xmas eve: went to work (not recommended). I was literally just waiting for the okay to go home early. absolutely non-productive given that there were noone there to begin with and those who are there, don't really wanna be. I went to the mall after and started my boxing day shopping early. got some great last minute deal, so that was good. I also attended a church service to end the nite.
xmas day: slept, tv, slept, turkey, Instead of santa, one of best friends came to town. we hung out and had some laughs.
boxing day: went to metro. crazy, but i still do it every year. some scooter man tried to run mall patrons over, including me. freak.
27th-today: We iHOP-ed to the mall and discovered the bridal store from hell. Never met such an elitelist, snobby, nose in the air little woman, who INSISTED we'd be escorted into the store by an usher. not only that, but we were only allowed in certain parts of the store (as oppose to the whole store). oh there is more...we were also told we would only have half-an-hour to browse and try things on. Like what is that??
Anyways did more shopping downtown and all around, had dinner with more friends, and met the Fockers. I love it when i am out and about cuz i am so regular sleeping and eating wise. feels good.
Other unrelated random thoughts:
Accomplishment for the day: fitted myself in a very tiny little parking spot. :D
Learned lot about me these couple of days too. How I handle certain things and not handle certain things; my logic, expectations, and my wants; Learning to explain for understanding purposes and not for pleasing. Trying to understand why I do what I do, behave the way I behave and feel the way I feel. Getting to the root of it all and seeing if i could change what I don’t like or accept what I can’t control. In a nut shell, my brain has been in self-management overdrive mode and its been draining....good, but draining.
mmm...what else. got picked up and think i may have been asked for sex (two unrelated episode). not sure if all the sudden attention is a good thing or not. most interesting though.
and oh yes...think i am going to like the upcoming movie "Hitch" with Will Smith. other upcoming attractions that i would like to watch also include: Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Miss Congeniality 2.

So I continued my merry way and tried to eye one that i think may have potential (rather hard since they were all tied up). Another five minutes went by before i found another one. I dragged this one to an isolated spot and slowly untied the darn thing. the tree flared out like a big flower and i thought, definitely one on the list !
