Hollie's birthday thing ended up being fun. I popped a couple of Tylenol and was feeling a lot better by the time I left to go pick everyone up. Dinner was great, except I ate way too many garlic rolls so I wasn't too hungry when my dinner came. We had a waitress named Kari who was great :) The only problem? She didn't give us crayons to draw on our table with. Oh well.

Christmas was good. Kit came over to my place since his family had gone up north for the holidays and he was home alone. Thanks to everybody for their gifts and cards and xmas greetings :)

Isn't it funny how the older you get, the less joy Christmas seems to have? This Xmas was an exception. Probably a combination of having my brother back home and having Kit there. Plus...Steph called! Poor thing was stuck working from seven (in the morning!) until midnight on Christmas. Anyhow, she flew back in from Davis the day after. Glad to know she's back home :)

The next day Kat called me (of course, I didn't get her message until yesterday night but whatev), telling me that she got her number from Damon. I haven't talked to her since this past summer (when I still had my old cell) and haven't seen her since....my god I can't remember.

I spent that evening with my Nishi girls (Lina, Leanne, Leslie, and Denise). We met up at Leanne's place then headed out for Paseo Colorado. We shopped, had dinner at Islands and then saw Cold Mountain. Truth is? I didn't really want to see it until I heard about all the awards it was nominated for. Even after that, I only wanted to see it because it was supposed to be good and not becasue I thought it was going to be good. It ended up being a really good (albeit long) movie. By the time we got out of the theater it was past one and freezing.

You know, we'd known each other virtually all of our lives and have done so many things together. We've watched movies, had formal dinners, stayed in hotels, gone on retreats, gone to Magic Mountain, made dinner, had sleepovers, etc. Yet that night was the first time we'd ever actually gone to a sit-down restaurant together. Go figure.

On Saturday I did nothing of importance. And in a way? It felt really good.

Sex and the City's 5th season is coming out on DVD on the 30th! I thought I was going to have to wait until April/May to go buy it, but then I realized that season five was a short season (due to the pregnancies of SJP and...I think Cyntia Nixon was pregnant too...?) so I guess that's why it's being released early :) For those of you who don't know, I'm a SATC addict without cable. I'm a season behind. Such a shame the show is ending :(
