Yesterday I managed to talk Dave into leaving work an hour early so we could get our Friday afternoon appointments done a little bit early.  Turned out smart, because traffic was MAD.  We were going to go grocery shopping yesterday too, but I ended up having Dave drop me off at a Tim Hortons to have coffee with my Uncle.  By time I got home, we got sucked into “Identity” and “1 vs 100” on TV after which I just went to bed.

This morning I had breakfast with some girlfriends.  We went to Perkins on St. James which actually had moved next door.  A whole new look for Perkins too.  It was alright.  Different.  Our server must have been a newbie, but he did an okay job and even took our picture when we were leaving.  As soon as I get a copy, I’ll post it.

When I got home, I had a nap.  Haha!  I think I slept from 11:30 until 2, which has made me very groggy.  Dave’s dad called to say that Dan and Tracy (Dave’s brother and sister-in-law) were coming over for dinner so of course we are invited too.  Dan and Tracy are leaving for Mexico tomorrow, for their honeymoon.  They got married in August.  I am tres jealous, but my turn is coming.  Might do the same thing, a Christmas-time trip to somewhere warm.

Tomorrow is dinner at Dave’s uncle’s, just a stone’s throw from his dad’s.  Which, to be honest, is just two stone’s throws from us.

Monday, Christmas Day, we have NOTHING planned except watching football.  Too bad it doesn’t start until 4.  We might go driving Christmas morning.  Practice driving, that is, for me.  I am having lots of difficulties driving standard and need more parking lot practice.  With Christmas that’s been hard since everything is open during all waking hours (and some sleeping hours too).  Christmas morning, though, I figure things should be nice and quiet!

Boxing Day we hope to spend with Dave’s cousin from Bermuda and his fiance. I met them both at the wedding in August and we got along great so I think it’ll be a ton of fun.  I’m hoping Gina (the bride) will ask for help planning their Manitoba wedding since they live in Bermuda.  I think Dave likes that idea to get the pressure off of planning OUR wedding.  Ya know, cuz we’re not engaged yet.  Oops. 🙂

What are YOU doing for Christmas?
