Killing Time At work! Happy Holidays!

First of all i'd like to wish everyone a Happy Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Channukah, Christmas or anything you do celebrate! Even if you do not celebrate anything I do hope you have a peaceful and stress free holiday season! :)

I had to come into work this morning to babysit the office just in case. There is no one here and I am sipping on apple cider that is much to expensive...I had a craving for it and the coffee shop downstairs has Starbucks prices..yikes! I also  had my ipod on, dancing around here (it's a HUGE office). Figure I might as well enjoy myself if I'm going to be stuck here all morning!

I will head home in about 90mins and probably do some writing. My partner won't be home till 2ish. When he gets home we'll light a fire and chat, perhaps have a relaxed dinner eating on the couch and sip on a few martinis (his idea!). Apparently he has made me a gift (or at least something he was working on). It's unlike him to do things like that so I'm thinking he is trying to be sweet since this is my first holiday without my dad and I wasn't able to get home. I'm actually curious as to what he's come up with! I will hand him his two Gap thermal long sleeve shirts and call it a night :) I think he wanted to finish installing the new sink and toilet too! can't wait!

Tomorrow is Baklava making day, followed by our usual drive around the city to see what's open. We'll try to find a chinese place to have lunch (as many chinese are Buddhists and open their restaurants..YAY!) and we know of one coffee chain that will also be open. Nothing in store for the evening, I'm thinking just a downloaded movie and microwave popcorn!

Unlike for most people, this is a VERY quiet and boring time for me. I usually have nothing to do and no one to see. The only friend I have here is out of town though i do expect to see another friend this weekend who has come to town to see his family. :)

I received a special surprise from a woman i never met but we've communicated online alot as we have many of the same interests. It was a $25 Ebay gift certificate delivered to my email! WOW! LAst  year she was out of work and i gave her a box of organic fruits and veggies delivered from a local place where she lives. She told me not to feel bad and not to feel like i have to give back. I guess that's the spirit...giving!

I think I'll do some more dancing, followed by more writing :)

Peace and blessings to all during this holiday season!
