It was a good, very relaxing weekend.
Friday night, the other teachers in my department and I went out to celebrate the end of the semester. We went to one of those paint-your-own pottery places and drank wine lol. Then went out to dinner.
Yesterday I got a manicure, ran a few errands, and watched some Netflix while H worked. We went to see Wild last night and I loved it.
Today I've divided my time between reading, listening to Serial, and baking Christmas cookies. Barely left the house.
This week should be grand--no work! I need to finish up Christmas shopping/wrapping tomorrow and Tues. Christmas is at home with just H and me and next weekend we visit our families.

It was good! Friday the kids were SO wild that 3pm could NOT come fast enough! I ran errands after work and we had take out for dinner. Saturday we had music class in the morning, and we hosted our holiday party at night. I drank too much, and it was fun. Sunday we went to church and then just lazed around the rest of the day. I am on break now so today will be packing and getting last minute Christmas stuff done.

Friday we went to my work's Christmas party at my VP's house with free booze. Me, H, and our work BFFs stayed later than everyone else just chilling with our VP and his wife. He kept topping off our drinks, so I guess they were alright with us staying so late. I'm pretty sure I drank an entire bottle of wine by myself...I just hope I didn't say anything too terribly inappropriate.
Saturday H had a hangover from hell and we were hosting Christmas! yay... I started getting everything ready, and when he was done puking his guts up, he felt much better and finished up cooking. Because he felt like shit, I didn't get the chance to bring up our gift exchange again. He ended up giving me my big gift, and because I didn't want to make a scene, I gave in. I got diamond studs...he got a video game. That just doesn't seem right. But we'll do the rest of our exchange tomorrow or Wednesday before we leave. Oh and the rest of Saturday was good. It was fun to see how excited the kids got over their gifts.
Sunday I came into work for a few hours, then intended to go grocery shopping for baking needs, but I was just too damn lazy.
I get off work at noon tomorrow, and I'll start the baking marathon.
Wednesday we're picking up my uncle then going to my hometown to see my nieces in the Christmas program. I think the kids will open presents that night.
Thursday is church then lunch with extended family.
Friday, going to visit grandmother and BFF and heading back home.
Friday I left work early and went to afternoon tea at the art museum cafe with a friend. Then went home and prepped dinner for MIL, FIL and BIL who's visiting from London. They all spent the night.
Saturday the ILs had breakfast at our house, then went shopping with G while I napped. BIL stayed at our house and we watched some football, then went out for sushi, then to our friends' house for a bonfire and caroling.
Yesterday we all slept in, then went to our friends' house to watch football, then did some shopping. Came home for dinner, then went downtown for a holiday burlesque show which was awesome! I won the raffle and got a bag full of goodies including fancy hair products and pasties.
SIL and nephew fly in this evening, so we'll go pick them up at the airport and then BIL and they will go to the ILs for the rest of the week.
Friday we had dinner with DH's family at an old Italian restaurant. It was very, very, very good!
Saturday we had our morning classes at the studio. We ran errands after that and then our friends came over. We went out for our traditional holiday dinner and then went bar hopping.
Sunday I wrapped some gifts, did some laundry, and general tidying up. I also baked a few things for the holidays. The Bills lost and are not "in the hunt" for the playoffs. Sad times.

Friday we had our Christmas party and then I met with 4 girlfriends to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It was awesome, as usual.
Saturday Jay and I went to Breakfast and then I did a thorough cleaning of the house. That night we went to dinner, hit the cigar bar for a couple hours, then home to watch Christmas movies.
Sunday - Did some Xmas shopping and errands and headed home to watch football. It was a really great Sunday to relax, cook a nice meal and chill after all the shopping, Christmas prep.
ETA: I work a full day today, half day tomorrow and then I'm out until Monday.

It was pretty good. Friday afternoon was my work holiday party, which was fun. We played Jeopardy, and my team won (we got Visa gift cards as a prize)--I totally carried the team. Saturday, I went to yoga, wrapped presents, and went out to dinner at night. Yesterday, we visited Ian's dad in the hospital. He looks good and seems pretty much like himself. He might be home as early as tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest.

Was off work on Friday, had a dentist appointment in the morning. Met my mom at Kohl's in the afternoon to use a 30% off coupon she had. We went out to eat for Italian food for dinner.
Saturday we watched some football and then met up with people in the evening for an early Christmas party. There was some good food, a keg, and a live band, so we stayed for several hours.
Yesterday just watched more football and then met up with my family for dinner since boat-brother was in town for work and is flying out today, so that was our only chance to see him for Christmas.
I'm working today but then off for the rest of the week!

Friday I worked 7-3:30, and 4-12:30. Went home to space out to TV, then sleep. Saturday worked noon-9, so I did about the same thing that night. Yesterday however was GLORIOUS. I slept late, napped, cooked easy food, we got stuff to try our pellet stove. I really needed a day to relax, so it was great.
