Niki expects me to be happy for eight days, and who am i not to oblige? I will, however, be cheating and doing two days in this post because I guarantee I will forget by the end of the week.

Yesterday, aka Day 1:

-Last day of work for over a week, FTW!
-Matt, Miss Kathy and I exchanged gifts last night, because they left this morning. Matt and FL Jenn went in together and bought me the special edition Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite. Hooray! Of course, I already knew this because my mom has a big mouth. So, when I was buying Jenn's gift at Toys R Us I bought two games! And Miss Kathy gave me a $50 Wal-Mart card, so I went out and got a third.
-We went to see Abigail Breslin at Candlelight Processional. She was adorable!
-Mike fixed my passenger door lock! (Niki, I used one of your Magic Cookie Bars as payment, also a low cut shirt.)
-But the best part of the day was Matt and Miss Kathy opening their presents from me! I made Miss Kathy some earrings that she adored! And I made Matt a gold-filled box chain bracelet. And I found a cookbook at Half Price Books while I was in Texas that he lost several years back! I think it truly is better to give.

Today, aka The Deuce:

-I've had the house to myself since Matt and Miss Kathy left.
-I'll be making Date Roll as soon as I'm done with this post....mmmmm...Date Roll...
-Today has been pretty uneventful. But I'm happy to be alive!
-Also, I'm having Niki's chocolate chip cookies for dinner...I guess I should see if I have any milk, or I'll have to run to Publix. SPEAKING OF PUBLIX...NEW CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL! (Stupid YouTube doesn't have a good link yet...) It takes second place behind the Valentine's Day cake!
-DATE ROLL!!!!

Current Mood: happy

In the past week I:

-had food poisoning.
-sent all my Christmas packages.
-picked my mother up from the airport.
-finally got to eat a full meal (Tuesday night, Mitsakoshi Teppanyaki).
-saw Marlee Matlin narrate Candlelight Processional.
-bought $100 in beads (or, more correctly, had $100 beads bought for me).
-bought Serenity, BSG 2.0, and the Peanuts Holiday Trilogy at Best Buy.
-had my car break down.
-saw Hoop-Dee-Doo.
-took my car in for repair (with the help of my lovely friend Jen).
-was told I probably won't get my car back until at least Monday.
-rented a car (a Chevy Monte Carlo, not my favorite).
-was on time to work today despite the whole car thing.

I want to curl up in a ball and cry for an hour. I need some catharsis. And a movie. And some presents. And my mom (oh, wait...)

Current Mood: exhausted

No EJO at Candlelight this year.

Insult to injury...no Gary Sinise, either. My mother will be devastated. It's kind of a Christmas tradition to see Gary Sinise.

Instead we're stuck with the guy who thinks he's Jesus, just because he played him in that movie.

At least Marlee Matlin (and Jack!) will be narrating on Dec. 19-21.

:( I was so looking forward to hearing the Christmas story from Commander Adama.

Current Mood: disappointed

So yesterday was a good day.

I finished Christmas shopping (hooray!)

I saw Candlelight Processional narrated by Marlee Matlin (voiced by her interpreter)...My class got VIP seating, right in front of the other interpreter (Angela...love you too!). It was better than any other Processional I've seen. Just magic. And once Marlee had said goodnight and thanks, she looked over to the deaf section and saw all of us Sign Language clapping and got this great look on her face...(OMG where'd all these deaf folks come from?). When she was walking off stage she gave us the I love you sign. It was just great. Then, Matt and I stayed around and had dinner, shopped and waited for the fireworks because there is a special holiday tag after Illuminations. The tag...wow. Set to "Let there be peace on Earth," it uses more fireworks than the regular show. The finally sent of one shockwave and then a secondary shockwave that was unbelievable.

Anyway, came home and watched the new Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie. LMAO.

And wrapped presents...almost done!!!

I'll stop the rambly...last day of my "vacation" have to go goof off!
