Holiday 2008
December 29, 2008
Holiday 2008 has been pretty mellow for me so far this year. Of course, we still have New Year’s Eve and New Year’s to go through, but so far, so good this year.
My boss gave us the week off from work, which was awesome. Of course since I am so far behind with work, I went in on both Monday and Tuesday though. Doh. Oh well. I was only going to go in on Monday, but my co-worker had the same idea and so did a volunteer, so I didn’t get anything done that day.
I did get quite a bit done on Tuesday, but I also spent a lot of time socializing and delivering Christmas cards to people around the building.
On Christmas Eve I went to a friend’s annual Christmas Eve dinner. It was alright. I kind of didn’t want to go as I just wanted to stay home and relax, but went anyway. I did get quite a few nice grab bag gifts out of it, so I am glad I went.
My mom and I exchanged gifts that night and I am so glad that my gift for her did arrive on Christmas Eve. I was worried since my shipping notice said it was going to get there on the following Monday, but they got it together and it got here on time! Yay!
On Christmas Day we went out for a family dinner at Shokudo restaurant near Ala Moana center. We had a relatively early reservation and I had only been there once before. I was quite surprised at how crowded the place got after we were seated. I mean it was quite a full house! The dinner was nice too. I tried not to overeat since I ate too much at the dinner the night before, but I still ate too much.
I am just glad that I had this time off this week. I got to play a lot of World of Warcraft and just chill. I should have cleaned my house, but I didn’t. Doh. Of course I also found out Sunday that my ex-neighbor’s grandkids are in town and they want to come over and play cards one night before they leave. Super. I haven’t seen these guys in almost 10 years I think. So, I should have cleaned tonight, but got sucked into watching a movie on the television instead. Doh. I mean I don’t even know if they were serious about coming over, but I think they are probably going to pay us a visit within the next week. Eep!
