So, I had two physical therapy sessions. I got to start moving my arm a little. Sure not much, 110 and 15 degrees (compared to the 90 my arm is locked at). I have 10 more sessions...I hope to recover fast! I want to get back out there!

I'm trekking along at school. Next week will be my final week prior either taking 2 or 1 more class (still need to sort this out). And then? And then? DONE! OOh, OOh, I'm so excited!

Jada got attacked by a Mastiff the other day :(. She's ok, had a couple bite marks, but nothing that really broke the skin. We were taking a walk and the dog darted across the street from an open garage. They did very little sniffing before scuffling. I'm glad I didn't need to take her to the vet! Hercules was the dog's name...so, yea, he was big.

I got my Christmas tree over the weekend. THanks to Rox and April for helping! I'm a little useless right now, although they needed help so I was able to carry the top of the tree :P. THe tree is about 10' tall and is beautiful! We put it in the living room this year vs. the office and front window. Sure, I'd like to see the lights and tree from the front of the house, but it feels better in the living room, next to the fire :). I want to spend my Christmas here!

I've done very little CHristmas shopping, a total of 2 gifts so far. Yes, I know, we're a week away. I suck and despise shopping. Argh, I need to finish this :(.

CHristmas lights aren't on the house yet. I obviously need help with that too. They should have already been up and could have been up last Saturday, but it was cold and I lagged...

Last weekend I went to my friend, Rad's work's CHristmas party. It was at a Illusion's in Palo Alto. The place was nice and they had an AWESOME 10 piece band! They played Jazz, Reggae and a little Blues (more like 'new Jazz). I need to get the name of them. I would have them at my wedding, that's how good they were!

I went to my friend, Cindy's 'Naughty or Nice' Christmas party on Saturday. It was fun hanging out... you know the usual...Sierra Nevada and Jager :). I got a naughty gift that I left at their house... she is probably not going to be too happy, but Marco will! :P

I finally got to hang out with a long time friend, Keith. We hung out, chatted and ate some dinner. We haven't seen each other in 2 yrs., but have IM'ed each other often. He's a great friend and is incredibly knowledgable. Too bad he lives in DC.

Well, I'm half way done with my final assignment, but want to get some sleep. I've had 7 & 8 am meetings for the last two days and tackling it again tomorrow...makes for such a long day!
