I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I spent the holiday with Jacob. We both worked on Christmas eve. He got off before me and started dinner. He made me his spaghetti which i love love love. We went to bed kind of early. We woke up and went through our stockings. Then we opened presents. He is getting me a puppy next month. We are hoping to find a good deal on a leftover puppy that didnt get bought for christmas or that got returned because it turned out to be too much work. we are also looking at the humane society. Anyway he bought me all the stuff I need for a puppy: food, treats, dishes, bed, crate, toys, trainging books etc. He also bought me a beautiful crucifix necklace. My sissy and her family got me a really cool air popcorn popper that looks like an old fashioned cart popcorn popper.
Later we spent the day watching movies that i bought him : Wall E, Horton Hears a Who, and Kung Fu Panda. We also went outside and built a snow fort. We had Christmas dinner at Shari's. Sadly he had to work at 8 tonight. We had dinner at Applebees courtesy of my mom and stepdad on tuesday because monday was our 5 month anniversary but i had to work late. we dont really make a big deal of monthly marks except to say happy anniversary but i had the gift certificate. I was going to try and make over to see sissy this weekend but the roads are going to be too bad still. :(
Work has been good. I have been getting a steady 40 hours a week. Its nice to have more than just enough to get by. Jacob got two different teaching positions for swing dance. he will be teaching at the WSU rec center and at LCSC. He is really excited.
Jacob's roommates are all gone for two weeks over break so I have pretty much moved in for the time being. Its fun to play house for awhile. I will never admit just how domestic I have become while staying here. Its gotten pretty bad though. I am such a girl.
Well I think I am going to make some more spaghetti noodles. My life is not that exciting.

Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I had a really good week. All of Jacob's roommates were gone so I pretty much lived at his apartment the whole time. I was of course the biggest girl. I woke up when he did and made him coffee. And sometimes threw some stuff together for snacks and lunch. Nothing major...just a slice of pie or some leftovers if we had any. I havent crossed over so far into girly land that I would make a whole lunch for him. It was nice to get a lot of alone time with him since we are usually surrounded by a million people.
We both had to work on Thanksgiving. He was scheduled and they asked me to come in. I said I could only work whatever hours he was working. They all rolled thier eyes at that one but were grateful for any extra help. After work we went and saw the new James Bond movie. It was ok. Then we ate dinner at Sharis. He had waffles and I had crepes. He doesnt eat turkey and we really didnt want to socialize that night. Besides we had pecan pie the night before. And i have a box of stuffing at his house that i will make soon. Oh and I need to buy some olives too. thats the only part of turkey day I really missed. (besides family of course)
Black friday was a blast. I got up at 4 am. I was afraid that I was too far back in line to get anything on my list but I managed to get everything I wanted. Plus, if it was an item we normally carried, I got my discount on it! yeah for $2 dvds that became $1.80 dvds. I will be almost $100 under budget when I am done shopping. The store was totally crazy but it was fun to watch everyone scurry around. I just took my time. I talked to my sissy while we shopped so it kinda felt like we were shopping together. I managed to grab a few items for her that she couldnt get over there. Next year she really needs to come here to shop.
Lets see...what else is new? I chopped off my hair. I was tired of the last bit of highlights still being in there and my hair being damaged. I think they are all gone now. Hopefully it will start growing out quickly like it used to. I havent heard anything about the court case at work since I gave my deposition. We dont get our usual gift at work this year. In the past Wal-mart has given its employees a coupon for an extra 10% off one item that we can combine with our normal discount to give us 20% of an item. This year they decided to give us 10% off all food items that we normal dont get discounted. This would be a great idea if we were a supercenter. or had a supercenter nearby. As it is, it just means we get a discount on milk and some snack crap, both of which i rarely eat. its pretty lame. oh well.
My fish killing curse struck again. The fish I bought Hillary died within a week. We decided its because the bowl was too big. I think Betas like tiny, dirty bowls. We are going to try one last time to get her a fish. This time we will put it in a tiny bowl and see how it does.
Jacob just had his birthday. He is 23 now. Hee hee. such a youngin. I bought him a camera because he has needed/wanted one for awhile. So what does he buy himself at work on Thanksgiving? a new camera. With all the stores closed for Thanksgiving, I only had the next morning to buy him a new gift. I was in a panic trying to come up with something else to get him. Pain in my arse that boy is. He had been in the process of setting himself up for rockclimbing so he doesnt always have to borrow equpiment when we go. He had detailed all the things he still needed/wanted. And I had half paid attention so I was able to get most of what he needed. We have instigated a new relationship rule "no shopping for yourself from November 1-Dec 25th" and i cant shop for myself the month before my bday. He had plans to go rock climbing on saturday (his actual bday) so I had to give him his present friday night. I needed a reason for him to open it that night so I told him he had to open it at midnight so it was technically his bday but before his roommates came home because it was inappropriate to open if front of them. He looked alarmed but didnt say anything at first. About 10 minutes later he asked if it was going to be ok for him to have it the apartment with his roommates. He looked really worried. I was cracking up.
I tried setting up my christmas tree today. My mom gave me her little fake tree. It was a perfect size and really nice but the tree trunk part is bent and it falls over. The stand is cracking so I cant get it to stand up straight. I will spend more time trying to fix it tomorrow. Hillary and I are going to buy some decorations and lights. I already have a bunch but I want it to feel like her tree too so we will pick some new stuff out.
Friday is our christmas party at work. We are deep frying some turkeys. should be fun. we also get our sales bonus check with our next paycheck. its not as big as usual but any extra bit helps.
I went on a random roadtrip with Benjamin and Trevor a few weeks ago. It was really nice. I forgot how much I love hanging out with those two. Trevor drove his convertible with the top down for awhile. It was great. We drove to Klemgard park and walked around. Not too exciting but we got to catch up.
I guess thats it for my exciting life.
