HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
we aren't quite there yet in our time zone, but i am hoping to be asleep by then, so i am typing it in...doesn't really matter anyways, cause we are almost dead last to get to midnight anyways, so, it will be new years for you if you are reading it now, or it will be the new year when you read it in the morning...
all i am going to say is this...this is my new year's advice...
go be the best person you can be this year...improve yourself in as many ways as you feel like, and if you fall down, pick yourself right back up and keep going...if you miss the gym one day, go the next day...if you weren't as kind to yourself one day, be doubley kind to yourself the next...make your life better, make who you are better, love yourself more, do more acts of kindness, swallow just a bit more pride than you are used to, smile a little more, say "I Love You" and show it by your actions, say a prayer for somebody, call that friend you haven't talked to in ages (who you really miss), make a special dinner just for you (and your spouse/significant other)...and DAGNABIT!!! pat yourself on the back once in awhile...you deserve it!!! and you know you do...let's make our world a better and happier place to live!!!
HAVE A HAPPY, SAFE AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

what'd we get for christmas???
well, will got me the best thing ever!!! i knew what i was for a couple of reasons...1) i saw it about 2 days after i came to california 2) i wrapped it for me from him...lol
it is a Team Canada jacket from the '04 olympics...it actually matches, i do believe, to the '04 olympics pants i bought...it is basically one of the last olympic clothing made by roots, now that hudson's bay company is doing it...which, ironically, is now owned by an american company...so, the americans are going to make the canadian olympics uniforms now...
for him, i got him a Team Canada hockey jersey from the '02 olympics...now, me, him and sol have a jersey...
(i would post pics, but something funky is up with our printer, and that is where i insert the memory card, so, until we figure out what is wrong with the printer, i cannot post pics)
from his family we got, a new crockpot, decoarative jars of peppers, cooking utensils from our registry, can opener from our registry, towels from our registry, garbage can from our registry, black hawk down dvd (for will), body lotions from victoria's secret (for me, obviously)
it was a great day, and all we did was relax since will was sick...christmas with his family ws on dec. 17th...
you know, he apologized to me for having such a lame christmas...i was just glad to be with him on christmas day...it was our first christmas together...we just finished paying for a wedding...i didn't care that there wasn't hundreds of dollars worth of stuff under the tree...we didn't have the money to do that, we don't really need it anyways, and i was just happy to be with him for christmas...he is so special to me, and this was the best christmas ever!!!

i am so ready to kick the computer...
now, i know, some of you may think this is violent behaviour, that maybe i should take anger management classes for, but DAGNABIT!!! it's driving me bonkers...
"why???" you ask...
do i really need a legitimate answer, or can it just be an answer???
our spyware subscription just expired a couple of days ago, apparently, and that spyware is very handy to have unexpired, i have come to realize...you don't even realize what it does until it stops doing it when it expires...
i've been signed out of everything, so now i have to resign in all the time (even my blog)...and then it pops up security warnings all the time forcing me to not just be able to go into hotmail, but i have to say "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR STUPID CERTIFICATE OF SAFETINESS OR WHATEVER IT IS!!! I JUST WANT TO SEE MY EMAIL!!!" :-)
anger issues, sorry...
and, i can't even sign into theknot.com...i know, how sad is this, but these are my bride buddies from canada and they are asking me questions, personally, like actually saying, calicandiangrl, have you found out yet...??? and i can't answer them...they probably think i have died or gone away without telling them, which nobody does, or that i'm being totally rude by not answering...which is the least likely to be though...
but, either way, i am weeping, wailing and gnashing my teeth cause i can't talk to them...i even tried signing up with a different name and stuff, and it just won't let me into the site to do anything...i can look at the conversations, and i can see they are trying to talk to me, but i can't respond...and that is killing me!!!
oh, well...what do you do???
i think i will go back to bed to start...it is 6:10am right now...i got up, well, forced up, at 5:06am to make will's breakfast and lunch (which is normally willingly do, but 2day i just didn't want to get out of my nice, warm, very comfy bed), so, what did will do, stole my covers...many times, cause i kept stealing them back...he's not very good at stealing them and keeping them away from me...lol
i will probably restart my day around 10am, so, maybe i will write more later to compensate for the lack of writing in the past week...
toodles...
fyi...just so you know, it did not take my 8 mins to write these last couple paragraphs, from 6:10 to 6:18, it took me a while to publish post cause i have to re-read and fix typos...

