In the HEAT...

Well i can now say that i have tried Hot Yoga...and i love it! I was kinda nervous going there not knowing what to expect and i had no idea if i could handle the heat or not, but WOW i have to say it was really amazing. I was completely soaked from head to toe by the time i was finished, but i enjoyed every mintue of the ninety that i spent in there!
I was very familiar with some of the moves since i do teach a yoga/pilaties cross type class, but had to try yoga out to see what the buzz was all about.
I left there feeling so warm and stretched and felt like i grew an extra inch or two it was fablous!
I can't wait to get my body back in that heat to do it all over again!!

It is offically one week til christmas eve, and christmas shopping is winding to an end, i have stuff left to buy, but can not find what i want on store shelves :( (my brothers and there outrageous ideas) hahahah
I think i am going to be extra tired on christmas day with all the people coming to my brothers house and i am working nights, so i am not to sure how it is all going to work. I am crossing my fingers that i can sleep for at least 7 hours, cause i am not to sure if i don't sleep that much how i will make it through another shift....i may want to be crawling in to a crib at work to sleep too!!

Stay warm everyone....

My Favorite Scene

I recently found the nativity scene i have been looking for, for over a year on ebay! I was so excited when the words popped on the screen telling me that i was the highest bidder and that the snow babies christmas pagent would be mine!

I absoultely fell in love with this nativity when i recieved it in the mail, and now it is set up just under my tv, so each time i walk in the door or am just sitting on the couch i can see it.

I have kinda ventured off and started my own collection as well as adding to the collection that i have started for my mom each year, i can't wait to see what she thinks of her newest additions this year!!

DeCoRaTiNg FuN

I put up my christmas tree the second last weekend in november, had to get a jump start since i work weekends, and things just never get done when i would like them to on days off!! hahaa

This may also be why i haven't been able to get everything done i wanted to for christmas! I kinda took a few weeks off from the whole chrismtas thing, but i did tackle the stores this morning and got a few more things done so i should only have to get a few more things and then i should be done! I know what i want to get, it is just a matter of finding everything!

Hope everyone is staying warm.....when it is -44 out right now!!

Tis' the season

Some of the ladies from shapes...( i have to say i center pictures quit well when i am taking them and making everyone squeeze in)

Well it is once again christmas time, everyone starts packing the malls to get the sales, people are driving likes assholes cause they can't figure out that snow + cold = black ice or just forgot about it since last year at this time. And of course you have the good ol christmas parties.

I went to two christmas parties this weekend, one for Shapes...i laughed so hard i almost was cryin and then the next night to a get together for a few of us from work who miss out on the party that most of the people attended last week, i guess someone has to work when parties are being held right!!

All in all it was a good time, the ladies from shapes once again were out in full force, from stories to ideas to learning new things my blackberry does, i don't think i have ever learned so much at a christmas party before!

This is another Snow Baby that i have purchased in the past for my mom's collection! Last year she asked for a snowbaby snow globe, and i was able to find one on ebay so it is wrapped and under the tree waiting for her to open!! Can't wait to see her expression!

Unthawing....

Well i have officially made the decision that i am moving to Hawaii. I think i can handle the rain more then the cold. I can't seem to warm up ever, it is not good, ok i did warm up when i was teaching classes but that was two hours of working out to get the sweat to drip. I must be cold blooded or something.
I wonder how Santa handles all this cold up in the north pole. I must write to him and ask.

It is only two weeks away from Christmas and i am getting more and more out the of christmas spirit? I am not really sure why, i don't feel like going out to buy presents i don't feel like making stuff, i am just in a slump, maybe the cold has frozen my desire to be creative and enjoy christmas....that is not cool.

Tomorrow i am going to see what i can find for gifts for my brothers, it doesn't help that i have to find a birthday gift too cause one of my brothers is born just before christmas! I recieved wish lists from my family members, and all i see is these big luxury items that i can't afford to buy, so i have resorted to buying things they will use, for ex. my little brother is getting a case of Kraft Dinner, at least he will not go hungry for 12 days!!hahaha

happy shopping everyone, hope there are still some things left to buy!

F...F....F...Freezing

Here is one of my favorite ornaments from the snowbaby collection i have started for my mom!!

OH MY winter has once again came over the city like a freezing cold blanket. I am wanting to spend every moment tucked in to my nice warm bed and not have to get out until spring comes along! I WISH!!

Well life goes on, even though things are becoming a little tougher to tolerate out side in this weather!

I am really trying to get in to the whole christmas buying thing, but i just seem to be spending more and more money on things that i like and not so much on everyone else! But i guess if i have no ideas for other people then it is a bit tougher to decide what to get for others!

I have a christmas party next weekend, mayebe that will help me out a little and get me more in the mood, but knowing that i have to work christmas just makes it all a little less appealing! But i do get to have a bit of time off after christmas to reconnect with family and friends, and hopefully spend some time shopping (SALES!!!) and visiting with old friends i haven't gotten to see in a while!

I have many ideas for things to do with my time, just never enough time to do them all in!

I definately have to get a pedicure too, i have seen the pics posted on my friends blogs and i love their toes, they are soooo cute i have to get myself done!! Some thing to look forward to, where my feet will be very very warm, at least while they are soaking!!

I must start organizing a few gifts so off to the spare room to see what wrapping adventures await!!

not enough hours in the day...

WOW i can't believe that i have had the past two days off of work and i have been so busy that I have no idea where the time when. Although i had a great two days off it just never seems long enough.

I was able to catch up with a couple of my girlfriends, and even went to a doctors appt. with my friend to make sure her baby is growing well!! I found it so amazing and interesting, i can definately see myself wanting a job in that area in the future, i think it would be amazing to watch babies develop and see the reactions of couples anxiously waiting for their little ones to be born! Listen to me, I am already looking for a new job and i just accepted a new position at work....hahahaha so much opportunity to explore in this career!!

Finally starting to get in to the christmas spirit!! YEAH who am i kidding i LOVE christmas, i have had my tree up for almost two weeks and there are wrapped presents underneath!! I have to have the full effect!! Here is a pic from last christmas at my parents house! I remember hauling the loads and loads of presents i had brought home with me, my car was much lighter on the way home, not to mention the gas milage was so much better coming back!! haha

I am working nights this christmas, so while everyone is falling fast asleep and dreaming of sugar plums, i will be wishing i was at home, sleeping and waking up christmas morning with my family. But then again i do get to wake everyone up bright and early, and then i get to sleep all day!!

The count down is on til Santa arrives!!!
