There’s not much to write about.
We’re so busy.
Drew’s swamped with school and upcoming test.
Savitri is finishing up a class and getting ready for two spring ones.
Emma think Santa is going to come tomorrow.
We’re quite happy.
The family’s doing great.
The pup is learning and growing.
The dog and cat plays.
I’ve got Christmas stuff all over the living room.
Not motivated to finish decorating.
Can I just sit and not do anything? :)

Here’s my office… geek la ville :D
[thumb:1682:l] This is the current love of my work life. My 30″ screen and as you can see, when it’s in screen saver mode, I get a good view of some pacific island beach. My machine, or my Mac, is a super computer. It’s got everything plus 8 gigs or ram and who knows what fast processor it’s got. It’s very nice but sometimes I find it still lagging. I’m not sure what it is that’s causing it. But in this machine I have the typical Apache and it’s family running and also a ColdFusion server. I run Joomla locally and I can work and view my CF pages on my Mac. I also have all the version of Adobe since version 7 to CS3. There are tons of cool free software too, like Adium, Cyberduck, etc. installed. And oh, I can share files between the Mac and the PC :D My PC is nice too but since the Mac is only a few months old compare to a two year old PC I’m a bit partial :D

I have this obsession, or desire, to move or at least check out Vermont. If you read the previous post you would have read about the different states that I’m interested in. I have no stinkin’ idea why or how I got to VT but I really want to go there. I looked at houses a few days ago, in Stowe. There’s this one super cute one for $299k. Love it!

Think we’re going to do two U.S. trips next year. One to Idaho and another to Texas. I really miss Idaho, the Boise market (especially), the friends, and the northern parts.

Lets start with Christmas… asked Emma what she wants and she said she wants three things from Santa. A cash register, a computer like mommy’s (pink) and a sleeping bag. I asked her what she wants from daddy and she said a boy Bratz kid for her girl one. Finally I asked her what she wants from mommy and she said that she has a lot of toys already. I asked her if she wants clothes and she said no. She then said that I can buy for another little girl who doesn’t have a lot of toys. I asked her again to make sure and that’s what she wanted. So this Christmas Emma’s going to help me buy for another little girl instead of getting a present from me. I’m not sure if fully understands this but we’re so very proud of her!!
