Goodbye 2008, Hello 09!
December 31st

100_2861.JPGChristmas was fairly good this year. I spent Christmas eve at the bf’s house because he wanted me to and my parents didn’t mind at all (nor did I). So in the morning he opened his gifts from his parents and then we both headed out to my parents place to open my gifts and have Christmas dinner. I didn’t expect anything for Christmas because my parents gave me more than enough this fall (trip to Europe!) but mom still had a few gifts for me (pj set, stocking, socks, house coat etc.) and a card. I opened the card and was sooo surprised when I seen $200 in cash. Mom said it was for my cell phone bill & LSAT fee. Although, I’m rethinking the whole LSAT (Law admissions exam) exam in February. I haven’t studied yet and I need at least two months. So I think it’s best if I did it in the summer. — Anyway, the gift exchange was followed by a lovely turkey dinner (I invited my friend too, he’s not from here so he didn’t have anyone to spend xmas with) and then more gift exchange at Shane’s grandparents house, mine nan’s house etc etc. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I know I sure did! And you can see more photos in my flickr :)

Haha, dad and I made a bet last night. If he loses more weight than me by March 15TH, I have to give him $200. If I lose more weight, he has to give me double: $400. And, if I get six A’s in my courses this semester (a little goal I’m setting for myself), he’s giving me $50 per A. Haha, I really hope I achieve these goals! It will be good for me and in more than one way :glad: So i’m going to try and exercise more. Today I burned 500 cals on the treadmill and worked on my arms with the weights (60x). I reaaaally want to tone my arms so badly! I hate fabby arms :( Hehe, if I do achieve my goals and get the money from dad, I’ll probably buy a new flat screen tv for my bedroom (just a small one though!). The tv I have now is so old and bulky! I’ll probably keep an eye out for nice bed frames too since I want a double or queen bed soon! Hah, what can I say? Money motivates me! Tsk tsk Leanne :P

Well, I better get going and grab a shower. I don’t really have any plans tonight (i’m sad about this!) but I wish you all of the best for the New Year! Have a wonderful & safe night guys! XO.
