Oh my I’ve gone and done it again! Almost a week without updating...shame on me.

Well, the least I could do is fill you in one my week.

I’m still loving work but am really missing my friends. I eat lunch alone most of the time, cause no one I work with goes at the same time, my lunches are too late to eat with Aniter....I sometimes eat with Spiro, I can sometimes arrange to eat with David too..but for the most part, I eat alone. Blah. I don’t mind from time to time, but always makes me feel like I’m back in high school....But hey, what can you do right?

Funny thing about work. Sinmce I've started working there, at least one a day someone tells me that I have great looking skin. Now understand, I've NEVER had good skin. My pores are the size of dinner plates, it's oily and I break out.....but since I started working at Benefit...it's gotten better.....strange, must be the lack of stress.... And someone told me the other day that I look just like Toni Collette....?interesting..


I had not been feeling the Christmas vibe yet, until today that is..might have something to do with the 120 gingerbread men or the 76 shortbread cookies I made today.....maybe...or the Bing Crosby Christmas CD I had playing over and over....I guess it could be any one of those things.

I stayed over night at Marnie’s a few times this week, looking after her cat while she and the husband are away, it was a nice getaway but I am happy to be home now....

Last night I met up with spiro and he said he had a great surprise for me...surprise indeed...Because it was his “name day” yesterday, his mom made him a special treat: BAKLAVA. And last week I had made him some and he gave some to his mom and now she gave some to me! OH MY GOD! This stuff was the best tasting Baklava I had ever had....I was so sticky and nutty and phylo-y- that’s what baklava is meant to taste like.....It was great untl I noticed the honey had oozed onto my wool dry clean only pants and a few drops on my boots...suede boots....but you know what? It was worth it!


And today, things were going good, I got up, planned to go get the ingredients I needed for my baking, do some Christmas shopping, look around and then on my way to the bus....snap..I sprained my ankle....Holly crap it hurt like nothing else... I stood there for a few minutes no knowing weather or not to cry or sit down and whine... I opted to let a few tears out and go home... But home was very far away, I still had to get to the bus stiop, walk to the metro, from the metro walk to the train.... Not a lot, but when it hurts to walk...anything seems far.

Somehow I made it and my mummy took care of me. It still hurts tons now, even after taking extra strength motrin....I can move it sideways or up and down.....it’s pretty puffy too, a little black and blue......ouch....

I’m going to go take a nap now and resume the baking after that....

Promise to write soon!
