Ok, I did a nice long blog entry and it was fabulous let me tell you, it would have blown your minds and the computer ate it! ARGGG technology I hate you!
So now I am doing the short version:
Jeaninne's life in one paragraph or less:
Went to Aladdin with Brett the Hitman Hart with Tracey Jean, play was great Brett stinks! Went to cooking class with my Mommy and ate Fruitcake euuch, Yule Log euuuch, Sugar Free cookies eucchh, Bread Pudding eucch and White Chocolate Cranberry Brittle yummmmm. Can't wait to decorate my xmas tree which has been up for three weeks and still has no decorations on it. Spend my days working with mono faking drama queen who sleeps under desk, going crazy. Treat dog and cat like children and talk to them like people when I am alone.
I would like to say that after talking to Megan last night, I realize that mono is a terrible thing to have, and I think I undestimated what it can do to people. I just think my coworker is faking. And now Casey scared me and told me it is highly contagious and I am going to contract it. Then I will probably be home for two weeks eating my words. I hope I didn't contract it b/c Casey and Tracey drank my water!!! Great, now I will proably get a goiter!
this week, that is! I get more and more excited about christmas each day! Maybe that's because I've got holiday music playing in two places upstairs here! I've been quite productive today working in photoshop! Today I'm feeling really refreshed and almost bubbly...I went home and crashed in bed before 11:00! Anyway, not much is new today (yet!) But I'll keep you posted if something happens. Until then, enjoy this little clip of my favourite comtemporary holiday song:
Oh - question of the day: what is your favourite modern holiday song and favourite classic? My favourite classic is Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Ella Fitzgerald. Have a good one! Casey
so far so good regarding my post-a-day! Had a tough time getting out of bed this morning as my arms were killing me! I helped push out some guy in the alley behind my apartment last night, and my pipes sure did get a workout! was quite productive at work today - got a bunch of photos printed and even finished two orders!
Got some sad news after reading this story - a bunch of craft blogs I frequent have been keeping up with the story and even knew the family so it was sad to get the news! So if you get lost in the backroads stay in your vehicle and keep your cell phone on!!
To get us back in a cheery Christmas mood, keep yourself busy with these fun links:
in honour of me being alone at work for the rest of the month, I'm going to try and write here once a day. Tracey has already informed me that there's a bunch of outdated links and whatnot on the blog so I'm going to attempt to remedy that. Things have been alright at work, although it's strange being up here all by myself. I don't think any of you have ever visited me here, but if you had you would know why i'm soooo lonely! There is a lot of quiet & empty space.
So that's all that's new for now. I'm almost finished shopping for christmas presents, and have just a few more little craft projects to complete. Hope your tuesday is going well and we'll talk soon!
so i was really harassing casey and jeaninne for not writing on this blog, yet i excused myself for not writing. today i have no excuses! my grandma visits this thing everyday and is very upset with the lack of posts!! i guess people do read these things (just don't comment~hint hint!)
so what is new:
i had my bday shindig on saturday. i had a lot of fun! i am soo glad that people made it, as i know christmas can be very busy!! i was impressed with the dance moves that everyone busted out after just a couple of drinks...or even just one drink (dj). and a special thanks goes to case for having a tequilla shot, you're the best! and to sal for waiting in the line (in the cold) to get in. thanks guys! you all rock! and lynette i hope you enjoyed your answering machine messages at 11pm!
during the day we went on the most fabulous outing: we went to toys r us. instead of giving each other presents this year, we decided to spend the money on toys for santas anonymous . it was really cool.
of the toys: baby gifts: winnie the pooh stuffed animal, glow worm toddler: bowling set, firetruck set, cash register girl: cabbage patch doll, make-up boy: carwash for cars generic: puzzle, guess who game, mr. potatohead
it was quite fun and i was really glad that we did it! :)
i think that is it for now. i am sure i will write more with all the christmas things coming up. have a good day guys!! and thanks for the birthday fun!
oooohhh...what is this I've found? Is it? No - can't be...the first trailer for the Order of the Phoenix? Watch and enjoy, and buy me candy for making you so happy!
it sure has been a while - what's new with me you ask?
-on friday I was cutting with an exacto knife and ruler and the knife slipped and sliced my left thumb...I ended up getting 2 stitches at the clinic and they even put a stitch RIGHT THROUGH MY FINGERNAIL!! It looks kind of nasty but doesn't hurt anymore. I might post some pics once I get my film developed so stay tuned!!
-things have been a bit tense at work lately with positions being moved/shifted/re-structured...so much going on!!!
-my christmas shopping has officially started! Megan and I went monday night and I have decided that is my favourite day to go to West Ed. It wasn't busy at all and I had my first gingerbread latte of the season...I do prefer starbucks to second cup hands down!
-I have found so many projects to do off of this newsletter but I really shouldn't buy any more fabric until after christmas. It's soooo hard!! Especially when I have to go buy fabric for Jessica that she's going to give to her sister for christmas! *sniff sniff*
-only 4 more days until Sal is finished school...can't believe it's done already! maybe we'll be able to enjoy married life together now and really bond as hubby & wifey!
-last but most definitely not least, today is the first day I'm listening to holiday music. I couldn't put it off any longer now that it's being played in every store I go into! So grab a cup of hot cocoa and tune into the best holiday music on the internet!
have a good hump day! ~casey p.s. nice to have you back, mom!!
Hope you have a fabulous day! I am very disappointed because I have no picture to post of you..so I had to post a picture of this guy dressed as toast. Have fun you fabulous, young lady!
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this video on the net today - FINALLY! Someone is actually pissed that they didn't win an award - it's Faith Hill losing last night at the Country Music awards. It's pretty unbelievable, hey? What do you think? Good that someone actually reacted honestly, or pathetic that they couldn't keep their emotions in check?
Did you know that Bob Barker is 83 years old? And we thought we were getting up there! In honour of his retirement, check out this list of the top 10 things to love about this great man of daytime game shows!
So what do you think of the new season of Grey's Anatomy so far? I've got to admit I'm a bit undecided. I really like the medical cases they've been having, but there are some other things bugging me: -I wish Burke would tell someone that he's not OK because of poor Miranda! -Izzy is annoying as a passive doctor -Derek and Meredith's story is too flip-floppy to me and there's nothing happening
But that's just me...what do you think? Have a good weekend...
It's amazing how as soon as November 1st comes around the Christmas displays/commercials start coming out in full force! I've seen ads for Christmas trees, Festival of Trees, Christmas vacations - you name it! But what I really can't believe is that Christmas is less than two months away!!! How the heck did that happen? If any of you find old clothes/shoes/jackets that you are looking to get rid of, remember that Tracey and I can take them to the Mustard Seed...I've been taking garbage bags of stuff already just from going through my closet! We'll take them down to the church once you've collected stuff (like how I volunteered you, Trace?)
so...we finally did it! we went to the rocky horror picture show. it was a lot of fun. i had really forgotton about the whole movie plot (if you call it one) but the audience sure didn't. it definitely has a cult following! the costumes were quite funny (even a greased up rocky) and i loved the props! but i still cannot get over what people say when watching the movie....how many times did they see it to remember what and when to say things?? it was crazy, but lots of fun!
and in other news....i was kind of bitching about how cold and gross it was in the last week but i have had a change of heart since seeing the snow. i know it makes for crappy driving conditions but i got the feeling of skiing in the air...ski season is just around the corner and i am pumped!!!
