Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope everybody had as lovely a Christmas as I did. I spent some of Christmas Eve at B's. His mom invited me down for supper. (They had their turkey that day instead of the 25th). I brought down a present for his mom and she gave me a comfy fleece blanket with a snowman on it. So nice for cuddling in to nap. We came back up here and had some snacks and exchanged our gifts we had for each other. Lovely lovely gifts.
I finally got to sleep around 3:00 in the morning and was expecting Jordan to wake me super early but nobody stirred (except Paul, but he doesn't count) until 8:30!! Chris and Lynette came over and we opened our presents and took pictures and ate toast. There were so many presents under our tree!! It was madness! Pop (Gus) came for dinner and Terrence called from Afghanistan. We weren't expecting to hear from him so it was a nice surprise.
Now B is here and I'm dropping tired (haha), but I think we're going to play some cards and eat some snacks and have a few drinks. The day will be done in a few hours...another Christmas over...time to get ready for next year I suppose! I hope everyone is celebrating like crazy and having lots of fun.
Take care of yourselves. Merry Christmas!!

Man oh man, time is flying by. Just 10 days until Christmas! B is coming out this weekend and will be out until the third or fourth of January so I'm super excited. And Saturday is our six month anniversary :) We're gonna celebrate with some chocolate cake! I can't wait to see him. Ah, my sweet B...I adore him.
I think the Santa parade here in Clarke's Beach is this Saturday. Not sure if I'll go though. If it's anything like last years parade it won't be worth it anyway. It's a shame how our parade has gotten so crappy. I remember when I was a kid and the parade would go all through Clarke's Beach and it would be a bunch of floats and finally Santa. Then we'd go to the train station for loot bags. Last year there might have been four floats. It was kinda sad.
I think we might be going to St. John's next week for some last minute before Christmas shopping. I bet the mall is going to be crazy with people. I have all my shopping done so I'm just going to go and have a look around. I really just want to go to Second Cup for a yummy holiday coffee drink! :P
I hope everyone is happy and well. Take care of yourselves.

I can't believe how close Christmas is! Two weeks from today Santa comes. It's very exciting! I finished my Christmas shopping today. I got everything I wanted for people and I stayed reasonably within my budget! (You know I went over by a little, but I didn't do too bad at all!) So, now I'm just waiting until I can give everyone their presents :)
I think I'm finally getting over the flu. My voice came back a couple of days ago but it's still not the best. If I say more than a few words at a time it cuts out! So then I have to repeat what I said. The coughing is the worst though. I haven't been sleeping well because the coughing is keeping me up. I'm hoping I'll be all better for Christmas.
B didn't get out this weekend and now he's gone to a party at a friends house, so I'm sitting about with a buch of stuff I could be doing not getting done! lol! I'm so lazy tonight. Maybe I'll finish up wrapping my gifts in a bit though. Try and shake the laziness.
Rory's birthday is Monday. Little cutie! :) He's so excited about turning four because after he turns four he'll turn five and then he can "go on the bus like Nolan, right Amanda?" His party is tomorrow but I think I'll wait to bring him his gift on Monday. That way he'll have something new on his actual birthday. I have him a Robert Munsch book about the first day of Kindergarten and the little girl's named Amanda. He's going to love that. He loves anything that has a character named Amanda or who has red hair like mine! He's a sweetie.
I'm really loving the song "Nothing Else Matters". It's a cover of a Metallica song done by Bif Naked. It's so great. I listen to it constantly. And I'm addicted to Sudoku puzzles! B found me a website with billions of them, haha, and I can't stop playing it. I think I'll mail my christmas cards on Monday.
Take care everybody. Bye bye for now.
*so close, no matter how far/couldn't be much more from the heart/forever trusting who we are/and nothing else matters/never opened myself this way/life is ours, we live it our way/all these words i don't just say/and nothing else matters/trust i seek and i find in you/every day for us something new/open mind for a different view/and nothing else matters*

Sitting in my chair trying to think of everything that's happened since I last updated. It seems I can't get myself in the mood to even write anything here lately. I've become a blog procrastinator! Anyway, I'll try to remember the most interesting stuff, and see how it goes.
B was here all last week (for those of you who noticed I wasn't online at all!) He actually just left about half an hour ago to go back to Town. After having him here for so long it seems strange that he's not sitting next to me fiddling with my cell and downloading Christmas ring tones! I miss him a lot when he leaves. It was super good having him here. It's nice to be able to get a cuddle whenever you want one!
Mom had him helping her put up the tree the other day. Now the living room is all Christmasy :) She has most of her decorations put up and she's constantly finding more and bringing those upsatirs! It's madness and I love it! I'm really excited for Christmas this year (as I am every year) and I wish it was already here 'cause I hate having to wait to give everyone their gifts!
I was sick for most of the weekend...aches and shivers and grumpiness :P...thank jeebus I had B here to cuddle me and keep me warm...and put up with my "bad case of the grumps"!! He's quite the sweetie. I love him to pieces :) My sore throat is gone now and my voice went with it! It seems I have swollen vocal cords (mom had the same not long ago) and whenever I speak my voice vibrates. It sounds funny! Rory should have a good time laughing at it tomorrow.
I'm gonna mosey on again. I don't think I have anything else of interest to say. Take care of yourselves. Be good! Bye bye for now!
*It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas/Toys in ev'ry store/But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be/On your own front door*
