Merry Christmas eve, gentlefolk! Here, have some pictures:

First and foremost: thank you, [livejournal.com profile] iammine  for the lovely gifties!!! And also, happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] summer_queen! Hope you have a great day!

So, on Thursday night we went to the circus that was the midnight showing of Harry Potter. I must admit our audience was pretty lame, once again giggling at totally inappropriate moments. That is so gross to me. The movie itself had a lot of things I loved and a few things I hated. Normally, I am way lenient on the decisions the film makers go with because the story is their interpretation, not mine. But there were some things I was really looking forward to that failed to live up to expectation. Eh, what are you going to do? I want to see it again before really putting my thoughts into words.

That being said, I cried like a big ol' girl through a good chunk of the film.

Yesterday, we went to Fredericksburg Trade Days, which is held inside/outside on some farm land near the town proper. There are stalls and little huts filled with antiques and homemade goods. Anything you can think of, they were selling. They had food and music and the crowd wasn't huge, so that was nice. We must have had 10 drinks between the two of us because it was SO HOT. We had fun, though, and I got a turkey leg! Hooray! Came home, took the most wonderful shower ever, and fell asleep to Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone. ♥

A few weeks ago, I saw an elaborate old-fashioned toy: a large, red-curtained stage that plays highlights from The Nutcracker. There were four rotating stages showing different parts of the ballet and playing eight pieces of music. It was beautiful and I immediately fell in love with it. Well, JP bought it for me and it came in the mail yesterday. !!! I love this man. My pictures don't do it justice.

The food bank is having a can drive and there was a competition to build sculptures made of cans. They were all pretty awesome, but this was my favorite (it didn't even place, so you can imagine how fierce the competition was):

Day 10 → A photo of you taken over ten years ago

This is right after my college graduation about 12 years ago. Ah, so happy. So naive. Le sigh.

I am a little buzzed and it rocks!

Also, David Cook is coming to Texas (no where near me, of course...what are you trying to SAY, Dave?). I may have to sit this round out, which makes me LOL considering my out of state ventures. Oh, wells.

Work makes me want to eat my own hand but today, walking through the parking garage, me and my iphone caught this lovely photo...


 

Made me glad to be alive and shit. In other news, New York trip is imminent. I would be freaking out right about now, but for the vodka. Yes, indeedy.

Don't have a heart attack, but I am actually posting pictures from my trip to San Jose. I know, I know - I am like 3 months ahead of schedule. Enjoy!

I have decided to try and take a few Fridays off this summer, assuming they are still open. I deserve it, I love three-day weekends as a short-term recharge, and it's gonna be suuuuuummer!

I feel like I should take a class or something. Maybe learn...um...something to do with cooking or replacing a motherboard? Or maybe not.

And finally, to cheer everyone up, I bring you another cat picture! I can't help it - Kyo is so cute! Here is my favorite one-eyed kitty tearing into toy mouse #2732.

Kyo sho cute...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I am, as always, very grateful for all the wonderful things in my life (much as I like to complain about the less wonderful aspects of it). And I couldn't ask for a sweeter, funnier bunch of people on my flist. *hugs*

Shout out to [profile] wonderelf  for the absolute best package that just happened to arrive on Christmas eve! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have sent you an email because I swear you have been reading my mind! Up with venting!!! ^_~

And thank you, dear [personal profile] shiroibara , for the lovely Christmas ecard. I loved it. *^____^*

And, just for the heck of it, I bring you...pictures! Some Christmas and some...well, you'll see:


G'night, all. Pleasant dreams...

Despite the fact that there has been no inspection done and I only have one loan rate locked, I am hereby throwing caution to the winds and showing everyone what will soon be my new home! So hopefully I'm not counting unhatched chickens, jumping the gun, etc, etc. But the seller has accepted my offer and JP wants some good news in my LJ 'cause I will be the first to admit I've been somewhat of a pill lately. >_<

So...here it is in all its glory. Click here for more exterior and interior shots of the next 30 years of my life. Ha, ha! No, not really. But at least the next five years.
