We didn’t have a tree up Lastmas, because we had just moved in (one year ago today!) – but this year, it is crazy festive all up in here:

treeeeeee!

We decorated with ninjas, Olympic mascots, my Mighty Ugly hockey, and secret Domos:

slurpees are festive

It’s been a busy couple of days around here. Last night was my office party, which was a blast – I wore the Kermit Dress, it was so green. Today was the kid’s party in Stanley Park, riding the Bright Lights train in the rain. It was my first time on the train, so I had fun even though it was friggin’ cold and wet. Trains are awesome, and there was a bear on stilts:

let him love you

Tomorrow I will bake a multitude of banana breads, finish my Christmas shopping, and possibly take a nap or two. I’ve got a busy week ahead (but less crazy than this past week), but I’m looking forward to getting some work done (the raise and booze I got on Friday likely has something to do with my sudden work ethic). Then .. Friendmas! And Foodmas! And a mini vacation – I’ve got a 5-day weekend over New Years that I plan to put to good use. I don’t know what that is yet, but I have grand aspirations and nothing on my plate – the very best kind of time off!

Yeah, it’s been a little scandal-free around these parts lately – I’ve actually been too busy to get into any trouble. Also, there’s nothing really hilarious going on. Things are just super, which doesn’t make for exciting times – I’m happy, conflict-free, enjoying my life, and have 14 litres of Diet Coke in the house. I may never need to put pants on again! Except I will, because I kind of miss my friends – feels like I haven’t seen them in seventeen years. We’re having Brunchmas at Sparta on the 25th and dinner in Railtown, but I hope there will be Hanging Out before then.

she can see into your soul >:E
