So I finished my Christmas project. After many tedious hours and the dozen trips to the Superstore for more ingredients and candy (partially because I was eating everything faster then I was constructing it), mom finally got tired of the mess in the kitchen and I got'er done. My Trek Toronto gingerbread store, which is now on the cashier counter in the Trek store in Toronto.
My chipmunk cheeks from having my impacted wisdom teeth pulled has almost completely gone away. What an interesting experience that was. I was so swollen! The pain only lasted for the first two days or so. It was funny watching people in public looking and probably wondering if it was real or not. I had to take 5days off training... could be worse I guess. I’ve been back training since last Saturday. With Adam, we've done pretty much all our hours outside. As long as we're not wet, I don't mind dressing for the cold. I did do 3hours inside for the first time today (an hour strength and two 2:15 on the rollers. Watched "The hangover" (so funny!!!).
Oh, we got our Christmas tree the other day J It’s always been a tradition that the entire family goes in our forest and hunts for a tree. Dads always said if you cut a tree from the ground, well than its dead. But if you just cut the top 8ft. or so off the top of a 50ft. tree than it will just grow back... so this is what we do. Doing it this way also means the tree is a bit of a surprise when it hits the ground. The top is nice and full...the bottom, well, its gunna have to be a corner tree this year hahaha. With everyone’s hectic schedules it’s usually hard to get all 9 of us together but when do, it’s pretty hilarious. I have a video I want to put together in the next day or so.
Tucson... the plan is to begin our 3day road trip starting Jan. 1st. Still searching for a place to live but it’s hard to believe this will be our fourth year training there.
The other night we had a knock at the door. It was the lovely random drug testers. Only took an hour of their time and 4 glasses of water later.
What else is new?? Oh yah, LOVE the iphone!!!! Greatest technology purchase I have ever made :). Twitters still fun. I thought for sure I would give it up after a couple weeks but it’s pretty cool to follow other people.
Alright, I better go eat my salad before I’ve completely picked and eaten all the toppings off
Enjoy the holiday :)
