Working It

As we are moving out of Texas in a week, we have not even attempted to put up our own Christmas tree. That’s sad, right? What’s Christmas without a tree? :( And so, to make up for our treeless-ness, turned on our gps tracker and traveled all the way to Frisco’s Main Square to view their fabulous Lights Show. So if you wanted to know where we were last weekend, you could’ve easily found us freezing our noses off posing for the surveillance cameras over there. :)

Despite the nippy night, we still had a lot of fun viewing the lights. We only needed to tune our car radios to 99.9 FM and marveled at the lights as they danced to the holiday music. It was as if each little twinkling light had their own gps tracker too and knew precisely when to blink, it was great! Too bad my camera couldn’t really do justice to the light show, plus the poor camera’s battery also ran out so I didn’t really get to take better pictures. But at least, our friends in the picture made the memories much more unforgettable.

Thank you for viewing our weekend snapshot at the Christmas in the Square Experience at Frisco Square, in Frisco, Texas.

:: I prefer to be in the co-pilot’s chair, both literally and figuratively. I love going along for the ride :)

2. Do you have a lot of baggage, literally and figuratively?
:: Literally, I do have a lot of baggage. We are in the process of packing right now and for every box that I finish, I still have two to pack. Figuratively, though, not a lot. Actually, almost none. I already have lots of literal baggage to carry, I don’t think I’d want to be saddled with emotional ones too. Too tedious!

3. How much junk have you got in the trunk, literally and figuratively?
:: None. Unless you call onecall coupons junk, which I don’t think they are. Anyway, I don’t really have much trunk to put them in right now, both literally and figuratively, hehe!

4. At celebrations where people are drinking, are you more likely to be literally or figuratively drunk as a skunk?

1. When you’re sick in bed, do you prefer to be left alone or to be taken care of?
:: I prefer to be alone so that no one will be able to catch what I got. But, of course, I would love to have someone at my beck and call. :)

2. How difficult or cooperative are you as a patient?
:: I am actually very cooperative. I am a model patient. I hardly complain and I take all of my meds. Unless its hoodia gordonii, which of course does not make sense, haha!

3. It’s just a really bad cold so all you can do is ride it out. What are your strategies?
:: Drinking lots and lots and lots of water. Eating fruits, taking in Vitamin C tablets, and getting in some naps.

4. How ill do you have to feel in order to shut it down for the day?
:: Very ill. As long as migraine hasn’t struck me yet, I’m good. Other than that, a box of kleenex is all I need.

5. Waves of nausea are washing over you and through you. Do you fight them off, or do you just throw up to get it over with?
:: I try to fight them off, but if I really can’t I just get it over with.

1. How far ahead of time do you begin packing for a weekend trip?
:: The night before, haha!

2. What was your most recent purchase of a six-pack?
:: I haven’t purchased any six-packs in a long while. That is, if you don’t count six-packs of juicy juice. Or packs of custom address labels.

3. What do you look for in a good everyday backpack?
:: Roomy, stylish (preferably designer, haha!), can take a lot of beating. :)

4. Among people you know, who’s the worst packrat?
:: Ahem, my mom. We still have “clutter” from the 80′s, and I won’t be surprised if some 70s stuff still is mixed in there.

5. How do you know when it’s time to pack it in each evening?
:: When people around you look like they will pack it in for you if you still wont. :)

1. What has there been too much of in your life lately?
:: Love. No complaints here! :)

2. In what areas of your life might you currently be overextended?

3. What seems about to be going into overtime?
:: My husband. Always the workaholic.

4. In what way does your cup runneth over?
:: That I have a lot of love in my life and sometimes I even question myself if I do indeed deserve all of what I have right now. Being loved by so many people leaves me in awe. :)

1. Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
:: Just like me, they long to be close to you. Or maybe you have some bird seed in your hand.

2. What always gets you down?
:: Rainy days and Mondays. Or getting sick, which is why I make sure I always take my vitamins and calcium supplements.

3. If you had to live yesterday once more, which part might be worth writing a pretty pop song about?
:: Nothing, really. Because nothing interesting happened yesterday. Or perhaps that might make a pretty pop song – One Quiet Yesterday.

:: The Grand Canyon. Wow.

5. What’s something in your life that has only just begun?
:: Sharing horizons that are new to us. That is, the new horizons of Canada. :)

:: I’m a big fridge magnet collector so I took home a fridge magnet. Plus a lot of photographs.

3. What visible signs are there of your most recent injury?

4. What’s the neatest wedding favor you’ve ever seen?
:: Personalized mini silver frames from Tiffany’s. So posh!

5. What do you do with playbills and movie-ticket stubs?
