O Christmas Tree...



On Thursday I went out and got my very own Christmas tree for the first time - a nice tiny little tree for my apartment. It's about 4' tall and was just big enough to fit all the decorations I have accrued over the years. I never bothered to decorate before as I've been traveling for Christmas over the past few years.

I also convinced my mom that she should give me the old ceramic table-top tree that my grandma made years ago, so now I have two trees!!

Though I'm not exactly sure when I'll have time to enjoy them. I think there is some sort of Holiday function every day for the next week. Not that I'm complaining ;) Tomorrow is work-related party 4/4 (yeah, I know I have an awesome job) and then lots of stuff with friends and family. Luckily, I'm almost done with the Christmas shopping - I only have to get my sister-in-law's gift(s). I'm not sure exactly what to get, but at least I know where to shop. I did finish making my nephews' gifts for Christmas though, which turned out pretty well:

Weird Weird Weird


I got an email today saying that my cell phone bill was ready. (I don't get paper bills, how environmentally friendly of me.) The strange thing is that it was from my old cellphone service provider - a December 2009 bill for a phone I canceled in AUGUST 2005.

Yeah. Not sure what it's all about. I haven't heard from them in over 3 years at least! So I called. I almost didn't. I thought about leaving it for another day; telling myself I was too "busy" to do it tonight. But I called and I'm glad I did...

It turns out that they still owe me a bit of a refund. $27.45 to be exact. A nice little windfall, and the cheque's in the mail.
