Holiday Cheer

This past month has been a whirlwind of holiday activities.  Thanksgiving was hectic.  We met with my family on Thanksgiving day.  That night, I went into work at Michael Kors in Dawsonville, and worked an eight hours shift from 9:30PM to 6:30AM.  Midnight Madness is just that--madness.  The store opened at 9:00PM on Thanksgiving, and when I arrived there at 9:30, the store had already hit maximum capacity!  I hadn't slept all day, so I was worried that I would be struggling to stay awake.  However, amongst the chaos, I had no time to get sleepy!  I did capitalize on the great sale the store had and my temporary employee discount to buy some clothes and a purse.  This will probably be the most expensive purse I'll ever own. 

I didn't get home from work until about 7AM.  I crashed for about an hour and a half before showering and heading over to Taylor's parent's house.  We stayed there all day, and then we came home so that I could sleep before heading out to the UGA vs Tech game that Saturday.

Boy, I enjoyed that game.  I rarely get to sit beside other UGA fans, but this I was surrounded by them.  Of course, the win made it extra enjoyable (hee hee). 

Let's see, what else has happened since Thanksgiving?  I got to see the beautiful, pregnant April at her baby shower.  Even though I didn't know a single person there, it was lots of fun.  Chris, that shelf you built was really cool, and that changing table looks amazing!  I really hope you like the pillow, even though it doesn't exactly match your color scheme.  Right after the Barr baby shower, Taylor and I went to his company's Christmas party.

Okay, first, I gotta mention that we got a hotel room so that we would only be 5 miles away from the country club where the party was located.  Second, a whole group that we knew were staying at the same hotel.  Third, we took a mini van to the party so that we could all just ride together.  The reason why I mention all of this was that I ended up being DD for that... and driving intoxicated coworkers was FASCINATING.  There was mentioning of hot tubs, Cheetah, Pink Pony, glitter, and Jesus that night.  It was one of the best parties I had ever been to.  Not to mention that it was also casino night, and I got to place a $1000 bet of fake money and have Taylor lose it all with one throw of the dice on the craps table. 

Christmas is just around the corner, and I can't wait for the upcoming new year.  2011 was so much fun, but I'm looking forward to the change in 2012.  Hey, perhaps we can have a family/baby get together before the year ends?  Anybody has New Year plans?  Let's still all our babies in one room and party hardy in the next.  LOL.  Just an idea....
