all of my other pics can be found on flickr.com. i think that this is going to be the last pic/post of the night.

For my birthday, Todd bought me a cell phone. Not just any cell phone, a model that is not made any more and was my favorite all time phone. That was such a great, unexpected gift!

Our apartment had a decorating contest and whoever won got a free month's rent. My roomie went all out, my only contribution was the blue lights in the window. Unfortunately, we only got honorable mention, which include two free sessions at a local tanning bed. Oh well!

This is Abbey and me at her Christmas with my parents and grandparents. Yep, she got her OWN Christmas :p

I finally downloaded some pictures to flickr and found this handy dandy little "blog this" button. These roses are ones that Todd gave to me on our one year anniversary. They were beautiful!

What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
Submitted by Roxy.

i enjoy holiday music, the classic, older style of holiday music.  i think that my two favorite holiday songs are "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" sung by Judy Garland and "O Holy Night".  i recently bought a Christmas music cd that is composed of various singers, including Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, and Dean Martin. 

It is a really good cd, even if bm made fun of me for listening to it before thanksgiving :)  my roommate has decorated our apartment for the holiday season.  we now have icicle lights hanging from our balcony, garland and bows on the banister, and various Christmas tree lights on the inside of the apartment.  i have no idea w hy she decided to go all out this year, but it is fun and she did it all without wanting my help!

What's your dream career? 
Submitted by Something.

hmm, that is a good question and one in which i have been thinking about in depth for the past year or so.  i guess on one hand i want a career that will pay me to do nothing.  isnt that lazy?  that probably is not really what i want, i would get bored quickly.  my ideal career would be something meaningful and one that i can have fun doing.  the ideal career remains illusive for me, maybe one day i'll figure out what i want.

What's your sign?  What do you think of astrology and horoscopes?

My sign is Scorpio.  Now i have to say, i give little to no credit to astrological signs and determinations, but it sometimes is silly fun to read a horoscope or review the particular characteristics of a sign.  i am not sure how accurate the description of a scorpio is in relation to my character and personality, i guess that it is just fun meaningless information to know.

What's the best way to spend a rainy day?

at home, cuddling in front of a boring movie.

What are your weekend plans?

no plans, that is what the weekends are for, not making plans :)

last night we went to dinner with some of bm's friends, it was pretty yummy.  then we headed to rent a movie and grab some starbucks.  i got a pumpkin spice latte which is delightful, makes thing of fall turning into the winter.  we

watched a good movie, too.  i can't remember the name of it, but it is about a ballroom dancer that teaches a group of urban mistfits how to tango and waltz, then of course changes each of their lives forever.  it was very predictable, but funny and lots of fun.  bm even liked it, he laughed and laughed and laughed.

tonight is up for grabs.  we can do anything, the world is ours for the taking. 
bets are that we sit on the couch and watch football.  another thing that the weekends are for.
