One thing has to change next year! When someone decided that you should have a limit as to how many times you can steal a gift during dirty santa, it was for a very good reason! My brothers and uncles went around in circles with the tools for a good 40 minutes....we played 2 rounds so that each person would end up with 2 gifts, this game lasted well over 2 hours....which was ridicules! I was ready for it to be over. My uncle finally came to his senses and picked a gift that his wife wanted and ended the madness. I ended up with a sushi making kit (which justin will love) and a HUGE box of chocolates and a little tabletop fountain.
Lots of good food and good times with family. I'm so glad Christmas isn't for another year, sad, I know. Hopefully next year Justin and I will actually be able to afford Christmas, however there is nothing wrong with being frugal and making gifts. Next year it's Christmas with the Hunter Clan!
P.S. Go see "Yes Man"!!! There wasn't a single second in that movie that wasn't funny! It's PG-13 minus one disturbing part involving an old lady....ugghh it gives me the creeps just thinking about it!
Hope you all enjoyed your day!

It's not the same this year...
I miss snow. Having 75 Degree weather on Christmas is not normal.
I miss my other family (Justin's) who fight but are actually quite functional!
I miss the Christmas lights that line Cedar Citie's main street.
I miss Christmas Eve mass.
Most of all I miss Justin. He is working doubles on Christmas, so I decided to celebrate with my side of the family this year instead of sitting at home alone....they are already driving me nuts. I hope Justin will enjoy spreading cheer at the hospital tomorrow! I should be making the best of this great opportunity to spend time with family but it's just not the same without my Justin.

I hate hate hate the restaurant business.
Saturday I had an impossible table. I was rushed since I was double sat, if you don't know what that's like imagine expecting only one baby and then finding out its twins at the due date and having 2 other small children to deal with at the same time. I was doing exceptionally well! Towards the end of their meal they ask for a manager and complain that I was the worst server they had ever had! Are you serious? I was totally oblivious to the fact that they might ever be upset. Apparently they were upset from the very beginning, from the drinks to the salads all the way to the very expensive steaks and exspensive bar drinks...they even said that I SLAMMED their check on the table and had a bad attitude. My coworkers couldnt beleive it "What? Val acting unpleasant?, that's rare". So I sucked it up...well okay not really, I bawled I was so upset by this table treating me like dirt. In the end they got their entire meal for free (it was a 60 dollar bill) and my manager sent me home. In it for a free meal? I think so!
Also if your gonna leave less than a 15 percent tip you shouldn't be eating out PERIOD!!!!!!! If it wasn't for servers your food would be more expensive. Plus when I get cheapos I feel like I am dust under the rug to them!
