Hundionu jõulud

The 24th: Hundionu spent most of the day napping. With the kitty. She did go to Loblaws to get some sauerkraut and ice-cream though. And She opened a few presents. Now She can show off with the wonderful yellow pashmina scarf:) So watch out. And her Christmas tree is richer by an angel.
At 5 She started walking to meet Eve and Co at the park near Kent St. Eve's ex-neighbours organized this outdoors Christmas mass with singing and candles and hot cider/chocolate. It was really, really nice. Despite it was raining... And Jakov was ready to go home:) They stayed for a little. It was very neat (see the pics). Great idea, Shethinks.

And then they picked up Tädi Veera (aunt Veera) and went home. Well, to Eve's/Jakov's/Samuel's home. And the wonderful evening continued:) They had some hot gloggi and then they had a shot of vodka with beautiful "sakuskas". And then the wine. And the supertasty meal. And the cheese (see the pic). And the Santa had been by, so there were presents. She got a signed CD by Cat Jahnke and an amazing sparkly pair of earrings:) Oh, She SO loves jewellery! The next day She was sitting at the computer, and the sun was shining at the earrings, and the entire room was full of dancing sun-spots. So, so pretty! And there was more. Enough for everyone. Samuel got the most, starting with the Narnia castle and finishing with Indiana Jones game. He was one very happy dude.
By 11 She was at home. It had been one wonderful Christmas Eve.

25th: She slept in. And then She decided to make the Christmas cards, as the cards being undone and unsent kept weighing down Her mind. There used to be a day, where She made 40 cards and hand-delivered them all. And now... So She made the cards. And the Corel Paint (?) program is quite amazing. And She sent them to people.
And then She went for dinner. Not an ordinary dinner, because that's not Her style. She had met Martin a few weeks ago. They had agreed to go for a movie or sth, but hadn't had time yet. So He invited Her for Christmas dinner with His friends. And She didn't know how to say no. And why not - She needs to get out of the house. They went to the Friday's Steak House. The food (prime rib) was delicious! And the company was great (Martins golf friend with his wife, sister and Mum)! Lots of joking and laughing. Good times!
After the dinner they went for movies. Random choice - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Just first day of screening. And it was great!
*****
The movie has Brad Pitt in it. And it has a very interesting story. And has quite a few sad moments in it. Most importantly it's a story about love and life. And how at some moments in life you gotta take bad decisions. And it's also about trying and accomplishing. So I recommend it.
Also I saw Will and Am at the theatre. Will was on our floor until September and then got in to med school. We used to have amazing conversations regarding life, career etc. We were both doing the lets talk science too. And now, just after this 10 min chat, I feel inspired again. It's so easy to get weighed down by this crazy thesis business. But I gotta keep dreaming. And aiming high. It's time to blow the dust off these dreams and get them rolling.

And now it's nap time. Tomorrow there's lunch at Supervisors house. But since there's no buses, I may need to walk (1.5 hours), unless I can figure something else out. Nevertheless, I need a good sleep!
