Princess Jazz

My brother-in-law Ian has been staying with us for the past few days. He gave us our gifts early so we wouldn't have to bring them all the way to our parents, open them and bring them all the way back.
<--- This is what he gave me. A Barbie! I was so excited! (Still am actually.) I love Barbies but it's not a gift you typically give to an adult unles they're a actual collector (which I'm not, I just think they're pretty) so I was surprised. Ian knows me well. :)
She's a vintage 1985 Holiday edition, complete with stand. This is not my photo but one off the internet. My doll looks the same though.

We're leaving tonight to visit our families for Christmas. We'll be around their area until Wednesday the 27 th when we'll head back to Ottawa. If you want to see us, give us a shout at either of our parents places, we'll be going back and forth quite a bit.

Merry Christmas!

I finally used a sick day. Thursday night I was up sick to my stomach in the middle of the night and even though that has passed, I've just been a bit off ever since. I am so exhausyed I can hardly move. I hate calling in sick but I figured I need to in order to get better. Hopefully this does the trick. I've done nothing all day and it's been great, but I'm still tired. We'll see.

I'm taking this from my uncle's blog. He was tagged by someone. The rules are as follows: You write a blog post stating six weird things about yourself. You then tag 6 of your blogging friends, telling them to do the same. I'm nto going to actually go and tag anyone because I'm lazy so I'll just write a list of people I hope will do it. Here's my list: Victoria, Justin, Kris (you can write more than 6 if you need to Kris, it's okay), Jordan, Lizzie, Wes, Cynthia D., and Danielle. Anyone else can as well, of course.

Here are my six:

1. I love football movies but do not like football.

2. I am fascinated with death. I seriously considered being a funeral director/mortician at one point.

3. I am not very good at video games but I am quite good at Dr. Mario and often Tetris.

4. I love fat things. Fat people, animals, anything. (I wouldn't mind being fat.)

5. My left leg is about 1/2 inch shorter than my right leg.

6. I am allergic to Humulin brand insulin but not Novorapid. The Humulin eats away my fat and leaves little craters on my stomach.

To keep up with my trend of showing you my Christmas ornaments, here is another photo.

I am so tired. I dislike working mornings and I just came off a string of 4 with today being a 12 hour shift. Tomorrow I'm off though and then I'm working afternoons and this particular week of afternoons I particularly like.

Thursday I spent most of my day at the Museum of Science and Tech with one of the guys I work for. It was great. We played games and saw all sorts of interesting stuff. It was a nice relaxing shift, which I needed after the past couple weeks.

Enough about work, I actually do have more in my life than that (although sometimes it doesn't feel like it!) We have a Nintendo Wii! It is very very cool and Todd's been playing it like crazy since we got it. We had Keith and Darcie over last night to play and it was fun. If anyone living in Ottawa wants to come over and play, just give us a shout!


Also - Todd is taking me to see the NUTCRACKER on Sunday!!! I absolutely love the Nutcracker. I've seen it like 4 times already but I'm always wanting to see it again so I am thrilled! This is his Christmas gift to me.

Tomorrow is a Christmas party with my work, and in two weeks we'll be going to the Christmas party for his office. If I can get my shift covered this Friday we'll be going to a party with our Sunday School class. Parties everywhere apparently.