no longer a 'virgin'...
will had the fabulous chance for the first time in his life to take Buckley's cough syrup...
oh, boy...did that ever go over well...
i heard about it the next morning...
"that is the grossest stuff i have ever tasted...and it's not only the taste, it's the consistency...it's like drinking snot!!!"
"did it work?" i asked
"you know, i have to admit, it did work"
so, to say the least, when he took it again last night, he mixed it with honey...but was tempted to mix 7/8 honey to buckley's rather than the suggested 1/2...
will is no longer a Buckley's virgin... :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
okay, maybe it's a little early for the rest of you, but will's family is doing christmas today...we filled the kid's stockings last night and sol woke up and was so excited that santa made a special trip...
scammers (camille) has yet to get out of bed, but it is only 7 am...i was up at 5:45 and sol was up before me...crazy kid!!!
probably in the next hour i will be waking up scammers and head off to grandma's house...that means i have to get the other kid's stocking stuffers, all their christmas presents, my salad bowl and salad making food all together so i can take it over today...then will is getting off early so he can be there too...he is only doing 5 out of 10 hrs, so i will leave linda's to pick him up at 11:30...
on another note, my birthday was good...nothing really too special...michelle called me first, but i predicted that (and that's easy to do, since she is 3 hrs ahead)...i was out taking will to work so i had to cell her back when i got home...mum called next while i was on the phone to michelle, so i talked to mum for a bit...then i hung out...i went and bought dog food, stocking stuffers for will, and then some groceries...
i came home and cleaned and made my birthday brownies, and linda also called me and sang happy birthday to me and kari-lynn sent me 5 birthday e-cards...that made me feel very special... then scammers came home and then i picked up sol...i went and picked up will and then we came home and i made tacos for dinner...
scammers sent me a birthday e-card while i was picking up will, and sent another one after dinner asking if we could eat the brownies...lol...she REALLY wanted brownies...
they were brownies with walnuts and chocolate icing, with crushed both mint and cherry candy canes, mini choc. turtles and crushed toffee bits (like skor)... SKRUMMY!!!
i will try to post pics here...
this is obviously my birthday brownies...
and blowing out the candles...
the kid's stockings after santa filled them (he'll fill our later)...
and shawnessy being festive...

we did a really neat thing today...
will and i went to his great-grandparent's and grandmother's grave today and placed our remaining wedding flowers on their graves...
it was a nice way for me to see what they looked like (pictures on tombstone) and learn a bit about them...and to share with them a piece of our wedding...
it was a very unique and wonderful experience...the flowers looked so pretty next to their names...

my favorite part of christmas is...
wrapping presents...
i couldn't really tell you why, but i love wrapping presents...i already have all the presents wrapped...for his family, my family (those are even sent out), and our little family...
i want to buy more presents just so i can keep wrapping them...lol
and not only that, but i can wrap anything...so not joking...any shape, any size, i can figure out how to wrap it...i just LOVE wrapping presents...
so, there it is...my favorite part of christmas...
oh, and here is a pic of our christmas tree...
and our mantle...(i am still hoping to be able to add garland, but i don't know if i will this year...)
(p.s. i have no idea why one picture is bigger than the other...)

i hate UPS...
every time i think of them and the wedding dress i could have had...that i paid over $1000 for...i get so angry and near tears...
i got a letter in the mail today saying they lost it and i have to fill out this claim form to get money back...well, since it wasn't insured, we will get shipment $$$ back...woo-freakin-hoo!!!
you know, even if i had been the one to actually mail it, i wouldn't have though to insure it...i mean, it's UPS...if it was the mail, heck ya!!! insure the package...but you think you can trust ups...
and not only that...they always ask if you want to insure it if you go into the station to mail it, so why don't they ask when they come pick it up???
i think we should sue them...
but that is just my personal. humble and well-respected opinion...

a second attempt at showing...
MY DREAM HOUSE
so, i tried to post the actual pictures right here, but they would not reduce in size no matter what i did, so i decided to try linking them instead...
the first one is the floor plan that i am in love with...i love everything about it and i want to have this house...it is 4 bdrm with potential to be 5...
fyi, if we were to have this house built, we would use the opt. bath in the master...

