VERY cold.<\/p>\n<p>clearly, though, my husband didn\u2019t care that it was cold and rainy and even very very cold inside the barn where they were performing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/kevin comp2.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"kevin 2\" \/><\/p>\n<p>he\u2019s a cheerful guy anyway.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/kevin comp1.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"one more\" \/><\/p>\n<p>one more photo of him, loving playing that guitar.  he\u2019s going to be in southern illinois on our FIRST NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE TOGETHER AS MAN AND WIFE, which doesn\u2019t thrill me.  plus, he\u2019s spending the night in LITCHFIELD, and since he\u2019ll be that close i keep thinking I\u2019LL JUST DRIVE DOWN THERE AND STAY WITH HIM.  but if it\u2019s such a dangerous time that even HE thinks it\u2019s too dangerous to be on the highway, then perhaps i shouldn\u2019t be on the highway either.  <\/p>\n<p>he\u2019s such a nice person, here\u2019s what he gave the fencers in fencing class &#8211; he fenced against each of us and let us all win.  the spastic nine year-old, who always JUST WANTS TO FENCE, was especially thrilled that he won.  i was even forced to fence against the spastic 9YO because i\u2019m left-handed and left-handed fencers aren\u2019t that common.  <\/p>\n<p>tonight we watched &#8220;elf,&#8221; which is a FANTASTIC movie and makes me laugh a lot.  well, i don\u2019t actually laugh that much because something has to be really funny to make me laugh and i\u2019m pretty cynical about what\u2019s actually funny.  but elf, a really great xmas movie.<\/p>\n<p>new year\u2019s eve performance, coming right up, i think i need to start trying to psych myself into thinking about the reality of doing another show in just a few days.  theoretically it\u2019s going to be quite funny.<\/p>\n<p>but only in theory, till it actually happens.<\/p>\n<p>i hope your xmas was everything you wanted it to be, or at least i hope your family didn\u2019t annoy you too much.  not that they would, i probably don\u2019t even KNOW your family, but it does seem that the holiday can bring out annoyance in people.<\/p>\n<p>goodnight goodnight goodnight.<\/p>\n<p>grace.<\/p>\n<p>p.s. i think the week between xmas and new year\u2019s should be a MANDATORY HOLIDAY for ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY.  i personally don\u2019t feel like doing anything but tomorrow i must do a bunch of stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>randy was feeling it, and so was i. i\u2019ve been fighting it all day, though. i worked out for quite a long time at the fit club, except when i stepped on the treadmill and was treading for a minute or two it suddenly ground to a halt and said REPAIR NEEDED so i had [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-cu","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
