Chirstmas is comin' and the goose is gettin fat...

holy cow. finals just about killed me. i think, and i can't say for exact certain yet, that i passed all of my classes for this last quarter. i am not sure of my grades, as they were not posted when we left on thursday the 17th. i can say that i am quite excited to be able to go to bed at 8 o'clock at night if i so desire. wow either i am getting old or just worn out from all the running around everywhere. Christmas is on friday. that is exciting and also intimidating. i have only been sucessful at giving one of my gifts to my best girl friend, lis. i bought one thing for zach, but i can't tell you all what it is because i think he does read my blog every now and then. i hope he likes it. i do have a few other things that i want to pick up for him for Christmas. i know he will like the one, but i am not sure if he will just laugh at the other or think i am just a bit bizzare. oh well. he will still love me.
i have my brother, adam for christmas this year. if ever there was a more difficult person to shop for...it's him. he says i could just buy him ammo, but i was informed that leagally you can't mail it. he won't be able to come down from wyoming for christmas. i didn't have his present ready at thanksgiving. so i will have to mail it to him. i keep thinking perhaps i should just send a gift card, but what is out in wyoming that is also here in utah? if i were smarter, i could just do an online gift card thing. but where to? and will he appreciate my lack of a real present? meh. it will just have to be one of those things.
i am excited that i get to officially start my two week break tomorrow. i do have two massages lined up monday afternoon/evening. and i have one lined up tuesday afternoon. it will be good practice for me. i can't decide if i want to try and schedule other massages in the rest of the week with it being Christmas and all or if i just want to relax and enjoy. i do have several people that have requested time from me, but won't actually coordinate a time. it gets very frustrating. i think i will be needing a planner/schedule book for my sanity of scheduling. it is slightly harder with me still being in school, but if i plan ahead, i can make things work.
on a way exciting happy note....lis & i got our visiting teaching done before the end of the month! we felt really bad about the last few months as we have not been good visiting teachers. but we got it done today! hooray!! and zach was able to come to all of church today! he has been scheduled every single sunday since he started at best buy. because of it, he has had to miss all or parts of church. but today he got to come to all of it! yahoo!!
zach and i had a date last night. we went grocery shopping. he made us go up and down every single aisle. and some we had to go down a few times because we missed things. it was rather funny. i don't think zach likes shopping with me though. i think this because last week we went to the store and i kept saying, "it's cheaper at maceys. why are you buying that here?" "why get that one that costs more and is smaller package when you can get this one that has more for less money?" i think he was getting annoyed with me. so finally i said, "fine. do what you want with your money." he is still really patient with me. sometime this week we are going to go Christmas shopping. i hope that the crowds aren't too bad and the deals are amazing. i need to find something for adam and zach is going to look for stuff for his family. then we have to stop at the post office to mail the presents. it will be nice to be able to spend time with zach in the evenings when i am not exhausted from work & school. well...i can't think of anything else that is exciting at this moment, so i will sign off. Merry/Happy Christmas!!

Zach's favorite thing is not shopping. If he went shopping with you for a date it means he really loves you. :)
