Well, this weekend was a pretty busy one for me.

Friday:

The Nutcracker was FABULOUS!! I LOVED it! Man, if the opportunity ever comes again for me to go to the ballet, I'm jumping at the chance!

Afterward we went to the new Japanese steakhouse not far from us. The same one, in fact, I ate at before the Tori concert. However, I couldn't really enjoy the meal since I had massively bad heartburn for some reason. I mean, I've never had it this bad before.

Saturday:

Most of the morning was spent out Christmas shopping. I was able to find a few things I was looking for. A few things I had to improvise however. Like I couldn't find the DVD set that mom wanted, so I got a different one which I think she'll like instead. I just have to find the companion CD. I also found something for my one cousin that I think she'll like.

I broke down and got me one of the Force FX lightsabers from MasterReplics that they sell at BAM. I posted pictures. I told mom about it and she says she wants one now!

Later that night, we went to a Christmas party at friends of ours house. There were several people we didn't know there, but a few we did. Needless to say, we spent most of the evening talking to the ones we did. Our former Worship Minister and his wife were there and we hadn't seen them in a long time, so we talked to them a lot. I told him we need to have a Wii party sometime since he has one too. He said it sounded like a very good idea!

Sunday:

In the morning, I went to church as usual. then I went to lunch with the minister and his family as well as another couple and mom of the new church she's going to now (if that makes any sense). They seem really nice. The minister is actually a huge Star Wars/StarTrek fan, so we geeked out a bit about that. Then we went home and I took a nap since I was fighting a bit of a headache. Then we put up some more lights up around the outside while I put up the ones I got Saturday (which look really neat, BTW).

We've decided we probably wont be able to put up the regular tree this year since we don't have enough room. We're most likely gonna go with a smaller tree that we can set on a tabletop or something.

We took a nice little walk around the lake and took some pictures of some of the ducks and we found a feather. Don't know who it's from though...

I got my cards and I just need to get busy and send them out.

We are gonna be so busy this week. Tomorrow we need to go and get groceries for various appetizers we're fixing for said events. Wednesday there's a get together at mom's church which I am being drug along (mostly for the food). I said I might bring my lightsaber...

Thursday, the Bible Study we've been going to for a few weeks is having a party, which we're bringing food for.

Friday night we're going to a Christmas musical/pageant/play thing over at another friends' church...

This time of year is always so hectic. But maybe it's for the best since it would've been my sister's 36th birthday next week and she died the day after Christmas and this time of year is kinda hard on my mom. I told you, holidays seem to hate us.
