I can't feel my ears
It got up to a balmy 11 degrees here in Chicago today. One more thing I will be thankful for this holiday season is the seat heater in my car. :P
Speaking of the car, I finally got it washed on Saturday. It was about 95% covered in road salt and grime. Apparently many people in my neighborhood had the same idea; the first time I drove to the hand car wash place there was a long line of cars waiting outside the entry door. I came back a few hours later and the wait wasn't so bad. I'm just glad I can see the true color of my car again!
When I arrived at my parents' house on Sunday, Mocha was wearing a sweater, LOL. It was given to him by Tita Cora who used to put it on her dog Richie. Mocha was none too pleased with it though. It seemed to bog him down quite a bit. For instance, he hobbled slowly up and down the stairs instead of sprinting like he usually does. He was so glad when Mom removed the sweater when we got home from church.
Also on Sunday I met Lori's boyfriend (oOoOo) who came by the house with his sister. They went out to dinner (though I guess Lori couldn't eat much since she had just had her wisdom teeth pulled on Saturday). Mocha went nuts when they came in and I was trying to grab him and settle him down, so I didn't get to talk much with them. But they seemed nice in the brief interaction I had with them. :)
Tonight the fam and I went to the Simbang Gabi (Evening Mass, a Filipino tradition around Christmas time) at our church. It was a nice service, but at the dinner buffet afterwards in the church hall there was an extreme shortage of seating and table space. Though I guess that means the mass was well-attended, which is always good.
Only five more days till Christmas! We're having a family/friend get-together at Tita Marie's on Christmas Eve. I still have a couple gifts to buy!
