And Chrstmas came and went....

So I had this blog started already, sometime in November about what I should do for Christmas when it all seemed to fall into place.

I got to wake up in my apartment Christmas morning, not alone, and open gifts. :) The only thing missing was the tree but I'll work on remedying that next year. I'm not sure that my apartment would fit a Christmas tree anyway. On a perfectly wonderful note, I didn't guess ANY of my gifts! I can't tell you how awesome that is for me, I love to be surprised and all the gifts were PERFECT for me!

We had a leisurely morning (even though we were up way to early) but then got ready and headed over to his Mom's house for Christmas brunch. The snow was horrendous on the side streets but his car loves the snow and he drives it very well so it was all good. :) His family is very nice and even got me gifts themselves! How sweet is that?!? :) I was very embarrassed, even though I knew they were coming, but the stories they told behind them helped, it was something to laugh at anyway. :)

The day after Christmas was slightly more busy then originally planned since he had to stop and get me a battery (this cold was too much for the two yr old one I had I guess) and change it out for me. We took Ros to daycare and headed north where he met my mom (she was on her best behavior), one of my brothers and he almost beat her at Scrabble. (there was also a minor disagreement with the Escape and the snow drifts but a friendly neighbor and a shovel solved that issue) :) My mom made us lunch and we stayed a little longer than planned but managed to get to my Dad's with about 45min to hang out everyone and take pictures.

Today we are going to his Dad's and that should wrap up the meeting of the immediate family anyway. I'm not really nervous and surprisingly wasn't nervous when he met my family it was all very laid back and fun, I would say one of my most fond Christmas's.

Life is good.

And I think having this apartment is going to force me to shed a lot of garbage I've allowed to accumulate, it will be good to get a little lighter. :)

I hope everyone had an AWESOME Christmas as much as I did. :)

Has it really been that long?

Wow! I have not been this lax before in my blogging, I'm almost disappointed in myself! :)

But what's a busy girl to do?

Update: Phlem boy didn't work out, didn't have many high hopes with him living so far away so no really big loss. :) Plus it was decided pretty quickly after my blog so it's just as well I guess.

I'm to tell you that I've met a new guy, his name is Mr. Slipons, or I call him Mr. Shy. He's also dead sexy. :)

He told me to write that and after today will be able to read my blogs which he hasn't in the past as I've blocked them from everyone in order to prevent him from snooping. You guessed it, he's a computer nerd. :) He's also reading over my shoulder now as I type this.

I've been sick and not wanting to write lately but since it's been so long I guess here's the long version since we all know I don't have a short version. :)

Halloween: I had a super-fantastic costume, I put on a latex witch nose and the cape from a few years ago and voila, I was the witch from Snow White.

Mr. Shy: It was my idea that we go to Pasta Pronto (the best Fettuccine Alfredo around), closed them down, went to Barnes and Noble and picked two books out each for the other (I know cute, right?) :) And then closed down the Starbucks as well. :) I didn't get home until after midnight. We've had a few more dates since then, I made the BEST Manicotti and it was healthy, and he made Beef Stroganoff that tasted like home. I'm actually typing this from his house and his weird ergo keyboard that I'm surprisingly better at typing on then I thought. :)

Guess what, NO KISSING!! Who would have thought I'd be able to say that? Can I see a show of hands? We've decided that the reason is because I'm sick and he has an aversion to colds. :) I'm sure it will be remedied as soon as I have a clean bill of health. Watch out, I may not see many of you once I'm healthy, at least for a week. :) He even says he may pencil me in for a week of PTO. :) Just Kidding. (only a little)

I need to go now before I get in more trouble, because like I said, he now has access to see the others so we'll see how long this lasts. :)

I guess it was the short version, who would have thought I had that in me too? :)
