Happy Boxing Day everybody!
I'm sure most of you are lazing around today, eating leftovers and enjoying the Christmas vibe. We're doing the same thing, hanging out on Bowen Island with our friends, sipping wine, eating cheese and all sorts of yummy foods. Right now we've got two people playing Xbox in the media room, two people sitting by the giant fireplace in the Great Room, and I'm typing away in the bunk-bed room, and one more person is playing guitar in the master bedroom. It's a relaxing day for sure.
Hope you're enjoying the holidays!!

Can you believe it's almost Christmas? Where has the time gone??
It's been a busy weekend of preparation for our Xmas with the gang. We won't be making it home this year again, but we've got some pretty sweet plans. Most of my weekend was centered around Costume Preparation [Big round of applause to Larissa for helping me out]. No secrets revealed yet, but this years Costume Theme for Al's Birthday Party Extravaganza (i.e. Christmas Eve) is Sci-Fi. Fan-tas-tic. I'm fairly certain everyone's costume is going to rock!
There hasn't been a whole lot of Christmas music or movies being played in our house, instead we're watching really random things like "Boogie Nights", "The Matrix" and "Tropic Thunder", oh and there was "Bad Santa" too - ho ho ho
Sean and I decided that since it's a short week before Xmas festivities begin, that we'd get treat ourselves and get three days worth of groceries at Whole Foods [ http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/ ] (Fantastic Organic Grocery Story). I can't believe how much we spent on food for essentially three meals. Do you think that the grapes we got tasted so amazing because they were organic, or because they cost $9 for 2lbs? Tough Call.
I'm so excited for the holidays though - gorging on food, wine, books, rock band, costumes, and naps. Much needed.
Happy Holidays Everybody! And Play Safe!

Fun News, I've joined an Estonian Choir with some friends!! Seems they were running short on members so I stepped in to bring the number to 5! Woo!
I went to 2 rehearsals over the past couple of weeks and then today we debuted at a Christmas concert at the Estonian Church. It's great to be singing again, especially with friends! Sean's been super enthusiastic which is great, he even came along to the concert today and snapped a (yes, 1) photo. There are only 4 of us at this point because we're attempting to lead a sing-a-long in Estonian. This is funny on many levels.
P.S. My new favorite Christmas carol is "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"... in Estonian. Give it a Try!
JÕULUVANA ON TULEMAS
Ei jonnida saa,ei nutta nüüd saa,
Keegi võib tulla kuulatama,
Jõuluvana ringi ju käib.
Nimi saab kirja ,selgeks saab siis,
Paha või hea ,kingid saanile sea,
Jõuluvana ringi ju käib
Taas päkapikud liikvel,
Nad üles märgivad.
Saab jõuluvana teada nüüd,
Kes kinke väärivad.
Ei jonnida saa,ei nutta nüüd saa,
Õpime laule ,tantsime ka-
Jõuluvana tulemas on.

Had an excellent weekend around the house and celebrating Sean's birthday. Saturday we had some folks over for a little birthday wine-tasting party. This party's theme was "Bring a Wine That Best Describes Sean" (open to interpretation) and everyone succeeded. The tasting part wasn't taken entirely seriously as we were really just getting warmed up for 3 hours of Karaoke downtown (same place we took Mom and Dad). Once again we sang our hearts out, Aerosmith, BonJovi, Disney tunes, you name it and we conquered.
Sunday was spent recuperating, napping, playing Left 4 Dead, and watching "The Italian" (So good! Lisa, watch it!).
Otherwise, I'm working, counting down the days until Christmas vacation, and watching Doctor Who and House. I've never actually watched more than 2 or 3 episodes of House but my Dad let me borrow all of his Seasons so I'm learning to love the M.D. I've gotta admit the first Season was pretty blah and repetitive but the second season has some actual character development. Plus I never get tired of Robert Sean Leonard, except I keep wanting him to stop everything and start dancing while yelling "Swing Heil!!"
And now I leave you with this clip of Dennis Quaid on Ellen. My brother posted it today and I could watch it over and over again just to hear him yell "Dennis Quaid is Here!"

Peaches Rocked Last Night. It'd been a few years since we'd seen her, and we missed her last concert in May because we were jet-lagged from our vacation.
So this was just what we needed. Amanda Blank opened for her, she was pretty cool but not quite as cool as Peaches.
Things Peaches does well:
- Random Costume changes usually worn in layers (I think there were about 7)
- Crowd Surfing
- Kicking People who Touch Her
- Literally Walking on the Crowd (they held her up with her hands)
- Rocking
- Raunchiness
( Crowd Surfing and Walking )

Ugh, I lost my keys.
I've still got two stores to call tomorrow just in case, but I think they're gone.
Typically I don't lose things, Sean does (sorry Sean no offense, but you know it's true). And so I've spent nearly two hours digging around the house looking for them to no avail. It's not the key so much I'm frustrated about, it's the Strong Bad keychain and Firefly keychain it was attached to. My gym membership tag was on there too, that shouldn't be too hard to get again, but come on - Strong Badia Stop Sign!!
**EDIT** I found my keys! Woot Woot!!
