Christmas Wrapping!

Yay! Tonight I finished almost all of my Christmas wrapping. It feels so good to be done school, done x-mas shopping, and done wrapping presents. I really like wrapping presents, doing Christmas cards and baking. I think I might offer to wrap my moms presents for her. I will charge a small fee per package... Just kidding.

Tommorrow night is Chris' work Christmas party at the Pan Pacific. It is dinner, dancing, and after everyone is staying over at the hotel. I am going to wear the gold and white dress I bought this summer in Portland, with my gold shoes and gold purse. I have been waiting to wear this dress for 4 months. How exciting!!

The Grinch

Tonight I relaxed and drank hot chocolate and watched Christmas specials on TV. The Grinch who stole Christmas is one of my favorites! The house feels so cozy right now with the fire place on and the tree decorated. Tommorrow is my last exam at school, so I am doing a bit of studying as well. Only 13 days left til Christmas!!! and only 14 days left til I leave for Hawaii!! yay!
"Santy Claus, why?, Why are you taking our Christmas tree? WHY?"

Christmas Baking!

All day today I did Christmas baking! In the morning I picked up some groceries and did some Christmas Shopping (just about done!). I am so proud of myself, I feel like a little Martha Stewart. Then I made little gifts for Christmas out of the fudge with cellophane and ribbon. I got a couple of the recipes from the newest issue of Martha Stewart Living! Here is what I made....

* Sausage rolls
* Chocolate fudge with nuts
* Ginger snap cookies
* Spinach and feta spanikopitas
* mushroom turnovers
* shortbread cookies

EVA!

I like this picture of Eva Longoria from her Saturday Night live promo shoot. She looks very glamourous!!

R2D2 Tobot

My brother turned 9 years old on Saturday. One of his presents was this Interactive R2-D2 Robot! It moves around and makes funny noises and follows directions. If you mention Darth Vader, it gets sad and runs away! kinda funny I thought!

This isn't a Summer and Seth moment from the OC... This is real life!! 

Holiday Reading

Over the WInter holidays I am always excited to do some reading (other than from a boring old textbook) Here are some books I am considering putting on my "To read" list over December and January! We'll see if I actually get around to reading more then 1! 
 

POST SECRET

This blog is a collection of post cards people have sent in. Anyone can write a secret on the front of a postcard, mail it to the address, and it is posted on PostSecret. Some of them are very interesting and others sad and depressing. Here are a few. Check out the site, its a cool idea!!

Walk the Line

Last night I saw the movie about Jonny Cash! I thought it was great! I never knew all the things I found out about his life and about June Carter. Reese Witherspoon plays June and Joaquin Pheonix plays Cash! See the Trailer!

CRAZY ART SALE!!

 
  Today My mom and I lined up nice and early to go to the Big "Art In Motion" art sale! It was crazy in there!!! People were shoving and grabbing as new loads came in. We got tons of great stuff!! Some art I had seen at Urban Barn in the summer, but it was so expensive!! We were in there for hours, and got great stuff at super deals. This picture shows only 1/3 of what we got!!

Puppies!!!

 
My aunt and uncles dog had puppies!! They are soo precious, Chris and I went to go vistit them last night. They are Schnouzer puppies!!

Thursday is my longest day

I have realized over the last few weeks, that Thursday is my longest and most stressful day of the week. I get to school and I usually can't find parking, so I am sometimes late and have to walk a ways. I am at school for almost 7 hours, without a break, then I drive home in rush hour. By the time I am home I am starving, tired and have a headache. I know it sounds like I am complaining.. but this is so more people understand why I like to relax at home on Thursdays and have a bath and watch The OC!

Britney's baby pictures will be seen!!

Ok, So a while ago I found this little stolen picture of Sean Preston Federline and mommy Spears that I posted. But then I removed it just in case, when I heard Britney was on a rampage and her lawyers were taking legal action against any website or blog they found it on.

Well I guess Britney caved, and took the 1.5 million dollar paycheck, because People Magazine will feature the photos early December! Here is the issue's cover...

Kinda funny the pictures are released the same week as Christina Aguilera's wedding photos. On Britney!.. stealing Christina's thunder again!!

Its that time of year again ! ! ! !

Tomarrow on OPRAH it is the annual "Favorite Things" show where Oprah hands out to every audience member all of the newest and coolest things out this holiday season. The show is unbelievable!

The best part is that the audience has no idea until Oprah announces the content of her show live then and there. Everyone goes crazy! Oprah needs to hold this show on a secret date just because of this reason. I will be rushing home for 4 pm tomorrow that is for sure!!!

MAYNE ISLAND PICTURES

 
LisA will be posting Mayne Pictures as well. So many of us had cameras so it got a little crazy! 

Mayne Island

 

This weekend 10 of us went to Calvin's place at Mayne Island. Enjoy the pics! 

On the ferry

 

Lisa and I on the ferry ride over Friday night, listening to our Ipods. I used to think my Ipod Mini was so little and now I look at her Nano which is a fraction of the size (and full colour screen). What will they come out with next!? 

 
We all hiked up to this lookout on the island, here are the girls half way up on our walk! 

Above the clouds

 
Here is Quentin at the top, We were above the clouds, we couldnt see the ocean and the other islands on this day, but it was still unbelievable! 

Starts to get sunny

 
 

Running down the hill

This picture that Calvin took is great! They are nice action shots!! I was in my little puma sneakers which are like flat slippers,and I could feel every rock I stepped on... After our big mountain adventure, we went to the "Clearwater" for lunch!

It's Interesting how pictures can turn out isn't it, you just need the right angle and timing! Good job Calvin :)

Snapshots

 
 

Cranium

Sabrina brought up this game Cranium! It is so much fun! It has Pictionary, Cherades, Trivial Pusuit and more!, all wrapped into one. We stayed up so late last night playing different teams. Sometimes you have to draw with your eyes closed, or hum a song, and your team has to guess. It sounds kinda dorky.. i know... but it was a blast!
