So have you recovered from Christmas yet?  We are still suffering the aftereffects of too many Christmas cookies.  Sure we are on our own this holiday season, but that has not stopped us from cooking like the gang was all here.  We had a turkey with all the fixings for Christmas dinner and a batch each of gingerbread and sugar cookies.  The last few days we have been eating leftovers and are down to turkey soup for dinner tonight.

The day after Christmas we figured we would brave the crowds and see if there were any good sales.  But to our amazement there were no crowds.  I don't know if that was just an Albuquerque thing or if it is because of the economy, but it was quiet enough that we even went to Wal-Mart.  But it was towards the end of the shopping trip that we saw something we thought we would never see again.


No we expected the snow.  But diesel fuel was selling for less than two dollars a gallon!  We got some weird looks when we got out of our truck and were doing the happy dance in the middle of the road.  But I'm convinced that these prices won't last, so I'm still pushing for an in-bed fuel tank for our truck.

Next week we start back to work.  The temp agencies we have gotten work through in the past already have stuff lined up for us, so we have been getting in all the lazing we can this weekend.  We have also been adding in our old posts to the blog.  You can navigate the blogs by using the buttons at the bottom of the blog or the calendar.  And the comment screen should be working again if anyone wants to give us a shout out.
