Its a Holly Jolly Christmas!

My weekend was a phenomenal one. Friday night I went out drinking. Yesterday I did pretty much nothing except go out to dinner and watch “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” I love that movie. It is hilarious and it makes me laugh exceptionally hard!

But Friday and Saturday are not what I feel like discussing. I feel like discussing today. I had a wonderfully productive day…after getting up at 10:30. But that’s besides the point. I sat on the couch reading my book for close to two hours, and enjoyed some Christmas tunes. Then I decided I needed to get some fresh (cold) air. Today being the first snow here (it was actually more of a flurry), so I felt like I needed to be out doing things to appreciate the snow. So I went to CVS…used my 30% off coupon and bought some odds and ends…maybe even some Christmas presents hahaha-whatever I have no money. Then I spent close to two hours at the gym. Hoping to maybe make up for the lack of my gym participation this past week. Something tells me it doesn’t really work like that. But while there I stumbled upon the UNC/Notre Dame Woman’s soccer game. It was the National Championship game. So it was a very good game to say the least. It was tied most of the game, but then in the last two minutes or so UNC scored maybe the most beautiful goal I’ve ever seen to take the lead! I have to say my heart sank for ND, but that’s the way the game goes!

Anyway, after my power work out, I went grocery shopping and cook an extravagant meal for my sister and I (it actually was more like mediocre but I want to make myself feel good). All while cooking I hopped onto Pandora.com and got some great Christmas tunes on my computer and was rocking out the whole time. After dinner my sister and I put up some Christmas decorations. I do have to say every other year I have never really gotten into Christmas away from my “real” home because having no money and being busy with school and training, I didn’t really see the point (the no money thing actually hasn’t changed, so I blame it all on school…blahh). My sister is what I call a “Holiday Enthusiast” . I swear she lives for this shit. I honestly could go with or without it. I do have to admit I really do enjoy it now that it’s all done. Pandora of course, went on throughout the evening, just putting me more and more into a joyful and cheery mood! So now I’m loving my apartment and here are some good pictures of the place all decked out:

The Mini Tree:

While going through my pictures I saw some from my trip to the aquarium…so I feel the need to put a few of those up as well just because I love them:

TURTLE!! It was a baby one...he is very cute!!

Penguins!!

A freaky (but cool) looking jellyfish!

Ok that’s enough of pictures, but I am now going to continue my amazing mood and Sunday by watching Desperate and Brothers and Sisters, and then read some more of my book before bed!
