Okay happy chucks.... I know its a belated Christmas from me, but its a christmas none the less.
This christmas was really weird. Cos, basically, it snuck up on me. I was working so much... and we were having christmas parties left right and centre (god I wish to never see another damn cranberry stuffed apricot again) that it just... snuck up.
Wow... sidenote: I haven't been on here so long that my typing has gone to SH*TE. You obviously can't see it, but my fingers have to skittle over the "backspace" button that much its damn annoying.
ANYWHOO.....
So, I took piccies!
Well, piccies of my christmas dinner. What happened was that I had to work on christmas day. We close up shop and do a giant christmas function on Xmas. This year we were fully booked - about 170 people. That's including children
then i had to get home and get my own xmas dinner ready. About a day before i was told that mum and dad were joining us.... so that left me slightly panicky. Then i calmed down somewhat because I realised that I usually make enough food to feed an army.... so yeah
So I got up at 6am - got to work at 8am... finished work at 4pm and got home around 4:30 and we had dinner around 7pm. There was no usual gifting around the tree
but it was all good. I got my pressies before - (i bought them myself)
Here's my piccies
(and yes, the turkey looks burnt, but trust me, its my shitty camera phone messing it up. It was all golden and nice, like a really good roast chook.
)
Plus I made a slightly screwed up Cookies and Cream Icecream to go with the bomb choc pudding I bought and some nice custard I made for desert.
We had heaps of munchies too!
As for my pressies: well, I'm not sure how to mark my 'presents'. Mostly I just went out and bought stuff for myself.
I got a giant teddy bear. He goes from my head to my knees. I'm about 5 foot tall
I also got a little chocolate coloured reindeer that's just the right size to cuddle. He has antlers and everything. (but he's really a chocolate moose in disguise, he told me so!) so i called him my Choko Roko
Ummm... I got myself a new DS game - some books (Blood Ninja and Heart Sick). Shadow wrote me a poem (which is great cos he hasn't done that in years!) I got a cash bonus from work too. I got myself a little 1.5 litre ice cream maker. Its not that great... but hey, it only cost me $25
Ermm.... mum and dad gave me some money too
it was sweet. I honestly can't remember anything else.
I got shadow some games he had wanted - OH!- yeah, that's what else I got. Shadow bought me a cd
An eighties compilation I had wanted for a while cos all of my metal and rock is making me fall asleep in the car on my way home from work everyday
.
Right, i think that's it
What are everyone's New Years plans?
Oh and I got sick
