pre-xmas craze
Yeah...the last almost-two weeks has been a blur.
Mini-ABM's log: Day 3
Relatively calm day. Then afterwards, Tricia and I dressed up in big formal dresses and went to Valley Fair so she could get a bra for her bridesmaid dress. Lawl. We didn't get as many weird stares as we thought. And yay for being able to use all three of my coupons at once! If one of the salesgirls said so, I was not backing down at the register! Hah. Then we changed back into normal clothes and went to get pho. She tried out the ghost pepper flakes I got her. Bwahaha.
Mini-ABM's log: Day 4
Erm...yeah I made little notes to myself. This day seemed to be stressful? I think it was the day when BM was telling me we couldn't redeem savings bonds, and I said that we could, but we didn't issue them anymore. She said she was going to check the rule book and left, and never came back. Lolol.
Mini-ABM's log: Day 5
FAIL.
And then later that night, I got really drunk for Andy's birthday. Well, not more drunk than he was, of course. Hahaha. Ran into Kaela! She was the bartender, and damn was she a good bartender! Crashed at Becky's place, and thank you to my drunk self for setting an alarm for 6 AM so I could drive back home to get ready by 6:30...
Mini-ABM's log: Day 6
...and get to work by 8:10. Oh man we were all hurting this day. Our BM was trying to get us perky again, but I started feeling queasy after the adrenaline rush of loading cash, Madiha was cramping, Tricia was kinda dead, Eason...always looks like that, and Nicole was like, "I wanna go home!" xD
Sunday, went to SF with Cass! We weren't quite successful in what we were looking for, but it was still fun. Siri is a dumbass bitch. Thank you to the non-English speaking old man who used his son as a translator to help us find the restaurant. Haha I was hella paranoid, but thank goodness they were good-intentioned.
Mini-ABM's log: Day 7
I had too much coffee. And I got one of those fckers! RAWR. Then after work, Tricia and I got some Heather time, finally. I picked up pho to go and brought it back to Tricia's, and we killed a few bottles of wine. It was very nice to have a rant session. Haha.
Tuesday...yay Joanna was backkk!! :D Had our branch Christmas dinner that night at The Basin in downtown Saratoga. Nice place. Our BM brought two bottles of wine from her husband's cellar, and they were prettyyy nice. Hahaha. Skirt steak, mac & cheese, and truffle fries. Yum! And white elephant! I stole Joanna's, which was hot chocolate and mugs...and then I noticed she'd unwrapped something with a bar of Ghirardelli chocolate...unfortunately I didn't get the chance to steal again. Hahaha.
Wednesday was a short work day. Found out MCD doesn't have the bagel sandwich for breakfast. Sadness. So I got McGriddles for Tricia and me. Haha. After work, it was go go go. Racing the sunset to make it to visit Mommy so I could bring her some flowers while it was still sunny. I made it though! The security dude pulled up right at 5:54, but I was already walking back to my car. Sheesh.
Thursday...work, then tried to kill time waiting for traffic to get better by going to Valley Fair. Parking wasn't too bad, but it was intimidating at first. Traffic *would* end up worse. Haha. Whatever. Got some last minute Christmas shopping done.
Friday, had my eye checkup, got an oil change, then rushed to work. Afterwards, zoomed over to Adrie's. Man, I was in such a go-go-go mood. Argh. Stuffed our faces at Arby's, then headed over to Nick and Catrina's for white elephant! Shotski. Omg. -__- Haha. It was fun. The donut on a string. Hahahha. Powdered does go down faster! xD Cass, Adrienne, Crystal, and I snuck over to Adrienne's at one point to do a present exchange. Oh, Miko. ^^ Thankfully, we missed the spinning shot game. D: And then that damn clip game. Somehow, Adrie and I always end up at Denny's afterwards. Haha.
Saturday...I basically slept most of the day away.
Sunday...was pretty confused to be waking up on a Sunday and not Saturday. Stormy. Tried waiting it out, but decided to just go to Target. Closer than Costco. =T I don't think I've spent that much in Target. Ever. Ugh.
Monday...that brings us back to today! Dragged sis out to Eastridge with me. Found a box of chocolates, picked up a few more stocking stuffers, then bounced. Took a hot shower, and now I can't find one of my rings. I know it's in my room, which is driving me nuts. I know I need to clean it. It's been overdue for two years. But still! Wtf! I put both rings down, but how did one bounce away so far? T_T My finger feels so naked right now. =/
