[Pre-warning... This entry is going to be long. A lot happened this weekend and I must share everything.] Wow. I keep procrastinating. I keep getting up to do everything other than write this entry. ^_^ Alright, first things first…

The Christmas Party! Sarah and Josh got here around 3:00pm on Saturday. We talked for a little bit and I ran through the rules and quick explained what to do with feeding the baby. I finished getting ready and Mike ran around looking for everything at the absolute last minute. Adam and Gwenn showed up and we headed out. We arrived at the hotel and got all settled in. Man, that place was fancy! Anyways, we hung out in the hotel room for a while and started to get ready.

So, Gwenn and I started drinking our cherry dr mcgillicutty’s and began the night right. We had two 1.75 liter bottles of the stuff. (Holy shit! That’s a whole LOT of alcohol — We polished off one and half bottles between 4pm – 12am.) Anyways, we headed down to the party. Blah Blah Blah — Ate Dinner — Had some drinks — Talked to people… Basically the party isn’t anything important to write about… We kept leaving to go upstairs with a bunch of people to take more shots. I really enjoyed myself. In the previous years, I’d always stick close to Mike and Gwenn because I really didn’t know anyone. This year was different because I actually know who people are, and they know me back so I was able to wander around without Mike. I even danced!

[Side note: I've now been writing this entry for the last hour due to procrastination, hungry baby, and feeding Nickolas breakfast. I'll never finish this.]

Anyways… As I was saying, I was really drunk. I really can’t walk you through a play-by-play of the party because I don’t have a 100% memory of it. Mike and I had a cigarette. It doesn’t mean we’re off the bandwagon of quitting, it just means that we smoked socially because of being intoxicated. Well, needless to say, this wasn’t great for me because I was SUPER cranky later on when I was told by him I couldn’t have another one. Even after a month of quitting, its just has hard as the first few days. I’m constantly craving a cigarette – I fear I won’t be able to quit and I actually hate Mike sometimes for making me do this. Anyways… I danced which doesn’t EVER happen. I wandered and talked to a bunch of people. Mike and I smoked… Gwenn and I drank a lot. So long explanation short, that’s the jist of what happened. We won the raffle prize though — $350 Gift Card to Chula Vista Resort. Which is freaking awesome! Later on that night, Mike and I got in to an arguement because I was highly intoxicated, wanted to smoke, and he wouldn’t allow me to go. So, I sat around, pouted for a while, and got really crabby. Later on, we ended up sitting in the bathroom for two hours talking about everything that’s going on in life. He made sure I was aware of how much he cared about me along with the will power that “I can do this”. It was nice. I wasn’t able to sleep at all. I slept like crap. I don’t know if it was because I was too intoxicated to concentrate on falling asleep or what. We all got up and out of bed around 7am. I still couldn’t stand up straight at that time. Needless to say, the night was VERY enjoyable. I had a lot of fun. Even though I became a pain in the ass, and bitched at Mike for doing something that is better for our health (which, I understand, but yet I still chose NOT to want to do this, unfortunately, I have no choice in the matter.) We went to breakfast and then came home…

My sister Sarah and her fiance Josh took the boys to get their pictures taken! That was her surprise to me. They turned out really nice. They would have looked 300xs better if the baby was awake, but that’s alright. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least. Basically, when we walked in she was like, “Do you see anything new around your house?” I looked everywhere and didn’t see anything. Then I looked up at my wall and see my shelves had new photos on them. So, after coming home and saying good-bye to Sarah and Josh we headed over to Mike’s parents house. We bragged about the gift certificate and spent some time there. Mike wasn’t feeling good at all because he has a really nasty cold or the flu so he ended up falling asleep. We also sold his truck. =[ Which is sad because that’s how I’ve always known him… the owner of a big ol’ green Ford Ranger. He’ll buy a new truck when we get our taxes but still… That truck had memories. Anyways, that’s what happened… I’m trying to rush and finish up with this entry because I know its long and I had a lot to talk about. I’m sure there was a lot of stuff I left out, but that just means it wasn’t as important as the stuff that was talked about. Time to go blog hop and write to my affiliates. ^_^ Also going to look at more packages at Chula Vista — I’m thinking the Jacuzzi Suite for two days. LOL It won’t be until February or March (after we get a new vehicle) but I’m SO excited. I don’t know when the next entry will be written because a whole lot of nothing has been going on during my normal week so we’ll see what happens. I’ll probably cave tomorrow.
