well...christmas has come and gone, and so has a long time since i wrote in this thing. busy month.

first off, i aced my class. kinda hard not to do when it's your only class.

we had our employee christmas party at my house, and it was SOO much fun! i LOVE the people i work with! we had so much fun my dad of all people asked when we were having another get together lol. my co-worker heather got to meet my brother (me and mom have been matchmaking on this one), and they apparently were mutually interested...i'm gonna have heather over more often for movie nights so they can 'get to know each other' hehe...she'd be a fun sister-in-law, so here's to hoping. she even stayed interested after my bro embarassed himself...we were all talking about embarassing pictures from when we were lil kids...my bro grabbed all our albums, thinking there would be embarassing ones of me, and lo and behold, what do we find instead? him in nothing but a red turtleneck and knee-high socks on the swing. good move, slick lol

i made SUCH a haul this Christmas in gifts! i got tons and tons of bath and body stuff from my coworkers and friends, some pretty lavender gloves and a stocking cap from my aunt gail and uncle pete, some beaded tea-light holders, a manicure set, a gift card to fashion bug (which i love), all from my aunt, uncle, and cousins...my grama gave me $50 bucks (MUCH needed), and my parents got me a bi-mart gift card for a fishing license, a pretty silvery necklace, and ornament (of course...it's tradition), and...a digital camera and color printer!! YAY! me and my bro both, for that matter...now all i need is to get jon to help me put in another port so i can hook up the camera right to my comp and i'll be totally in business!!

me and jon went and saw fat albert tonight out in wilsonville. it was a pretty cute movie, actually. a couple of the characters were friggin hilarious. it was really nice to just hang out and watch a movie...it's been a while since i've been to the movies anyway...and did i mention how cute jon's daughter daisy is? i'll have to put a picture of her on my website one of these days...i got some cute ones of her and jon together, and put a couple in frames for jon's present...they look so much alike it's funny...

oh, and i forgot...at the beginning of the month i got 4-5 inches of my hair chopped off and layered...for once in my life i have a cute hairstyle...now that i have a digital camera i'll have to take some pics of it and update my profile :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

i've lost 42 pounds! woohoo!
