Winter not-so-Wonderland

Things have been wacky out here lately. The weather as gone from 79 and sunny to 50 and windy/cold/rainy and a matter of days and it could go back next week.. I've been working on some crochet projects for christmas and Im almost done as long as I dont decide to do more. I'm also participating in a Secret Santa for my favorite crochet group on Ravelry, I even got the first part of my present from my secret santa. I'm not quite finished with my present to send out. But I hope she'll like it.

Today I went to the chistmas party for my pet-sitting job. They had it at PF Changs which was nice, but they had us out on their patio, I assume because it was such a large group. It was pretty cold despite the many heaters because the wind kept creeping in. It was kinda fun, I won a little prize for charades (a battery-powered shoe shiner, obviously been regifted at least once). And we had a Bad Santa game where we picked a present and people could steal it. I got a 7 piece Olive oil set, its a long plate for bread, and olive oil bottle little plates for dipping and a little holder. Nobody stole mine. It came from Costco so I'm going to try to return it as it just doesnt match any of our stuff and its not like we really entertain.

My mom has been ultra-sick for over a week, coughing, sore throat, ickyness, fever. I keep making her drink this Vitamin Waters either the Defense or Power-C and yelling at her if she tries to do too much. Hopefully I dont end up getting it. I can't afford to get sick.

Today Bob and I went to get our Christmas tree before my party. We went to Home Depot.Last year we didnt get one because we were moving and went to Sara's, so last time we got a tree was 2 years ago in San Jose. The Home Depot there put their trees in the covered nursery area. For some reason here they put them in the parking lot, uncovered. It was pouring rain today and frakking cold. I didnt think they would do this so I was dressed warmly with my warm coat on, but no hood and no umbrella. There was absolutely no cover out there not even while in line to pay or get the tree cut. I was so cold and miserable. Luckily the cashier worked pretty fast so it didnt take too long, but ick. I'm totally allergic to cold.

Back to crocheting...
