b-b-b-b-irfffday week

Am I too old to have a "birfday week?" I think as long as my aunt is still having one, I should get one :p.

We put up or tree! It'll work as our primary Christmas tree for at least 3 years. Not bad for $20.00! I figure when we get our house up, it'll be a second tree in a different room as decoration and we'll have another one for the real. Or switch it around for the bigger one being a decoration. We won't have kids for another 4 years and they'll enjoy the smaller tree for 6 to 7 years. Until they're half the size of the tree, they'll be okay for that.

Anyway! It's kind of a good feeling this Christmas holiday. I know we're going home, but I really like having our tree. Maybe it's because it reminds me of how great my birthday was when I was younger. It wasn't anything like you see on TV, but the birthday feels special. Craig wouldn't understand the feeling. His family, though they celebrated, they didn't have the chance to make it the big ordeal like my family. We would get everyone together, have two birthdays. A family party and a friend party. It was always great! Even with all the family drama that could go on, I always had fun. On every birrrrfday.   :D

Handmade Gifts

I've decided to hand make Christmas gifts. I went to JoAnn's yesterday and spent almost $200.00. That'll cover... at least 7 gifts. probably more, just have to see how far I can make them go. Anyway. I will be going to Michael's today too. I wanted to pick up a few things from there to sort of solidify our Christmas gifts. I may have to go back to Joann's, or a closer fabric store.

I know it's kind of cheap, but I feel like homemade gifts can be lame and still be good. Whereas if you were to buy the same thing it would be like: "ummm thanks".

Plus, it is cheaper, and I have things to do with my hands while we watch harry potter :D At least for this week. haha.

I started the HP marathon on Tuesday. We're watching HP #7 part 1 at Imax on Saturday :D :D :D. yay! Man, I'm so excited. I have Miss Sacramento County meeting that morning, then we're going to watch it!!! Also, I need to make HP badges.. hmmm crap. :)

Old and Forgotten

I love finding old treasures. I found this while snooping checking Craig's email. I'm the only one who does anymore.
