Pickle-weasel!

2016 is when one of my very good friends want to go to Disney World for her 30th b-day, so I might be heading to Florida as well.

It was fun. We're going to hang out on Wednesday after work because he's going away for 3 days this weekend.

I have a lot of photos, just have to upload them to my computer.

Sounds like you had a pretty busy weekend as well.

Lauren Helen Graham

So you mean I'll have to plan my trip for a different time of the year

Where is he going? Aww, so great you enjoy the time you're around him and that's definitely a good sign

I've got the problem that my laptop doesn't connect with my iphone anymore. I need to get this fixed.

Yeah, the weekend was busier than expected. But I enjoyed it. Today I had my first day back at work and now my colleague is sick. So I won't see her the next three weeks again.

Pickle-weasel!

Yeah, well my friend's birthday is at the end of October so...

I actually don't know yet, I was planning on asking him tomorrow when we hang out. Yeah, I like hanging out with him and so hopefully we're headed in a good direction. I know that I look forward to hanging out with him, and from the texts I get I think he does as well.

Oh that sucks about the iphone, do you know why?

I'm sure going back to work wasn't that much fun.

I can't believe there is only one weekend left before Christmas.

Lauren Helen Graham

Oh, that sounds good... Since mine is at the beginning of November and I would love to not be at home for it.

Ah, okay, so you don't know yet as well. Three days should be possible to survive

I asked an IT specialist at work and he thinks I'll need to get a new one because something is wrong with the slot on my phone. And since I bought it this year I'm sure I'll get a new one for free easily.

I love my work and I love to be back. Especially since I'll have almost 2 weeks off again starting on December 24th.

It's crazy, isn't it? And here it's still really warm outside which is super funny. Snow and some cold would be so much more fitting for Christmas.

Pickle-weasel!

Yeah, one day I will go to Disney on my birthday. I actually would have loved to go in 2015 for my birthday because it's my golden birthday, but alas that won't work with going to Florida this year and California next year.

So he's going skiing with his brother, his brother's girlfriend and dad. His brother won't be around for Christmas so they're celebrating early. We're going to go on a date after the holidays, he has two weeks off from work so should some extra time to get together.

Oh no, well I hope you can get a new one then.

More time off? Wow, I'm jealous.

We got some snow earlier this week so it's definitely looking and feeling like winter here. It was raining though last week and it was weird.

And that means it's almost 2015, what happened to this year? I can't believe it.

Lauren Helen Graham

So it's California for you next year? That's pretty cool! Disney there I assume?

But what does your golden birthday mean?

A date That sounds awesome. I can't wait to hear where and when you go!

About my iphone... I needed an appointment there because I have to take my laptop with me. So another try at the Apple Store on December 29th.

Yeah, more time off... But that's it then for a while Promise.

Aww, some snow? For Christmas I really would love some snow as well. But it must be gone on the 27th again. Sadly, there'll be no snow this year.

Oh yes, the year flew by... It's unbelievable. I have the feeling the older you get the faster the time passes.

CityGal

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

Lauren Helen Graham

Aww, thank you so much!

A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you as well!

Pickle-weasel!

Yes, we're taking Torrie to Disneyland for the first time and then we're also going to do LA and we're stopping in Las Vegas as well. It's going to be so much fun, I can't wait.

Golden birthday is when you turn the age of the number you were born on, so my golden birthday is when I turn 28. My sister had hers when she was 3, but I keep saying I've been waiting 28 years for this! Which I really have, I remember when I was younger thinking that it was so far away, only 3 other days are able to be later golden birthdays then me.

We're going on our date on Friday the 26th, we're going to dinner and the observation deck of the Foshay tower which is downtown, we're planning on going during the sunset, but we'll see how that is because we haven't seen the sun in days. I'm really excited though.

Yeah the snow is pretty much all gone now, it's rainy and dreary and it sucks! It doesn't look like Christmas at all.

