I had such a lovely weekend, filled with crafting and lazing around with friends J
Friday evening Bret and I had a little date. We drove to Santa Monica and did a little shopping on the 3rd Street Promenade and then treated ourselves to Gelatto. I got Pecan Pie flavor and Bret got Mango Sorbet. Bret bought a few presents for his family, and then indulged me by letting me roam around Anthropologie (under the pretense of looking for a present for his mom). Of course I found tons of stuff I love but cant afford. Sigh Someday maybe!
On Saturday Bret and I slept in and then had a wonderful breakfast of Denver Omelettes, pancakes, and home style potatoes at the Grinder (a great breakfast place close to my apartment). Then he went off to play basketball and I went over to my friends Matt and Kaio’s apartment (they live like 2 miles from me). They needed female advice on how to decorate their place for Christmas. So they had a tree, and I went out and bought some ornaments (I got this box of 76 ornaments from CVS for $8.. some of the ornaments are totally crappy, but some are really nice too!). The theme was red and gold, so I got all red and gold ornaments, and some gold tinsel and white lights for the tree and their balcony. I had SO much fun decorating their place, especially since I am not going to have a tree or anything of the sort at my place.
On Sunday I woke up sniffly, so I went over to Bret’s house and he babied me all day J We watched tivo and movies and I made all my Christmas cards (which are way cute if I do say so myself!). We were LUCKY enough to catch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on ABC Family… which means watching R-Patz as Cedric Diggory!! Mmm. The guy actually can act, despite trying to prove otherwise in Twilight. During the movie, they were running all these “First Look” specials of HP 6 (The Half-Blood Prince) which doesn’t come out until JULY 17 2009!!! I don’t know how I will last so long!!
(in other news, I read on perezhilton.com today that they are rushing production of Twilight #2 “New Moon” to be released in 2009 as well… yay!)
Something else I should mention that I know a certain reader of this blog will appreciate.. I spent all of Saturday AND Sunday in these cute black sweats that I just got… I may never go back to jeans!!!
10 things I’m looking forward to before New Years:
- Next Sunday’s 2nd Annual Cookie Date with Bret (where I bake cookies and we watch Christmas movies)
- Seeing my besties on the 26th
- FOUR paid days off
- Getting paid next Monday (broke as a joke over here!!)
- Seeing my Europe family that are coming to visit the 22nd-28th… will probably include a Disneyland trip
- Decorating my parent’s perfect Christmas tree
- Matt and Kaio’s Christmas party on the 20th- complete with White Elephant exchange at my insistence!
- my stupid classes being done this Thursday!!!
- Getting my hair cut on the 24th J
- Giving everyone all the presents I have been making!!

That sound like fun susan, I am glad that you have a new appreciation for sweats... so good, but they can also be a dangerous black hole...you won't want to go back!
