Time for Christmas Decorations & Holiday Cheer!

Before I start this blog, I must say this first & foremost:

'ARRIVE ALIVE, DON'T DRINK & DRIVE'

My days have been so full of activity, there's never a dull moment in my life.  Geoff and I will be celebrating 3 years of being together on December 10th, his birthday is December 20th and then Chrstimas on the 25th.  WHOA!! Lot's of partying! 

Christmas this year, and I'm very pleased to say, will be spent with my family in McDonalds Corners (my sister will still be in Myrtle Beach sunning it up!).  I'm looking forward to it as it's been a very long time.  I'll be going up a couple days prior to Christmas to give my Mom a hand with the cooking & baking.  On December 17th, I'll be heading up to there to help Mom make some Meat Pies (Tourtières)...mmmmmmmmm!  Mom has always been such a wonderful cook, so I'm sure she'll be proud of my cooking abilities.

I'm not really completely in the Christmas mood, but I think I'm planning on putting the Christmas tree up tonight.  Hopefully, Geoff & Brodie will want to help me.  Haven't started any Christmas shopping either...not even sure what to get anybody this Year. 

But... let's rewind a bit and talk about this week.  Tomorrow, I'm leaving work early, around 1:30pm, to go for my MRI at the Ottawa Civic.  Everything has been going very well since they've taken me off the estrogen/hormones.  I'm having a little bit of trouble sleeping at night because of the night sweats, but I'll deal with it one night at a time.  After the MRI, I'll be meeting up with my sister Micheline and then we'll be off to a Party Light event at Maria's.  Once we've been candled-out (LOL), we'll be heading out dancing!  YAY! 

With all these appointments, I've been working 6:30am - 3:00pm each day to make up the time.  It's been tough getting up earlier every morning.  It's amazing how even 30 mintues can make a huge difference.

December 14th, I will be heading to Ottawa once again to get the results from the MRI.  I'm sure everything will be great as I've been feeling alot better!

So.....since this month is going to be a busy one, I want to take the time to
wish all of you a very
Merry Christmas! 

For all others who don't celebrate Christmas:

Happy Winter Solstice
Happy Bodhi Day
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Day of the Return of the Wandering Goddess
Happy Saturnalia
Happy Eid ul-Fitr
Happy Kwanzaa

I'm sure there are many more!

Cheers!
Dee :)

  1. I wish I could be there this christmas with my family. I am missing them so much. May be coming home early...we'll see. But I wont make it up for the holidays.

    I's sure you will have a wonderful time at the candle party...hopefully you and I can do some fun things like that together during the summer.

    I am so glad that you will be cooking with mom and spending Christmas in MC.

    Love ya sis...
