Ugh, Still Full...

I’m still full!  Wow, last nights dinner was so incredible.  I don’t think that I’ve over-eaten like that in years.  The Baron makes sour-cream potatoes the likes of which I’ve never had before.  Not to mention my Mother’s turkey which was absolutely amazing.  

Now in the final few days before New Years I really have no plans and I’m very much going to try and keep it that way.  I’m super excited that Matthew and his Fiancé are coming to town for a visit and I’m also looking forward to the New Years party Lisa and I are putting on.  As I’ve complained about before it’s generally quite difficult to get people to commit to coming to a New Years party and this is turning out to be no different.  The best excuse so far was the one I received today “Hey KS, we can’t make it your party I got my wife pregnant so she can’t drink!  Pretty cool though huh?”  So obviously I’m not to upset about that.  Either way I’m sure we’re going to have a great time.

The weather in Vernon has been particularly unseasonable lately as well.  Christmas Day was 8C which caused many people to complain that it “didn’t feel like Christmas”.  Frankly I’m not one of those people.  Overall I’m really quite happy about the lack of snow aside from the fact that I’m riding around on $500 worth of snow tires!

As today is Boxing day, or rather the beginning of Boxing Week as most retailers are calling it now, I may go out and do a bit of shopping.  I’d received a gift certificate for the music store in the Vernon Mall so I’m thinking about going out and picking up a couple new CD’s.  Tomorrow I’m taking Raph’s brother to Kelowna so he can do his Christmas shopping (he was really sick before Christmas) and so I can buy some new clothes at the MEXX store with my Christmas gift certificate.
