So the past few days of holidays, Erik's birthday, and weekend of getting caught up on household organizations went well. Got some cool gifts (whole season of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, the entire live action series of The Tick, a real string of pears that Eden bought for me in China with matching earrings, some awesome perfume from Flor and some other things, and bought stuff for others. Saw some great movies, like Paycheck (seriously, I wasn't expecting it to be good but it was really fun) and Big Fish (awesome), and some other movies which were also pretty cool, Bad Santa and Gothika. Made soup last night, mostly based on the wonderful recipie from Randy (it would have been the exact recipie, but my soup pot wasn't large enough so half way through I had to improvise, also added a few other veggies to it) and now I have lunches to bring to work for practically the whole week.

Erik called me up this morning, he let me know that his grandmother passed away. I may find myself going with him to the funeral if he is able to go himself, still haven't figured the logistics of all that.

I'm really sad for him, but am glad that he was able to make it out there to visit when he did. He's really worried about his grandfather, they would have been married for 60 years I think in August.

I'm going to go and visit my grandpa this coming Saturday, it's been too long and he's turning 90 himself. He's gone completely blind since I last visited him. It's just been too damn long.

I did have New Years plans (party at Jonathan's) but may find myself freezing in Minnesota within the next couple of days so we'll see.

*sigh*

My week didn't really start out as planned, new exercise and diet plans already broken.
