where to start? ok i went and had my flu shot last night after work, and now my left arm is sore. it's sucks because it's always at these moments that i realize how important my left arm is and how often i run into it! there are these coat hangers in the women's washroom at work and i almost always run into them, i don't know why! and hugging people? i have to make sure that my left arm is on top of the other person's right arm! it definitely made it difficult today when i had a late lunch with tee and liz.

tee just came back from tanzania last night, and boy have i missed that girl. i'm so happy for her, she seems to have had an amazing time. i told her next time she wants to go to tanzania to let me know because i'd like to go. and knowing me, i'd go too! we were originally going to go to cafe demetres for dessert but after passing all these sushi restaurants we decided to eat sushi instead because tee hadn't had any since she'd left 3 months ago. mon dieu, i love sushi too much to go so long without! since i had some time before meeting the girls, i went to the eglinton centre and had laurinda gift wrap their presents so that they were all pretty!

tomorrow morning i'm going to blue mountain for the next couple of days. this year i'm going to try and learn how to snowboard. karina will be up on the 26th so i will go with her. it'll be a joint effort! until then i think i'll work on my skiing technique.

i'm also bringing up two movies, castle in the sky and amelie. i borrowed them both from alliance and so i'll be watching them in french. i thought i had this genius idea of watching the movies in french with french subtitles because i find that i understand better when i can see the words. i did that for the movie les miserables, but i found out that they don't actually translate word for word so that clearly didn't work out. i'm hoping these two will be better.

ames has also recommended that i read "hey nostradamus!" so that will also be brought up for some reading leisure when i'm tired of watching tv or knitting. i've gotten the hang of knitting now, the only problem is, i only know how to knit scarves. i'd like to try my hand at a toque, or perhaps some nice little mittens.

hey you know what's really good? peach and ginger tea.

everyone, merry christmas!
