Christmas Sure Flew By!

Click to watch movie.

Thought this summed it up quite well. Just a glimpse of Christmas eve this year. I never knew I took so many pics until I saw this footage. I look like a picture taking maniac. Too funny. Which reminds me…..I’ve updated my Flickr pics so check out the Photo Gallery if you so desire.

Hope your holidays were relaxing:)

Happy New Year!!!! 2007 (wow, where does the time go?!)

Christmas Singers

Jeff’s dad sent this link out and I thought it was pretty darn entertaining. You type in a Christmas song and these two creepy looking kids (actually chins) sing the song for you. After you run out of songs, try typing in a bad word. ha ha! Jeff told me to type something and when I did…I got chastised by the two chins.

Bad Sarah (Jeff)!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Here’s to 2007 (holds beer up)!

Someone cut you off?

I just learned about this website where motorists can vent after being cut-off or angered by other motorists.

Brilliant!

Whew!

Tonight I went up to Cafe 1923 to finish my final. Well, until the band started and all the people started streaming in. Good for the cafe, bad for someone trying to focus. I’m so glad my cataloging class is now over. It had to be one of the lamest classes I have ever had in my entire post high school life. Though I will forever cherish the memories of the professor falling asleep during her own lecture. Priceless. Next semester should be more interesting though. I am taking two classes (because I’m obviously crazy); Client Based Website Development and Library & Administration Management. I’ve heard good things about both of the instructors teaching the courses, so I’m excited. I am NOT however excited at the prospect of working 9 hours a day Mon-Thurs and then having to go in for 4 hours on Friday after one of my classes. And if that already doesn’t make you want to cry for me, my second class is on Saturdays. Boo hoo. So much for having nice relaxing weekends and seeing more of my family and friends. Quick! What’s your schedule for the first week of January? Maybe I could pencil you in before I return to hermithood. I love making up my own words. I’m going to come out with my own dictionary one day including my own pronounciations and everything. Newest Frecs pronunciation to add to the dictionary: “bee con” (said like two separate words) for the word beacon.

This weekend will be busy but I am hoping to take pictures and post them in place of text (cause I am feeling lazier and lazier lately). I have yet to begin my Christmas shopping (excluding my one visit to a bookstore last weekend where I purchased a book for someone). So much consumerism to do, so little time. I had originally planned on knitting scarves for a couple people (there I going blowing surprises for next year or the year after) but after getting less than halfway done with one and not liking the yarn, I set it aside and never touched it again. Now it sits in a half-knitted pile next to my bed.

I’m definitely going to be knitting again this winter. Just not before Christmas.

Heavy Eyelids

You guys probably think I’m too busy to write, and for the most part I am. But to be honest, I’m just plain tired. I always feel so stupid saying it, especially to someone like Autumn; who gets up super early, works full-time, and goes home with enough energy to play with her son (and husband) AND cook dinner and do whatever else that superwoman does.

I don’t know it if is the weather or what, but I am absolutely beat when I get home from work. Sometimes even when I get TO work. Most people are sick of hearing me say it. I’M sick of hearing me say it. I have a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow and think I am going to inquire about it. I’m sure the doctor will just tell me to “get more excercise”, “drink more water”, or “go to bed earlier”. Like I haven’t already tried all of those things. Seriously, I would love to sleep, sleep, sleep. I love sleep. It just doesn’t help. I still end up tired.

Just got home and you got it….I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap.

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……

*Update* I got some blood work done. Should find out if I am lacking in something Friday. If not….I’m thinking I just need more excercise. Maybe after the holidays though.

Fancy

We went to one of Jeff’s work Christmas parties last night at a fancy shmancy restaurant in Ferndale. The restaurant served things like Barbequed duck (which Jeff got) and some kind of rabbit (poor bunny). All I wanted was a nice ravioli, and the only ravioli they had on the menu was scallops and ravioli. Who eats scallops and ravioli together. Heck, who eats scallops? And why do I feel like I need to purchase some kind of fancy food dictionary?

But make no mistake about it…..it was good:) His boss and co-workers were very nice. There was a lot of laughter, and a couple of them even brought their babies. I got to hold one adorable 3 month old whose mother and father just happened to be sitting next to me. I couldn’t NOT ask to hold her. She was just soooooo sweet in her little Christmas dress.

Tomorrow we go to the other Christmas party. Santa is suppose to be there. I’m getting my list ready. My amazon list:)

Did the groundhog Not see his shadow yet?

Eh. Can I come out of hibernation yet?

Getting dark early=depressing.
Cold=chattering teeth.
Wool coat=itchy

Lottery ticket bought from Holiday Market last night=Jackpot?

Cold weather, darkness by 5 pm, wool coat, and thinking I’ll win the lottery=delusional.

Time to crawl back under my rock.

Update: I just want to clarify, since someone (not naming who..cough Je cough ff) thought I was confused about when Groundhog Day is. I did not think Groundhog Day is upon us. I was simply wishing that it was and that the groundhog would not see his shadow so winter can be over with already. Jeeeeeezzz……

Update #2: Remind me NOT to wear winter boots that go up to my calf….in flurries again. I don’t know if I thought I was cool or what, but the sound of me trying to walk in them at Purdy/Kresge Library was downright embarrasing. The friend I was meeting up with couldn’t help but laugh as I pulled my jeans up to reveal just how high up they went. I had to straighten out my socks after the boots nearly tried to swallow them. She stopped short of calling me a dork.

I just said, “Yeah, well, it looked worse than it was outside. I didn’t want to slip. I twisted my ankle two weeks ago just walking down carpeting and my ankle just hasn’t been the same since.”

“Nerd” she says.

“At least my feet are dry and warm.”
