Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend. Last week was a crazy one around here. I feel like I was going to a big party every single day of the week. Looking back, it was most of the week, but not every day. Haha. I think they try to get most of the festivities done at the very beginning of the month so people can go on vacation or focus on graduation week.

Between all of the parties, I spent most of my time crafting away on my office cubicle, which has slowly-but-surely turned into a gingerbread house. There are only a few really edible things on it, so hopefully there won't be any nibblers! I worked so hard all week that on Friday I spent the evening relaxing at home with Ric.

Saturday we went to a Kings game with the Hutchinses and as soon as we got back, I turned around and went back to LA with my sister to see The Barber of Seville at the Dorothy Chandler. It was great to see an opera where I was familiar with most of the music. It was also a lot of fun. The only thing I didn't care for was sitting in the cheap section, where lots of people forgot to silence their phones or thought it was okay to text during the performance. Texting at the opera, really?!

Sunday was another chill day. We went to church and came back home. I had plans to go to the candle light procession at Disneyland with a friend, but I wasn't feeling well, so I ended up watching White Christmas at home and sleeping a lot.

This week promises to be easier than last. Shopping tonight, an appointment with my sister to go buy a new phone tomorrow night, a Christmas lunch date with my old library supervisor on Thursday, and hopefully some Christmas tree shopping! I also get to work on Christmas cards all week.

Updates:
I went to the allergist for environmental allergy testing on Wednesday. Apparently, I'm allergic to many things, and I have possibly been attributing some symptoms to other things when allergies were the culprit. I always think of allergies as sniffing and sneezing, but I think my frequent headaches are probably a result of them as well. I'm going log my symptoms for the next few months and then evaluate with the allergist whether or not I would want to start getting weekly shots.

Okay, that's all for now. Back to the movie posts - I'm still a month behind!
