<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, December 24, 2005 :: Christmas has begun! Last night I had Christmas with Alex. He was so thoughtful with his gifts - they all had a theme of "keeping Cathy warm." Fuzzy pyjamas, warm softest socks, gorgeous leather gloves. And Lindors - they might not keep me warm, but I love them more than anything. I was so excited for him to open my presents: jeans, a shirt, a year's subscription to Canadian Musician, 2 Pilates DVDs, and Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15-year old scotch (from St. Maarten, naturally). And now I'm just waiting for Matt to come pick me up and take me home to the farm. YAY Christmas! :: Cathy 9:14 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Thursday, December 22, 2005 :: Well, the holidays are here and it's just another excuse for me to procrastinate. Apparently, I need an entire night to wrap a couple of presents and get my baking organized to give out. Suddenly I realized that I had not made ANYTHING appropriate for my Logan Movers co-conspriator, CityRat as he is allergic to anything with any type of milk solid in it whatsoever. I assume that means butter as well. I could have been more organized and thoughtful and created a masterpiece for him. On second thought, my baking isn't really all that, so he should probably be thankful he doesn't have to pretend to enjoy it. Next year I will leave myself more time and create more variety. I will also think about presents that must be sent via Canada Post earlier and do those first. Instead of thinking about sending them the night before they're meant to be there. Next year I will put up my garland myself instead of waiting for the braun to help me. On the other hand, I can think about all the things I DID do: Merry Christmas - be sure to enjoy it! :: Cathy 7:22 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 :: Seriously, have you been to AllRecipes.com yet? I was looking for some non-sweet options for my Christmas "baking" and clicked on their special Christmas section and found all sorts of gifts: soup in a jar, cookie batter in a jar, mixed spiced nuts, holiday caramel corn. I read all the reviews on each recipe I was interested in, which saves me a lot of pre-testing work. I saved all the good ones to my recipe box so that, tomorrow, when I go to work, I can log in, decide which to make, create a grocery list automatically, print it and buy the ingredients. (I just happen to work across the street from the Great Canadian Superstore - my favourite store if I don't go to the Bulk Barn.) Then, I can print out the nutritional information for each item, so that everyone will know exactly what they're getting. Mom would be proud! And THEN, Betty Crocker has this cool christmas cookie-decorating e-card ad. So I had to play with that too. I mean, why use any other site? I don't work for these guys, I promise you. But when I like something, I really like it. :: Cathy 7:06 PM [+] :: 1 comments :: Sunday, December 18, 2005 :: Merry Christmas! It was a Christmasy weekeend. Friday night, Alex and I decorated my tree. Click on the link to see Alex helping. We didn't manage to get my gorgeous dollar-store garland with lights up as we had to get to a little Free Press Fan Christmas party. Saturday, I shopped for Christmas presents until the stores had closed their doors. I got some great deals and fantastic finds! My feet sore, I dropped into bed. Sunday, I did some of my Christmas baking at Sarah's house. She is a baking goddess. I was able to give her the Christmas present that I've been excited about since the One of a Kind Show. (Check out the CD labels at Mehoi.com and jewelry at Propaganda.) After making myself sick, licking the chocolate out of the bowl, I got myself home to create yet another Christmas baking masterpiece. And all the while, listening to Christmas carols on traditional radio (97.3 Easy Rock) or Internet Radio (did you know you can choose Motown Christmas?). Giddyup jingle horse! :: Cathy 8:02 PM [+] :: 0 comments
