A Story Book Post!

I hope everyone's Christmas was just wonderful!

Mine sure was.

Definitely one of the best Christmases I've had in a long, long time.

It was spent with all of the people I care about, eating way too much and even getting some lovely gifts.

Actually, I kept getting distracted as I was opening my own gifts to watch my family open up the presents I gave to them. I just get so excited!

I must admit, I'm very sad that Christmas is over.

Next big thing: New Years!

Oh, New years is going to be so exciting!

I already have my entire evening planned out! I'm not going to bother stating what the events are though. All I know, is it will be tons of fun!

Not to make this post a 300 page novel or anything but...

I've discovered the BEST game!! It's just marvelous!

JUST DANCE 2!

Have you played it?

It's pretty much the greatest game ever. It's fun and it's a work out. Bye bye gym and hello Wii games! Who knew, right?

And the last update in my life (if you have a queezy stomach don't read any further):






I puked twice last night. :( Like...really? What is happening to my body? I woke up feeling just fine this morning after my little evening escapades last night but now I feel terrible again. I'm supposed to go for lunch today too....water and a cruton anyone?!

Have a wonderful day.

I'll try and feel better...

Don't you worry about me... :(

Christmas Eve

I hope everyone has just a wonderful Christmas with all of their loved ones!

I'm excited to:

Spend time with my family.

Eat way too much.

Open gifts.

Watch people open up the gifts I've given them.

Look at all the pretty Christmas lights.

Watch more Christmas Specials!

Feel wonderful! :)



MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Town

You know the typical "Christmas Town"?
The one that is featured in movies such a "A Christmas Carol"?

Like a little village with little children running around in hats and groups singing Christmas Carols from house to house?

I saw this ornament the other day in Zellers and I got so emotional about it. (Really?)

It sort of looked like this (It wasn't this but sort of) and I just loved it ( I really should have boughten it):

A Christmas Thank You

I bet many of you didn't know that I sing.
I was in a recital last night. A Christmas Recital. I watched the many different faces go up and perform and personally, I thought everyone did a pretty amazing job... I didn't even do half bad! Who would've thought?!

The stage was beautifully decorated with lights and gifts and pine and as I listened to this lovely singer tell the story of a Christmas tale, I thought...
"Wow".
Am I ever happy.

And I don't mean just "content". I mean, honestly, and seriously happy. Like I'm excited for no reason. I want to shout from the rooftops about all the great things in my life.

And what better time for this to happen then around the Christmas holidays. It's always nice to feel truly happy on Christmas day, and to be honest, it's been a couple of years.

So Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone in my life who makes me smile on a regular basis.

You Rock, Don't Ever Change. ;)

I think it's about time to take that festive Christmas light drive to view all the beautiful houses who haven't lost the Christmas Spirit.

BRIGHT BRIGHT spirits! A "never been happier" Post for all you CYNICS out there!

I just have such a wonderful feeling in my stomach.

Something I'm not sure I've really felt before?

I just feel so excited about my life and the place I'm in right now. I'm excited for the things that I'd like to do but have no official plans.

For example, this Christmas. I'm excited to feel genuinly happy with all of those I care about throughout the Holidays. Something about Christmas just feels so much better when you are happy with yourself and aren't putting on some sort of act.

Also, I'm excited for the Summer. There's nothing better than taking a road trip. And you know what I'd like to try? Being spontaneous and just driving. Having no plans on where I'm going but just...driving. As far as I want in whatever direction I want. Doesn't that just seem fabulous?

Also tentative vacations. Tentative vacations are fantastic.

Chicago for Easter will be lovely!

I just love life!!! Being happy is great.


However if this cold persists...It might take away from my Christmas Spirit...just a little.

Thanks For Making This Winter Bearable

Dear Anyone Who's Listening,

I'm not a big fan of the crisp winter air,
but it's not so bad when you have someone to keep you warm.

Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and Ginger Bread Latte's help a little too.

Love,
Me.

Sappy Christmas Post!

I woke up this morning feeling so incredibly happy.


I think it's the honest Christmas spirit that I haven't felt in the past few years. You know that feeling where everything is just warmer and brighter?

That feeling where you just want to stand in the middle of the street when it's dark and look up at the street light where the snowflakes are briskly falling down inside the orange-ish glow?

Where you want to watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music every single day until the 25th?

When your family drives you nuts but you'd love nothing more than to spend a little bit of quality time with them each day because Christmas just...does that?

That feeling where you don't know what to ask for for Christmas because you already feel like you have everything you need?

Yes I love this feeling. The feeling of honest Christmas Spirit.

Love Life.

I've noticed that a big theme in my posts are how to stay happy from once being so sad and factors that brighten my day in general.

Life is pretty smooth sailing right now. I really don't have anything to complain about, only things to rave about!

So here's to happiness, good friends, boyfriends, hilarious family, delicious food and seasons greetings!

 

Sorry John...you're a part of my life, you're a part of my blog. DEAL WITH IT ;). hehe.

xoxo.

Oh.... and isn't this dog just the cutest thing you ever did see?

Happy December 1st

I woke up this morning in a great mood. I went to bed at 9 PM last night and felt well rested and ready to go!

I felt even better when I discovered that it was December 1st. The way I discovered this festive piece of information?

My Step Mom and her pure lovelyness when it comes to Christmas and festivities and happiness!!!! I don't know where she found the time to do this but instead of getting an advent calender for us 4 kids (I'm aware I'm 21, thank you very much, but no one is ever too old to celebrate the Holiday season!) she decided to make us 24 teeny gift bags with a different gift in it each day. Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard?! And to be honest, I hate the cheap chocolate in the advent calenders anyway.

Even better, this holiday season is bringing so much happiness to my life! There are just so many great things to be happy about. I honestly can't think of one thing to bring me down? How wonderful is that?!

I love being excited! :)

So Happy December 1st everyone! Hope your season is...."Triumphant and Joyful?" :)

I'm Drinking Christmas! I'm Drinking Christmas!

I would just like everyone to know, that this morning I decided to make a little trip to Starbucks.

When I walked in and looked at the drink menu up on the fancy wall, I noticed something that instantly made my heart flutter...

The Christmas Themed Coffee!!!

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I've always had this little soft spot for the Christmas drinks at Coffee Shops-That's usually the only time of the year when I will spend absurd amounts of money on coffee because well, I just can't resist!

Today's flavour: Gingerbread Latte!

I can already feel the warmth of Christmas all throughout my body! I just love this whole time of year when Christmas is everywhere: At work, at the mall, at the movies, (At Starbucks), at home...I think you get the picture!

Maybe I'll watch a Christmas movie soon? The Grinch? The Santa Clause? Four Christmases (Not really a classic, but nonetheless...VERY cute and VERY funny).

How exciting!

Forgive My Poor Structure.

I am going to be a total dork right now and get really excited for something extremely early:

Christmas!

Now that Halloween is over (and what a great Halloween it was) that means I can get excited for the warm feeling that is, in fact, Christmas! I have a good feeling about this Christmas. I think it is going to bring me happiness I forgot existed.

:)

I really am loving life right now. It's a nice feeling, you know, to love life. I almost stopped believing in a lot of things for a while, but the pieces are coming back together and I truly am grateful for everything I have right now and for the decisions I have made.

Please forgive me for my scattered thoughts. I know I go from talking about Christmas one second and then talking about beliefs the next. I don't really have structure when I write.
