Oops!
I was looking around at everyone else's blogs today, and realized that I was sadly behind on my own... The holiday season probably won't help, but I can at least try. So life in the last while has been pretty good. The latest I can remember is the cookie making. We made gingerbread, sugar and press cookies. All very tasty, and now all iced as well. The last two days were very productive! Now we just have to give them out before we try to eat them all... That would be a little unpleasant I think. I pretty much finished off the Christmas shopping in the last week or so as well. Still have to get a gift for my grandma, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them... She's a tough one to shop for.
Other things... well, work's been a little crazy lately. They keep adding things to my workload, which is nice because I'm always busy it seems, but I must admit I'm looking forward to the summer when the two jobs I've been covering become one. We're getting a new engineer in our group in April or May, and once she's trained, I get to do one job again. That'll be pretty exciting! The new work is a little intimidating since it's a pretty big step up from the old work, but I think (hopefully!) I'll be able to do it, and hopefully do it well...
Also, well, it's been a while since I posted so we put up the Christmas lights and tree. I'm working on making our neighbours feel guilty for having absolutely no decorations outside by trying to make our house as Christmassy as I possibly can (one day I'll get my light up reindeer and blow up snowmen... one day... preferably on the roof). So far, we've had great (and increasing numbers of) lights up, and no improvement... Maybe next year will be better. I really enjoy Christmas and all the things that go along with it, so this is kind of a great time of year in my world.
Last night we went for a drive in Mount Royal to look at Christmas lights. Boy oh boy there are some awesome setups in that area. One house in particular gives me something to aspire to. They had every part of their house and yard decorated, even the garden. It was amazing. I'm sure Mike thinks I'm a little nuts, but he seems to go along with it, which is a good thing.
On another good note, my teeth hurt a little less now. I'm still not eating normally or quite enough for my liking, but there is improvement every day. One day I'll even be able to bite food I hope. I can already see movement, which is exciting, and I'm going to consult with the surgeon who'd like to cut apart my jaw in March. They even charge you $250 for the pleasure of having them tell you what exactly they want to cut apart... such fun this orthodontia world leads to ;)
Well, it's time for bed now, and that's all the updates I can think of for now. I'm sure I've forgotten tons, but my brain is done thinking for the day. We have an early morning breakfast meet with friends, so I'd better get some sleep so I'm not a grump in the morning. Until next time...