MY DREAM HOUSE
so, i tried to post the actual pictures right here, but they would not reduce in size no matter what i did, so i decided to try linking them instead...
the first one is the floor plan that i am in love with...i love everything about it and i want to have this house...it is 4 bdrm with potential to be 5...
fyi, if we were to have this house built, we would use the opt. bath in the master...

alright alright...
i'll do a new post, too...
i told michelle on her blog that it was time for a new posting...she had not posted anything btwn sun and thurs...well, she listened to me and posted...
well, she just told me it was time for a new post...i guess i haven't posted anything btwn last thursday and today...but in my defense, i was out of town for 5 of those days... :)
well, i am in the process of uploading the few pics i do have on my camera...
you see, i forgot to pack one thing and one thing only...the charger for my camera...and apparently, i had very little battery life in it...so, i had to severely limit my picture taking on my camera...which is really too bad cause i want to see pictures REALLY badly...ask Kari-Lynn...lol
the wedding was perfect!!!
it was quite chilly outside because of the wind and we were right next to the ocean...
we had a lot of positive feedback about the bagpiper we hired...he did a fabulous job...
we had it videotaped by a friend who does that for a living...so we know that we will get quite high quality...he videotaped just the ceremony, not the reception...
sadly, i do not think we will have much of any reception pictures...i don't remember any camera flashes there except for the cake cutting...
since it was so cold out and we had NO time between ceremony and reception, we only got a few pictures taken...we were going to do them the next day, but will hurt his knee and wasn;t up for it...so, we were going to do them the next day, but he had forgotten and he had not shaved and to do that would have taken forever (trust me)...so, i am quite disappointed about that...i really wish we ahd got some pictures...we are going to hire somebody in the future to do some formals of us, and i am thinking that sometime when we come up home, we can get family pics taken...kl and i bought some gift cert. for a photography place up there for cheap that will get us no sitting fee and a free pic, so we could probably use that, too...we will seea bout all that though...
all in all, it was a great day...so much, in fact, that i want to do it again...
well, i will try to post a few pics in my next posting, and then when i have the good ones, i will post them too...

as ready as i can be...
so, i think i have about as much done as i can...i have the last few travel arrangements to figure out, but that is it...
i did the special pages for the guest book yesterday, i picked up the favor bags (i am going to have help assembling them in monterey, i think...i don't want to get them all ready and then try to pack and not squish 50 favor bags), i made the dinner cards, i asked aunt sherry and aunt linda to take care of putting the flowers on the cake, as well as take special pics of me walking down the aisle and stuff ( since my photographer is also my matron of honor), mili and shawn are going to pick up the flowers and bring them to monterey, linda (will's mum) is going to pick up both the groom's cake and wedding cake and bring it out friday night...she will also be the one telling people where to stand for the ceremony, christine (will's sister) and bria (his niece) will be doing my hair and make-up, mum made all the bridesmaid dresses, i've just about got all the stuff together that has to go with us to monterey (favors, the secret lingerie, guest book, rings, christmas presents)...you know, all the stuff needed...
funnies...when doing invites, i asked will who from work he wanted to invite...we invited shawn and his family, bobby and his family, sgt. casto and sgt. medina, rick and sam and his family...well, all but sam and his family are coming...plus a few others who decided they wanted to come, too...so, apparently, bart and his wife will be there and rich and his wife may be there (pending they may have to attend in-laws mother's funeral)...so, our final count is 43-45...
i am going to have my nails done today...french manicure...the one thing that sucks, though is that i tried SO freakin' hard not to break any nails so they would all be the same length...and what happens 1 & 2 days b4 my appointment, yeah, 2 nails broke...they didn't break right down to the skin, though, so hopefully it will be okay...
well, wish me luck...i'd say tell me to break a leg, but a friend already joked about how if she said that and i actually fell walking down the aisle and did break my leg...yea, funny... :)
well, as is now custom, i will post the wedding weather update in the next post...heck, i'll just put it in this post...

new christmas day...
so, i am REALLY glad that i am going to be on a ride-along with will on christmas...cause apparently, christmas with his family is on Dec. 17th this year...
nope, not the 25th...the 17th...
although, even if for some reason i cannot be on a ride-along, there is a family in the ward that invited me over, so, either way i guess i won't be alone christmas day...
but, yeah, apparently his sister is going to be somewhere else for christmas so we are celebrating it Dec. 17th...
so, the day after my birthday is christmas...will and i won't open our presents to each other that day, or will his kids from us...our family will still do it christmas day...but with his family it will be early...
