Christmas Parties and Early Presents

Can we pause for a moment to say thank you for coffee?  After this whirlwind of a weekend and the way this week is shaping up, I am going to need a cup of coffee the size of me every day this week.  But it's almost Christmas break!  Woohoo!  Even though I have lots of projects for work I want to get done, I won't have to go into the office for 2 whole weeks.  And that is pretty darn exciting.  Assuming I make it until then.

The weekend started off pretty exciting.  Sadly, my almost 6 year old 13 inch Macbook Pro has been on it's last legs for awhile.  I finally hit a wall with it.  Because I need to be able to easily work remotely over the holidays, it was time to bite the bullet and get a new one.  So we went shopping.  I had planned on getting another 13 inch, but by the time I upped the memory, ram, etc. to where I wanted it, the sales person asked why I didn't just get a 15 inch?  It was the same price, a better graphics card and dual processing.(My hubby does a lot of video and photo editing with my laptop so it has to be powerful enough to work for him too.  Hence, the upgrades.)  So I went for it.  It is bigger definitely.  But even the 15 inch weighs SO MUCH LESS than my old 13 inch, it's pretty incredible.  And I must admit, I'm enjoying the slightly larger screen.  Now I just have to find the time to transfer everything over.  #firstworldproblems  Merry Early Christmas to me!

Friday night we had my hubby's company office party.  Since half of the company is family, and the other half is like family, it's always a lot of fun.  And of course, yours truly put my clutch down when we arrived and didn't snap a single picture until later in the evening.  (Stay tuned later this week to see what I wore and a giveaway!)

After staying out much later than we normally do on Friday night, Saturday night was a bit slow.  But I have almost all of our Christmas wrapping done.  Just a few more items to finish up this week and I'll be done!

Sunday was spent taking Christmas card photos (ours and some of our families).  Normally I have them ordered and mail out by now. Not this year.  Oh well.  Here is a sneak peek of what Buoy wore.  He matches our wrapping ;-)  Can you tell he is so over having his picture taken?

How was your weekend?
