Happy Holidays 2006

Hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas.
I spent Christmas Eve with my parents and Christmas Day we had lunch at my Uncle and Aunt's house.

Got lotsa really awesome gifts. I musta been a reallllly good girl this year *grin*

I also got a cold :( which is way sucky.
But at least I can stay home all snuggly in my recliner with a puppy and a kitty to keep me company :)

No plans for New Years. I'm sure there'll be loads of parties and such, but I like to spend New Years Eve in the safety of my own home.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

86 degrees yesterday...

And while I know many people in B-town are turning green with envy, I was whimpering.

Got home late Saturday night. Spent Sunday shopping with my Mom. Today was spent helping Mom with book-keeping.

Finished reading Eldest this evening. Better than Eragon, but unfortunately it ends in as much of a cliffhanger as Eragon.
BAH!

Tomorrow I've got at errand to run with Mom and then she's taking the rest of the day off to hang out. Not sure what we'll do, maybe something crafty.

Now I just need to figure out how to kidnap Dad for a day or so....

Squirrel Invasion

Yesterday, walking from Tamarack to Birch Aya and I saw no less than 15 squirrels. It's like they knew the snow was coming back today and were doing their last-minute packing. There were probably more than 15, but they were bouncing all over the place and it was hard to count.

We had our first Hall Council sponsored activity in Birch Hall yesterday evening. Aya, 2 RA's and I went shopping for supplies first - hitting the grocery store and Franklin Ben *snicker* - so sayeth the Purchase Order.

The hall activity consisted of nummy-sugary snacks and music and painting decorations. We had clear and frosted glass balls and carved wooden shapes for people to paint. I'm happy with how it went. And it felt realllllly good to be involved in another Hall activity.

I need to make a few finishing touches to tomorrows presentation - meeting with my group on MSN at 6pm tonight. The presentation is tomorrow at 1pm and then I'm done with school commitments.

Weeeee!

The end of this semester snuck up on me.

Seriously.

*edit* hehe /bonk self on head
I posted to the Blogs & Wiki Daybook instead of here.... that's twice in the last few months

BtVS Season 8?

I may have to start reading Comics... or maybe I'd prefer the way *I* think it went after season 7....

I did just happen to notice a new comic book store when driving through downtown the other day....

Mother Nature's got it right!

Wooty-woot-woot!

Starting last Friday we've had (at least) a bit of snow each day. We've got enough snow now that everything's white, the lake is frozen, the roads are a bit icky, there are big piles of snow where people have plowed.... And all is right in the land of 10,000 lakes :)

To me, snow = cold weather (love it), beauty, a calmness to nature, snuggly-goodness, hot chocolate.... I just love it!

I love snow!

Yesterday morning Sharon brought me a Christmas present in the form of a "snuggie," a lap-sized blanket she quilted. I tried it out last night and it rocked! Warm and snuggly!

Last night I helped the Birch Hall Council decorate the lobby/lounge area. We painted the huge windows, which face the lovely frozen lake and lots of snow. I put up the Christmas tree... and there are paper-snowflakes all over the place. It was fun.
Oh.... I'm the Birch Hall Council President. Don't think I mentioned that before :)

And ASL was last night... last class of the semester. But! I asked the teacher if I could come back next semester to help out/stay fresh and she said she'd be happy to have me! Wooooohoooooooooo!

I got ANOTHER job offer for next summer, that makes 4....

The Education Department had our Winter/Christmas Party today = FUN!

I came to work today to find this little guy on my doorknob:

My friend said it was just calling my name :)
How cute?!?!

A couple of weeks ago (for my birthday) this same lady gave me a lovely knitted bowl, filled with beads and a candle :)


I have the coolest, craftiest, most generous friends!

Oooh... and at the gift exchange for the Ed Dept today I got a $20 gift card to Target, my fave store!

Shopping inc!

*bounces around in the snow*

It's been a grrrrrreat week!
