Feliz navidad

I can't believe how quickly the holidays came and went! Actually, I'm still in awe that it's going to be a new year in a few days! 2006 has definitely been quite the year for me - changes, new beginnings and endings, ups and downs.

I did get to see all the movies that I wanted to this month. The "Night at the Museum" was cute, it wasn't as funny as I was expecting but I think it's a good movie to bring kids to. I'm a bit biased because I love museums. I've always thought that if I got locked in a museum at night, I would totally sit in the corner crying my head off in fear. There are actually some museums that you can "sleep-over" in. Guess who wouldn't be doing that? I wasn't originally planning on watching "Dreamgirls" but the girls wanted to see it so I went along. I had thought it was supposed to be about Diana Ross and the Supremes but they didn't use any of the real names. It was kind of ridiculous because you knew who all the singers were but they didn't use their names. I didn't think it was great but I still enjoyed it.

I feel like there was so much I was going to write about it but I've put it off for so long that my mind's drawing a complete blank right now. In good news, I think that everyone loved the gifts I gave. Not having much to spend definitely makes the job more difficult. I was good this year, I held off on the clothes and asked for things I actually needed.

I went to Kevin's family's xmas party this past Saturday. There was so much dessert there, they had gotten a few cakes from the Cheesecake Factory. I brought over these new brownies that I've been trying out (no, they're not the magic ones), they were very fudgy. One of his cousins told me that she was going to cut it up and bring it into work as her own, I gave her the thumbs up. We were playing Pictionary and I made a complete idiot out of myself. The word was "Alaska", right before I drew it, I told them to not look at my drawing but at Kevin's. I'm not good with geography at all. Somehow I blanked out and convinced myself that Washington was the same thing as Alaska! I bet you guys can figure out which team got that point!

For the first time, my family actually opened presents on Christmas (they usually come over on Christmas Eve). We had two hot pots going on for dinner, don't you just love how American and traditional that we are? Me and my lucky streak, got really really sick at the end of the night. It was so bad, close to Rafferty's incident. Today was actually the first time I started eating real foods, but I am limiting the quantity right now.

Anyways, I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful new year! See you in 2007!
