Christmas Party




Leigh and I hosted a grande event - An Interactive Christmas Party!

The evening started with a delightful array of hors d'oerves and Leigh's famous Thai Coconut Soup over a rousing game of Rummiking.

Then we moved into the Dining room where we ate ham, and potatoes and corn. Under our plates I had placed a number of different roles and requirements that each party guest was expected to fulfill. The laughs continued on all evening as Mark was a born "preacher man", Ben continued to make toasts all evening, and Simon had to get people to come over and cut his food, since he couldn't use his right hand. Leigh was sarcastic man, I only spoke gibberish, Ross told stories of when he was young, Carlene interrupted with Christmas carols, and Sarah fed her mom and reminded us of the dangers of life.

Later on we retired to the living room where we opened small gifts for each other. The girls watched "Elf" the movie, and boys got started on Poker. I guess Ben and Leigh were the ones to walk away winners that night!

We had a great time!

Yeah. Mark totally should have gotten "sarcastic" then he could have relaxed and been himself all evening long.

Sounds like a big game of sharades.

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
