So finals have been over for a few weeks. I survived. I didn't do nearly as well this semester as I had hoped but at least I'll have a goal for next semester.
Christmas came and was filled with lots of Cookie decorating, baking and gift giving. I got Tim quite possibily the best gift I've ever given anyone (well that's a possibility. I still have to give something to Allison soon...). I got him a Blues Jersey with the number 67 on the back and "Wings Suck" on the back. He's a happy fan and boyfriend. :)
I've yet to receive my gift from him. He's a last minute shopper unfortunately and thus had to order it online after the store sold out. I'm pretty sure I know what he's getting me though.
A few days from christmas I had a potluck dinner with my best friends along with our secret santa exchange. This year, I got Erica and made her a scrapbook/storybook combo. I worked incredibly hard on it and she seemed pretty content, so I'm pretty happy with the result. Hailey had me this year and got me a KIPKIPKIPKIPKIP as well as a book that's very similar to the Post Secret books that I'm in love with. Only the idea of this is that they sent out a ton of Journals and when they got them back they took excerpts and put them into a compliation. It's pretty neat. I haven't looked through it all cause it takes a bit more effort than looking through post secrets but I'm pretty psyched for it. Oh! And she also got me a cute little basket which she made a fabric insert for. :) I'm kind of on a creativity kick right now.
With all my christmas money & gift cards I went out and bought seasons of tv shows. I went season happy.
I bought season 2-6 of Grey's Anatomy, 3-5 of How I Met Your Mother, Season 1 of Angel and season 1 of Parenthood. I love love loooove black friday and day after christmas shopping. Deals are fabulous when you're a poor college student.
For Tim's mother this year, I bought her an incredibly soft blanket from target (which I'm hoping goes on sale again soon so I can purchase one for myself...even though I have too many blankets already). I also made her a scrapbook for Tim and his sister's gift. It was very rushed but it turned out very well and I was extremely proud of it.
Currently, I'm working on the other 3rd of Tim's christmas gift. He's seen it several times as I was too excited to wait till it was fully done to give it to him (and I did keep his biggest gift a secret after all). It's a scrapbook of 2010. It starts in January where we attended a New years party in Columbia and it'll end in December where we're all dressed up for another New years party. I'm pretty proud of this one too and when I get the chance I'll take some pictures and put them up for you guys.
Right now, I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. Since Sunday (3 days ago) I've gone through all of season two and half of season three. It's incredibly addicting and I'm glad I'm getting this out of the way while I have all of the seasons out on dvd and I'm on break with nothing else to do. I'm also burning Boy Meets World seasons to DVD for myself and Allison. When I'm done with those I'll move on to Rugrats and Ah! Real Monsters. :)
This week a few friends and I went and visited a place down in The Loop caled "Cheeseology" it was pretty good. It's a restraunt (maybe?) similar to subway where you go up and order, but they'll bring it to you. They have different versions of Mac'n'Cheese and they're all resonably good. Of course the Original tastes weird now that we're all used to Kraft's noodles and powder cheese in a box (which of course is the best "original" ever). We went to Froyo afterwards, which was an additional bonus.
My apartment right now is a freakin' mess. Scrapbooking stuff all over the dining table, clothes all over my room...but I'm on break, and I don't care.
I'll update next week sometime with pictures about all of this and New Years. Hope all is going well with everyone!
