well, this weekend was definately a change. whipped out a cleaning frenzy on saturday - including the inside of the fridge - made some truffles (and smashed my head on the fridge door when I was trying to shove the glass pan into the shoebox freezer, which involved finally having to tape the freezer door shut...) , tidied the room, and the christmas get-together began-- okay I have to pause for a moment, because the heat just turned on, but it smells like cigarette smoke! how nasty is that? )%%@$$!*# downstairs neighbours!!! ohhhh I could....-- so there was a nice amout of people, we ate yummy snacks, and lots of chocolates, played cranium, cheered when Crystal won a sirius satellite radio from cbc radio 2 (or 3 or something), listened to christmas music, had a fire, and generally a jolly time. Sunday, matinee with Tara (The Family Stone - funny, sad, cheesy, what more can you expect?) Coffee with an old friend Sinisa, and then to the Belfry to volunteer for the last showing of "The Syringa Tree" which was fabulous. One actor who did an amazing job. She was brilliant. Even when the play had to stop woth 30min left becuase a poor man had a seizure or something. It was quite unnerving. But the paramedics got there and he was okay. They took him in a chair stretcher, and then the play resumed. We gave her a big standing ovation when in ended , and she deserved it. Today, brunch with Sarah Mc and Steph - lucky Sarah is going to mexico for 6 weeks and then australia until june!. Then shopping - Ga! and finally home to relax for the rest of the day. another 7 days in a row starting tomorrow. weee. Happy Holidays!
