Christmas

I’ve been off work since last Tuesday afternoon. Bryan and I saw the hobbit Wednesday morning so we could get the little old lady price of $6 a ticket. Being unemployed has its benefits. It was better than I thought it would be, though like the other movies, frelling long. I didn’t fall asleep though, that’s how I know it was good. You’d think I have low standards but I’ve fallen asleep during a cirque du soleil show and a broadway show before.

Spent the rest of the week watching Dexter, playing You Don’t Know Jack, cleaning… Saturday we went to Ellen’s birthday at this adorable Mexican restaurant. The food was good and the drinks made us very silly. We had a good time.

I stayed at my parents and came back with them on Tuesday for Christmas. Everyone came to our place again and brought enough food to feed us five times over. Son good though. Especially Lyn’s lasagne. There wasn’t much of that leftover. I made spaghetti squash. There was a lot of that left.

Ah dessert. The best part. While my ice cream was a hit, Lyn’s cheesecake was quite possibly the best cheesecake ever. Why is homemade cheesecake always so much better? There was also peppermint cake and cookies which we still have in our house so I can expect to go back to work about five pounds heavier.

Though I have my new fitbit. It’s a glorified pedometer that syncs with my iPad and can sleep too. It’s a neat little gadget. We also got the slow cooker as on my wishlist, some Doctor Who items, a robe, comfy long underwear that I’m wearing right now :) pretty ornaments, Mickey earrings and a necklace, lots of bath goodies. I finally got the thing for the car to play music and talk on the phone through the radio, but as you know, my car is out of commission for a little while longer.

I should have asked for gloves. I lost one I think at the body shop when I was there for my estimate. I should call them to see. This is me being lazy. I should do a lot of things. Oh well, I vacuumed, that’s enough.
