I haven't "talked" to you guys in forever! I just got back from my Florida trip to visit my brother and his GF for Christmas. The weather was fantastic and we had a great time. It was so nice waking up to sunshine! My mom who works in retail "couldn't get any time off" to visit me, so...awesome.
Well, I only gave her 6 weeks notice. I think she took too much time off when she was in New Orleans for Thanksgiving and couldn't ask for more. I then found out she was OFF on Wednesday when I flew in. I was in by 10am, so she totally could have seen me if she wanted to. Whatevs.

I'm sorry about your mom, Sit.
My weekend was not good. H threw up all day Friday, felt better Saturday morning, then started throwing up after lunch with the family. I took him to the ER where we spent 7 hours of our Saturday. They ran lots of tests and narrowed it down to his kidney. He's supposed to see a urologist this week. He's feeling better and hasn't thrown up since Saturday, but he's very week.
On the bright side, the nieces and nephews liked their presents, and H's family spend some quality time together. And everybody left by 10am on Sunday, so H and I crashed out for another 3 hours.

My weekend was great. On Friday, we got a tree and decorated it. Saturday, we went to a grilled cheese meltdown with some friends (several restaurants made different kinds of grilled cheese, and people got to sample them all and vote on the best). Then we went to the Christmas market, zoo lights (where we saw the new red panda cubs!), and a wine bar. Yesterday, we finished our Christmas shopping.

Ugh, sorry. Even during this time of year, 6 weeks off is enough notice. She's lame.
My weekend was busy! Saturday was my sisters birthday. I picked up the ice cream cake and her last few gifts, headed up to their house where we played boards games and card games with friends, cooked Chinese food (well my brother did and I helped.. other guests weren't required to help to eat, lol) and then had cake and played some more games! Sunday I laid around, then hit the gym for glute/hamstring day and then realized I had to be at work an hour earlier than I thought so rushed up there to work my kinda late full shift. Oops!
She took off a week to go to New Orleans for Thanksgiving, so that is probably why she couldn't get time off. I mean, you couldn't just switch a shift with someone? The woman literally sells sea shells by the sea shore and that place has a billion employees. Eh, life is too short to get upset over this sh!t.
Mine was awesome!! Friday I prepped. Saturday I had my Christmas party where I made a ridiculous amount of food, had 10 people in my apartment with no issues (def can fit at least 15, maybe 20 for that menu), and got to have most of my best friends in one room. So fun! Sunday I did nothing but ice my ankle and eat leftovers.
