WORK

- Here's a video from today. Christa was collecting all my Iced Cap cups to recycle. I admit I am not very good at recycling or picking up my old cups. Christa didn't know I was videoing her here....she totally makes me laugh

HOME

- we still have our tree up and I'm loving it. I just love the smell of it. My son got a Wii and a lot of money for Christmas

- I was totally spoiled for Christmas by friends, family and clients -- thanks again to everyone

PERSONAL

- I read three books this week as I had two days off work. It was nice to catch up on some reading. I read a lot and plan on finishing another book this week. I joined a book club last week. I only read non-fiction. Mostly: human behavior, business, finances, parenting and fitness. The three books I read this week were all on human behavior. My current book is on parenting.

Merry Christmas everyone!

#7: "my grandparents during the christmas holidays 2007. This was a very happy christmas for all of my family as my uncle who lives in B.C. had came back home for the first christmas since I was 5 ( 2007= me at 21) The entire family was together again and there was nothing that would make this christmas any better. Unfortunately, this was the last christmas my grandparents shared together as my grandpa died instantly on sept.16,2008 when a tree he was cutting snapped the wrong way and fell onto him crushing him. My grandparents loved eachother very much, they had cute pet names for eachother , my grandma was Baby doll and my grandpa was elmer... they were an amazing couple and they always put smiles on my face just watching how happy they were , this picture resembles love to me because everytime I look at it I can feel all the love and happiness just the same as I did the day I captured the love they shared." -- Jessica
