Wow...what a week! It's been a fairly good week, emotionally and spiritually anyway. Physically, it defintely wasn't the best week ever. Headaches that last for hours, probably two hours a sleep each night, emptying out the contents of my stomach on Wednesday night, slicing open my finger with a knife, and other random stuff all adding to a fun week!
Last night I had the chance to go out to eat at OLIVE GARDEN (one of my absolute very favorite places to eat!) with my work for our Christmas party. It was soooo nice to sit back and relax with everyone not having five hundred children running around interrupting conversations. We exchanged gifts after we ate. I was sooooooooo excited to give my gift to my secret sister! I couldn't even talk to her all day at work because I was wayyy excited. Finally my turn came and I handed the gift over to her. She started to open it and then immeaditely starting crying leading three others to lose it. (to all men: women tend to see others cry and like a chain reaction others will follow) My heart pounded soooooo rapidly seeing her reaction. Her face though streaming with tears, was lit up in complete joy.
I put together a scrapbook page of her family and framed it. I put all of her three things in one gift- scrapbooking, her family, and gardening. I took the pictures of her family (which her husband gave to me) and cut them out like flowers. I used emblishement stickers like bees, butterflies and ladybugs for fun decorations. I labled it Robin's Garden with my quote "The best garden a woman can grow, is her family" It looks soooooooo more awesome then how I am explaining it. Just seeing her face, made the four hour job all the worth it.
I love spoiling people so much! I love buying gifts for them. Whether it's for Christmas, their birthdays, or just because I want too...its just so much fun to spoil people. Anywhoo...I should get some stuff done so I feel somewhat productive (I did get up at 8:00 this morning to babysitt so that was good...but Im aching for a nap. We'll see...)
Oh! To Kevin, the grammar nut, can you look at my love story I posted and lemme know if I made any grammar mistakes that should be fixed, puhweeze? Thank you kind sir.... : )
