we drove scott and candice back to calgary on monday. they are great. my family already loves scott, and now they love candice. i believe what was said was "scott has himself a very sweet girl."
cam found the pickle and got himself a glass snakes and ladders drinking game and a box of every flavor harry potter jelly beans that he graciously shared. 
people were running for the garbage after eating sardine, rotten egg, ear wax, and vomit flavored jelly beans. the video of it is damn funny.
we decorated a gingerbread house (well, me and my chicas did, while the guys played video games). xmas eve was awesome.
we were at granny's for dinner xmas eve, auntie dorth's for xmas day breakfast, back at granny's for xmas dinner, at uncle frank's for boxing day brunch and then back to auntie dorth's for my cousin darren's goodbye dinner yesterday. and now... we rest. aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...

pics from my xmas party last night...
i was very self conscious in my new top (pretty though, huh?).
our entertainment for the evening was a group of hawaiian dancers.
jennifer incognito.
almost "m" of "ymca"... but mat is dancing. mat!!
niki, karleen and me infront of the epileptic christmas trees.
yup yup. lots of fun. d and i had our picture drawn by a characaturist and we won a golf package for 2. i thought he would want to take cam, but he asked me to go!! sorry cam... well, not really, but you know.
just an update for those of you who read about my tough day last week... i saw my girl on monday and she made good on our contract. at the end of our visit, i asked her if she wanted to make another deal with me (no cutting) and she said no, cuz "our deal is already forever." she testified on tuesday and the screen was up for her (yay!!) and she is doing very well.
so i keep being hounded by numerous people to post something. something from the xmas party, or just something. so here... SoMeThInG!!!
more to come... but i'm a busy chica!!
have you ever been scared? what about sad? have you ever been so scared and so sad that you cut yourself just so that you could have one reason to explain all of the pain you feel? probably not.
today i contracted with a 14 year old girl to not hurt herself between now and monday. she had cuts all over her arms. she is going to court on tuesday to testify against the guy who sexually assaulted her. they aren't sure if they are going to put the screen up infront of her when she testifies. the defence uses this as a "tactic", the fighting for the screen to be removed, in the hopes that the witness will either run away or kill themselves before the trial. nice. i fucking hate this world.
i would just like to say that i loved my weekend.
i love that so many people came out to my party.
i love that even the crazy drunk girl didn't ruin the evening. i love that the only thing that made me cry was the poem that mel wrote for me.
i love that jennifer gave me playdough and that everyone played with it while we were in the bar.
i love that j was the first one there and stayed for the whole night.
and people ask me why i love my birthday so much...
