Don't worry I'm still around

I'm sure that many of you have been waiting for me to post the Italy pictures and stuff. I will soon, I promise. Life has been busy and hectic.

First of all. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and Happy New Year!

So far, 2006 has been...Well...I don't really have the words.

December 31, 2005

• Celebrated the New Year until about 6am.
• Enjoyed yummy snacks and drinks.
• Enjoyed the company of the Katie O'Grady & Katie Kovesdy (They say that 2 Katies are better than one) Andras, Dylan and Sam.
• House got toilet papered - not in the usual way (Individual Squares - there are really stupid people in my neighborhood)
• Played Taboo (Fun game!)
• We had tons of fun.

January 1, 2006

• Slept much of the day away
• Slept threw much of the football Sam was watching
• Cleaned up the New Year's Party mess.
• Ran some errands and drove with Sam to Moss Beach - but didn't make it.
• Sam got a flat tire due to a bad pothole on Devil's Slide.
• Two hours later, after getting a ride from Sam's dad, going to get my car, driving back over the hill, avoiding that nasty pothole, we made it to Moss Beach.

January 2, 2006

• Woke up early to call AAA to come out and change the flat tire. It was raining.
• Went to the movies - Got in at the Matinee price. $6.75 each. Woo Hoo.
• Saw Munich
• Stuck around to see Fun with Dick And Jane
• Saw Narnia too
• Nice dinner in West Portal - Bursa Kebab
• Double Rainbow closed early - that SUCKS!
• Found an open Baskin Robbins - ate chocolate and pistachio ice cream - I miss Gelato.
• Went to Sam's

January 3, 2006

• Woke up and drove from Moss Beach to San Bruno.
• Got ready for work, started to make my lunch.
• Phone rang - bad news. Grandy (my Grandfather - Dad's side) passed away. (He was 95 1/2 years old. Had been on hospice for a few months. It was expected, but still just as heartbreaking.
• Went to see my dad at the care home.
• Went to work late. The day got worse. It isn't worth re-living as I type, so feel happy you don't have to read about how terrible it was.
• Sam stopped by work to give me a hug and a fun ATHF poster. (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)
• Stayed at work 1 1/2 hours later than expected.
• Went to work out at Curves - verge of tears most of the time. Really worked out all of that pent up work related stress!
• Went home. Relaxed. Hung out for a bit with The Katies and Andras. Went home again.
• Slept for a few hours.

January 4, 2006

• Much better day at work
• Chiropractic Appointment - I had a great adjustment. I really needed it.
• Sam surprised me by being at my house when I got home.
• We went to Barnes and Noble to get 50% off calendars.
• Ate yummy dinner at Red Lobster
• Watched 40 year Old Virgin - Thanks O'Grady!

So that has been it so far. I guess there has been good and bad, happy and sad things. It has only been the first week. Anyway. My goal is to have all of the Italy stuff up by the end of January. Sorry for the long length of time. I am trying to be realistic.
