i was hoping to write on saturday, but the day disappeared before i had the chance.
i bought a new winter coat!! it's similar to my other one that was falling apart, but this one is light brown and the other one was black. it feels good to wear, and the lining is intact. it's a little loose on me, which makes me a little self-conscious that its a little unflattering, but i could move the buttons over so it fits more snuggly. i'm quite pleased with it. i got it at value village for 14.99. while i was there i also bought b a tie. i don't know if i've mentioned this before, but brendan owns three shirts, and wears them in an uneven cycle. he feels it keeps his life more simple when he doesn't have to worry about what to wear. i know this about him, and respect his right to choose that life style. i'm kind of excited because ties are the only area of his wardrobe that has a bit of variety, and i'm really tickled with the idea of buying him inexpensive nice ties at V.V. on ocassion. this one was a nice purple which in the store would've cost around $45-$50, and i got it for $4.99! :D i'm pretty excited about that.
what did he need a new tie for you ask? my work christmas party was on saturday! adorned in his new tie, he looked like a million bux. he thought i looked nice too :) it was at the days inn. the food was great (i brought a tupperware for the rest of my steak because i knew it would be too big for me to eat in one shot), and we did some fun people watching. being a couple of introverts we mostly just sat at our table while everyone else mingled. sometimes i thought perhaps i should mingle, but i didn't want to. i found it funny that beside us, was a table of my peers (who i know thru the united way committee) but instead we sat with my workmates who are around twice our ages (give or take). the knickers was there, making me as bonkers as ever, but it was ok, i'm pretty skilled at deflecting her. pictures to follow...
sunday was a nice relaxing day. i did some work on christmas gifts, and unfortuantely left the house in greater disarray than when i started. the ironic part was that i had hoped to do some cleaning/tidying this weekend and instead made it much wors (to brendan's dismay). i've gotts to do something about it tonight. but on the plus side, the gifts are looking great! i knitted so much yesterday that my arms hurt. i rented big bang theory on dvd and watched all 3 discs while working, AND 2 movies. it's good to have something to watch while crafting. although, i fell asleep on the couch with b during the second movie.
sometimes it seems really bizarre that there was a time when brendan and i didn't live together at the maxi pad.
