SURPRISED

Ok so once again I have Jana telling me that I need to update this thing, although I don't know what her problem is, it's only been a week since I last wrote! And that's pretty good for me too!Oh well, I guess it has been a week after all. So yeah, I'm finally on Christmas vacation. I have ten days off and that's the most time off I've had since May. So you can imagine how excited I am to be able to sleep as long as I'm able to every morning instead of having to get up at 5! And being able to nap whenever I get tired and not having to worry about how it's going to mess up my sleep for the night! The last week of work was nice. Extremely busy, but I didn't really mind that too much. The students left and that left me free to clean some things that normally can't be done when students are around all the time. And I got off work at 9 yesterday morning too. It just doesn't get much better than that! (Except if I didn't have to work at all, which would be the ideal ofcourse. But seeing as how I did have to work, only working for 3.5 hours is a very nice alternative) Yesterday afternoon wasn't so great though. I went to a department Christmas party just before lunch and ate a lot of sugar. A LOT of sugar! And that really messed up my blood sugar level and so I was feeling quite ill for most of the afternoon. But I started feeling better after supper which was good because Steve and I got together and exchanged Christmas presents. And boy did he ever surprise me! Flabbergasted is a good word for it actually. First off, he got me a gift card to Chapters, which for those of you who know me would've been good enough. But then I opened up the second box and was stunned to find a gorgeous glass plate that has a butterfly imprinted into it. The thing about it is that it was something that I first saw 3 weeks ago at the Musicale craft sale and which I had showed to Steve in passing. Little did I know that he went back and bought it later that day! That turkey knew exactly what he was doing, but I gotta admit that it was a fabulous surprise!
