Thanksgiving!

Alright, So I have a complex on blog posts without pictures, because I feel like they must have pictures. But, I'm trying to get over that because I'm not good at keeping my camera with me enough to take pictures.

I hope everyone's thanksgiving was good! Mine was fun. Leo and I went to Boise, which is where his grandparents live, and yes, we went up Wednesday night. We didn't get there 'til like 1 am but 'tis alright. Then, Thursday we spent the day with his family and had ourselves a gay old time. I really enjoy his family, his grandparents are pretty much hilarious. That night we hung out with some cousins and siblings and watched Hancock (mixed feelings about it....loved Charlize Theron and Will Smith, but not so sure about the story...) On Friday, we booked it home to get me back for work.

Black Friday weekend was just dandy at work, not as crazy as expected. The company gives us money for lunch on Black Friday and so we thought pizzas were the way to go. Apparently though, 20 girls don't need 16 pizzas because we could not finish these pizzas for the life of us. Don't you worry, I took home one whole pizza the first night and then another 1 & 1/2 pizzas the second night. Sure they've been sitting out for 2 days...but for me, I would eat pizza off the floor. Tis my favorite food.

I have a bit of a cold, which ok, I have odd opinions about this. I never get sick, like never. And so, I kind of enjoy it when I do. I just have a sore throat and runny nose but I almost exaagerate my sick face just because its such a rare occasion. Not to necessarily get sympathy but mostly just to pretend like I'm a normal person that usually gets sick every winter. Weird? its possible.

My Christmas Tree!

This past weekend, my dad and my sister, Jessica, came to visit me and it was so fun! I really love my family a lot. I can't wait 'til Christmas when I can see the rest of my family. I put up my Christmas tree and stockings while they were here and it puts me in such a good mood. Here are some pics of it:



We also saw Twilight and oh wow. Definitely worth it. I guess I should finish the rest of the books. I'll have more pics from my fun weekend soon!

Christmas

So, I'm pretty dang excited for Christmas. This is nothing new though, I've always been a little bit obsessed. At the beginning of November, I changed half of my presets to "only Christmas music" radio stations. Tonight, I wrapped almost all of the presents I've bought for people. Yes, I am almost completely done with my Christmas shopping. Sadly though, I'm a really bad wrapper so the presents are not so pretty. Eh, no matter. I think probably my very favorite part is the way the mall gets at Christmas. Everyone's bustling around and the mall has all of their Christmas decorations up. It's so wonderful. Oh! another favorite part is that almost every day you can find a great Christmas movie on some channel on tv.

My sister and dad are coming to visit this weekend, it's going to be so much fun! I really love that they come to visit me. I hope we have some fun things to do.

Cruise!!

Alright, so we just got back from our cruise and it was fabulous! I'll give ya a quick run-down of our week, I'll try not to bore you.

Monday- flew to Los Angeles, took a serious journey to Long beach including a shuttle, two metro-lines, and a bus.... (my stress level was high and you can hear it on our videos), at around 5 pm, we finally got on the ship and it was awesome! then we set up in our room and the eating fest began, anyone who knows me knows that i, of course, made time to watch a movie in the room, it was baby mama, i couldn't help it.

Tuesday- woke up whenever, took a cute boat to Catalina island, oh my gosh, it was beautiful! we went snorkeling, which was not my favorite, i tried to be brave... it didn't go so well. then we did some shopping and headed back to the boat. we watched a dancing/singing show and ate a lot. then, we watched indiana jones... in the room.

Wednesday- slept in, then got off the boat and headed into ensanada. ensanada, Mexico was not the tropical paradise i was hoping for. but it was very fun! we rented a golf cart and drove around everywhere. went to the beach and mango mango for lunch, then went back on the ship. watched a magician and a comedian, they were pretty funny and then we watched iron man...in the room.

thursday- this was considered the "fun day at sea" and the ship was a-rocking and a-rolling (even stevens reference), it was pretty chilly, so i tried to lay out but it didnt happen so well, we did watch speedracer (totally loved it by the way) in the room and then we went to an awesome singing/dancing show

friday- debarked (disembarked? deembarked?) at about 8:30 am and then took that same journey back to los angeles and jumped on our flight at 1 pm and now we're back in utah!

i was so proud of us, because we rocked at taking pictures and videos... i didn't always want the videos, and when we watched them afterwards, i sound like such a mean person. so advice to everyone, no matter how you are feeling, if you are on camera, pretend you're happy all the time.

Halloween '08

Hello there, so, I don't really like Halloween at all. I'm not a fan of being scared for fun. So, usually I just pretend like the holiday doesn't even exist. At the mall I work at, they have trick or treating on Halloween and last year, I worked it too and I didn't dress up at all but this year, the girls that were going to work it decided we should probably dress up. So we did! and okay, it was pretty fun. Here are some pictures from it!


I have some issues with trick-or-treaters. Can't stand the teenagers with pillow cases, they especially didn't like our store because we handed out stickers. and can't stand the parents that trick or treat with newborns. Like they're literally holding the one month old baby in the arm and a bag in the other and saying trick or treat....cause that baby can eat all the candy their getting...whatever.

1 week 'til cruise!! : )
