coast Rollergirls Version 1.. we were at this little podunk rink, with crappy floors, and just bad everything, in a small town...my hometown..lol

My co founder..(which we later abandoned that rink, and phased her out due to her severe emotional abuse of all the girls)...before she got too comfy in our friendship, and started her crap, I was with her alot, so I saw the business end of a skating rink..on a Friday and Saturday night, she charges $6 a kid to get in..you walk in on those nights, and there is never any less than 300 kids in there..plum party days..which are Saturday and Sunday.. she would do 18 parties a day..so 36 parties a weekend, at $100 a party...

That's NOT counting the Tuesday night she was open..and then general admission for both Saturday and Sunday day..AND all the privately booked parties she books during the week at $150 a pop, which she had anywhere between 10 to 20 depending on the season..

Her skate floor was 120ft long and 50 ft wide, and had not been resurfaced since it was built in 82...they have a small snack bar area and thats it.

The rink we moved to..and Rick ended up buying, the skate floor ALONE in 2400 sq ft.. they have a kiddie area for the little ones to learn to skate.. a dance floor.. a huge carpeted area.. NICE snack bar.. huge eating area, pool tables.. private party rooms, and the floor was resurfaced 2 months ago..

She charges $8 bucks a head to get in..parties on Sat and Sun are $150.. pvt parties same price..

On the property is also a day care that comes with the package that's rented out, and the total area is on 3 acres..

So Ricks thinking wasnt so much as "hey this would be a nice thing to do.."..lol it was more.. in this recession.. kids always need something to do, skating never goes out of style, this rink has been around for 30 years. It's something the boys will have when i'm gone.. they can work it now, as can their friends, cause NOBODY is hiring around here.. make a bit of money... and us being a bit more self sufficient takes alot of the heat off him.

Plus I am moving my nice double wide on the property behind the rink...with a privacy fence up.. and selling this property..

So for once.. he put his money where his mouth is.. and did something FANTASTIC!!!
