Mid-December update…

Amanda and I made an advent calendar for mom and so far we’ve had a game night, walked down town Grapevine, saw a lighted boat parade and attended a Christmas choir concert. This weekend we’re going to Frisco Square to see their lights, back to Grapevine for the ICE! exhibit, have a fancy dinner at Mom’s house, since carols on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas with family.

Today at work we had our Holiday Celebration… everyone brought two dozen cookies. One dozen to sample, one dozen to gift. We started cookie grazing around 9am… by 11am we were in the meeting room waiting on Pei Wei for our group lunch. We sat, ate and talked until after 1:30, then we cookie exchanged and left. This isn’t even all of the cookies we “sampled”


On a personal note, I have two job interviews tomorrow. Actually two “second” interviews tomorrow. The first one is at 9am and it’s for a local job that my manager wants me to go for. The second one is at 1pm and it’s for the job in Austin that I first interviewed at almost two months ago. It was the end of October and now it’s the middle of December so it’s gone on for quite a while. Hopefully I’ll hear something about either or both really quick, preferably the job in Austin first since it’s still my ideal position.

Anyway… Happy Holidays!

December Happy Dance!

Sooo like always I don’t have any pictures to go along with what I’m gonna blog but that’s ok.

It’s only December 1st and I’m more on top of Christmas than I have ever been.
This past weekend Amanda helped me shop (and I’m mostly done already), decorate my apartment while I put up the tree and create an advent calendar for mom! It’s super cute and she likes it a lot. So today I’m working on Amanda’s. I hope to be done with it tonight so she can still flip the 1st over and see what she gets (to do). Most of mine aren’t treats. They are things to do, or make, or see… I hope she likes it. It’s going to look a lot different than moms but a similar idea. I just need to go get the “go with its”…. that’s what tonight is gonna be. Finish assembly and hand it over!

Tomorrow Amanda and I are going to meet up with Eryn and Grant at Willowbend for the Hanukkahfest.

Friday afternoon I get to meet up with Hot Amber for lunch… it’s seriously been close to a year since I’ve seen her…

Saturday mom has to work but a couple of cities are doing “holiday tree lightings” so we might try to hit up one of those

Sunday is another festive even if mom’s up for it… otherwise just dinner and family fun!

Hope you’re first week of December is treating you well!
