My X'mas Break

Time: 11:43pm
Mood: Sleepy (boy am I old...)
Song of the moment: Ok Go - Here It Goes

It's near the end of my week off and I must say I am well rested :D I really needed this time to unwind, considering it's going to get pretty crazy for me really soon.

To sum up my holiday, I went to:

1 wedding (Elizabeth and Andrew's wedding)
2 house parties
5 family meals
1 mall (I tired as best as possible to avoid those!)
Numerous friend gatherings

I didn't go boxing day shopping - I usually brave the weather and head downtown, but this year I'm broke so no shopping for me.. and the fact that Jimmy and I just bought a washer/dryer set online (Future Shop was having their boxing day sale at 8:00pm Dec. 24th. We saved $800!). Acutally we ran into some problems with regards to the delivery time of the washer/dryer set that resulted in me saving an additional $75 b/c Future Shop screwed up and I got pissed off. It pays to be bitchy!

I got some pretty cool gifts this year, which includes high-end frying pans from my parents, a apron from my sister and soap products from Sephora. I think my friends and family are trying to say I should learn how to cook and shower more (haha!). If you guys are wondering what Jimmy got me for x'mas - Season 1 & 2 DVD of my favorite cartoon - Anamaniacs :D I love my Yakko, Wakko and Dot! :D Fabooooo!

Over the holidays I spent much time at my new house, putting in extra screws and nails on into the floorboards (or as Jimmy put it, we spent the day "nailing and screwing" LoL!). We were there on X'mas eve, X'mas day and Boxing day! This is to prevent future squeeky floors. I bumped into Charlene over the holidays, and she told me her floors were already squeeking - and she moved in her new house in June! Our floors better not squeek or I'm going to scream!

Here are just some photos I took over the holidays:


The progress of our house - we have shingles, windows and doors now! :D And the extra screws we put in! Yipee!




Elizabeth and Andrew's wedding - Elizabeth is an old elementry/HS friend of mines. She looked absolutely stunning that day, and I was so happy I was part of it!









The Edgevale Gals - Rosie, Me, Suzanne and Kathy. I met up with my old housemates from my days @ Mac. I miss living w/ them! They were the best housemates!



Jimmy's 'lil experiment - he took apart a LCD monitor he had, attached the screen to an overhead projector. Now we are able to watch dl-ed shows and movies from his computer on his wall!



My year-end review to come tomorrow :D