But I agree with you on the time going by faster as you're older, when you're young summer seems so long. It's weird how that works.

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well to you!

Lauren Helen Graham

Wow, that'll be some hell of a trip I'm sure it'll be amazing and I can't wait to hear about it.

Mine was when I was 3 as well I've never heard about it before though. Pretty cool that it's something special for you.

Sounds like a great dinner plan. You have to tell me afterwards how it went I can't wait to hear about it.

So no Christmas atmosphere for you either? That sucks but at least we're in it together...

I guess it's the time for me to wish you a merry Christmas, Ria Have a great time with your family, enjoy the food and the gifts. Don't forget to take a picture of what you got It's always so exciting to see.

Pickle-weasel!

I know, I'm really excited for it, I just hope that everything goes to plan.

Maybe golden birthdays are only something in the US? But yeah it's definitely a thing lots of time the birthday has a "gold" theme going on.

I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, well Saturday.

It did snow a bit today at my uncle's house, so I guess technically we had a white Christmas? But not really. Christmas without snow just isn't the same.

Merry Christmas Kris, I hope you had a good day with family and friends celebrating. Mine was a busy day but lot of fun.

Lauren Helen Graham

So... Since it's Sunday already I definitely need a report about your date How did it go?

I'll leave in a few minutes for the birthday of Sascha's half brother.

Besides, I've been a little bit MIA because I'm working on a The Blacklist music video right now. I'm almost done. Would you like to see it as well when I'm done?

I would be a fan of golden birthdays That's for sure.

We had some snow on the 26th as well So yes, we had a white Christmas, too... There's still some snow left and it's really cold outside

My Christmas was great. Busy as well but a lot of fun, delicious food and people I love. What do I want more, right?

Pickle-weasel!

It was really good. The Foshay tower was really cool, we didn't catch the sunset because it was overcast, but the views of the city at night was really cool, especially with the Christmas lights set up. And then we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was really good. Then we just went back and hung out at his apartment, so yeah it a good time.

I've never watched The Blacklist, but I'd enjoying watching your video Kris.

It started snowing late on the 26th, actually right during our date and then continued through the night, so the next morning we had snow covering the ugly brown grass.

Yep, isn't that what Christmas is all about? I had a busy Christmas as well with going to family on my dad's side in the morning and then my mom's side in the afternoon/night. We do a secret santa with my cousin's so it's always fun to see what everyone gets everyone. And of course the food was delicious, we do a breakfast at my uncle's which I look forward to all year and then our Christmas dinner was delicious as well.

Lauren Helen Graham

Aww, so great to hear that you had such a good time together. And that the moments and view in the tower were so fantastic (I swear I thought of a completely different word I wanted to write but I forgot it ) - OMG, I wanted to write magical I just remembered... Wow, it's late here and I'm getting old.

So here you go, the video. I think it doesn't matter if you have seen the show or not, just follow the lyrics and the clips


Sometimes I myself enjoy watching videos of shows or movies I've never seen

See, like it did for us. I guess we've got the same weather at the moment... Last night it snowed like crazy!

Wow, your Christmas indeed always sounds so great because of your big family. Ours is a lot smaller but there's mine and Sascha's so in the end it's a lot of people as well

Pickle-weasel!

Yes, I would say the lights were indeed magical. I love city lights at night, they're so pretty.

This past week has seriously got away from me. You know I'm more busy when I have days off from work, I swear! But between lunch with friends, NYE party, spending time with Patrick, date night, gift exchange, dinners, shopping, family time, I think I did something every single day. But it was a good week, actually this year has started off really good, and I'm excited to see what it brings.

Yeah, if a video is well made, I can get into it even if I don't know the source material. And I'll come back and watch your video, just right now I'm watching an episode of Worst Cooks in America so I can't turn it on.

Lots of people can be fun because there are so many people to talk to, but at the same time it can get pretty overwhelming, plus when we're doing both my mom's side and my dad's side in one day, But I love it all the same.
