Gingerbread house making

This year, it was simple.  Take kit and make it with just the items it came with.  I got into a fight with the frosting, but other than that it was a piece of cake, no falling walls on the house, this year unlike last year. The trees were another story.  Anyways, enjoy the pics of gingerbread house makin' 2008...

It's Friday





Elise awoke me this morning. She drank a whole bottle of water before she went to bed. I guess she knows what happens if she does this so close to her bedtime. So I am wide awake now, almost 2 in the morning, when most of San Diego is asleep right now. I will go back to sleep after I wind down but I always feel like a zombie in the morning. The weeks have flown by. Ed already had his holiday party, we stayed the night at the HR hotel in downtown SD. So once a yr., it is a valid excuse to drink too much. Luckily, this time, I did not vomit. It was nice to see how partiers do it once in a while and how spending too much money feels like, without actually spending it (company party, company tab). Also, on my adventure last weekend, I ate fish. I never eat fish, but the funny thing, the fish wasn't fishy. But I am not a fish eater, so that was my hazy experience eating fish. This week has gone by too fast. The massive consumer holiday christmas is almost among us. I did not buy myself the Ipod touch I want. This year, I will pass on buying for myself. I do need gym socks though, maybe that will be my splurge. It feels weird seeing commercials for stores like Mervyns on the tv, saying they are closing their doors forever. I think that is where I bought my childhood wardrobe. Sadness on the memories of watching the open open commercials and the brands like ellemenno, cheetah, etc.. fade away. This holiday isn't like all the others that we will have massive present opening sessions. But at least we have each other.

Paris on my mind


Tout le temps.... mais pas le temps. Translation: All the time, but not the weather. Now how can le temps, mean the time and the weather?? I love sunny and warm. I guess that is why I live in San Diego. Also, I am not financially stable to travel right now. I have to keep my job secure and cannot spend any discretionary income. Did I mention real estate is worth nada anymore. Nada equals no credit lines. If I can have goals, then my goal is 2010....Paris awaits me again.. If I do not spend (see spending blog, starting Jan. 09), I will go to the city of lights. I am still learning this difficult language with my dictionary always by my side in class. I am even on Paris time... It is apres midi there now. But soon, I will return to San Diego time...otherwise I may turn into a pumpkin *(potiron), possibly at work today. C'est la vie.
