Well, 10 minutes to go until it is officially the year 2010 (can you belive it? It feels like it was just 2000 yesterday! ...I'm starting to feel so old now!) in Dawson Creek, BC! Soon everyone will be switching to their new calendars for 2010 (once they wake up from their hangovers!) and continuing on with their lives after this great holiday season. Hopefully everyone has got all their relaxing done, because there aren't any good holidays coming up for a while now! Well, at least not the kind where you get more than a day off of work!

To be honest, I'm very happy to see the end of 2009. This year seems as though it's more downs than ups, and the downs this year have been a lot worse than they've ever been before. So here's hoping that the year 2010 will be a much calmer and happier year, not only for myself, but for my friends and family as well!

HAPPY NEW YEARS everyone and I hope you all have an amazing year!

Quick Resolutions for 2010:

1. Get my GED!
2. Finish getting ID and healthcare!
3. See Nate! <3

Christmas at Dads

This Christmas, I spent a week at my dads and his girlfriends house out in Slave Lake, AB. I have been there a few times before, but only spent a day or so each time, and didn't get a chance to really get to know my dads girlfriend or her kids. I'm a shy person, so it takes me a while to really feel comfortable around new people, but I actually had a good time visiting there, even with people I didn't really know. Maybe it was because I had a few days to get used to the household before the majority of the kids showed up, or the fact that my younger brother was there too, but I felt pretty at ease most of the time.

I was really worried about going. I didn't want to feel left out, or like I was intruding on my dads other family's holiday. To be honest, the first few days before Christmas was the most fun. It was very relaxing, and despite being away from my computer and games, and all my stuff, I was rarely very bored. My dad and I watched some old Christmas videos that we used to watch when I was young, we went out with my brother and had a nice time shopping and just talking and catching up. And I actually had a fun time watchinga busy little 2 year old.

At my moms place we rarely eat meals together, and when we do, it doesn't quite feel the same as a big family meal all around a table. Of course, that could be due to the fact that we all work different hours, and that we don't have a kitchen table since our house is too small, so we use wooden dinner trays and sit at the couch. But it was nice to sit around a table with everyone talking, and laughing, and then all sitting around for a few minutes afterwards and just relaxing before cleaning up.

Origami...

...is hard!

The other day I found a little Origami kit in Coles for $12 and since I've always wanted to try origami, I bought it. It came with some paper, and a book with diagrams and instructions on how to make a bunch of animals and flowers. It has the figures grouped together with others that start out with the same steps, and starts out with some easy figures. But to be honest, it's a bit hard to figure out how certain things are supposed to fold to become a certain shape.

So far I've only made a Pigeon and Raven, and those are the easiest in the book. I think my real problem is understanding how to fold things certain ways, as the diagrams and instructions are a little bit confusing. I'll have to upload a picture later, as my album isn't letting me upload right now. Ah well!
