not my fave

i cannot believe how quickly this month came and went.  i got out of work early yesterday and we took advantage of it.  we went to the grove to have dinner at maggianos and walk off dinner afterwards.  it was so cold!  later that evening i made us some peppermint godiva chocolate coffee and baked some cookies.  it was nice to spend one last time at a festive location before it's all gone.

i got some bad news on the way home.  one of my ex-bosses and friend passed away recently.  i don't have all the details yet so more on that later...

this morning i began to take down some of the christmas decorations.  i said to myself that i would not try to do it all in one day and instead do a little bit every day.  i think we are going to take down to tree tomorrow morning since it's not looking so good any longer.  we're thinking of getting an artificial tree for next year.  i don't know if there are any left but we're going to check out some stores this weekend.

i am looking forward to this weekend very much.  we have plans tonight to see george lopez with our friends and we're all going to dinner beforehand, special dinner.  i cannot wait!  also, my family arrives from mexico tonight around 11pm.  i am very excited to see them and have missed them very much.

i am also looking forward to new year's eve.  we are going to spend it with the same peeps we're going out with tonight.  one of the couples is having a party at their house.  party!!!

now back to packing up stuff...ugh!
