Becky’s Nook

How was everyone’s christmas? Ours was great! We went out to Granny’s (Den’s granny) and visited there for 5 days. The boys got totally spoiled with a whole bunch of toys and clothes. But that’s the usual, especially with Den’s family, since they’re the only great grandkids for Granny so far. Dennis totally spoiled me. He brought out this HUGE box. And it was heavy, and rattled, and i had no idea what was in it. So I, with the help of Robbie, opened it up. Plain white box. That doesn’t help me out. So i opened up the 8 miles of tape Den used to seal the box. On top was two of my couch cushions…..um, ok. I have a naked couch at home. Our bbq utensil set was in there. Hmmmm, that would be the rattle…..A couple phone books, a case of cd’s. OK, so where’s the present? In a little La Senza Bag. The bastard had me totally fooled! In the bag, there were a handful of gift cards. La Senza, 100 bucks. YAY I can buy more than 1 bra! Reitman’s….200 bucks. YAY! I can buy a lot of clothes for 200 bucks! Specially since it’s their end of season sale and it’s up to 70% off! And at the very bottom was the best gift ever! A day at the Life Spa, here in Calgary!!!!! I get to go for a whole day of complete pampering! I’m sooooo excited!

Den made out pretty good too, he got his Rock Band game in November. But he also got Lego Star Wars, the Complete Saga (with the guide) and tickets to one of his favorite bands of all time Blue Rodeo! (thanks Mom and Geo!)

Anyways, hope everyone has a happy new year! Talk to you soon!

My eye surgery went well. The double vision is GONE!! YAY! All i need to do is wear reading glasses at the computer and for reading. I can handle that. So today, i went looking for some glasses. Every pair i tried on “oh my gosh, i look like grandma!” and it’s true. I look like a young granny. I wish i had a scanner so i could scan some pictures from when she was my age. We could pass for twins i bet! Anyways, here’s the new  me. LOOK AT THAT THICK HEAD OF HAIR!!!!

I go in for my cataract surgery tomorrow. It’s only on the right eye, and should only take an hour. But i’m off work for 4 weeks. And then on moderated duty for another 2 weeks after that. I’m nervous as to what to expect, i mean, it’s my eyeball after all. Also, i’m a worrier, so i run all sorts of scenarios in my head, usually the worst possible ones. Anyways, i’ll post later in the week, once i’ve healed up a bit. Just wanted to let you know i haven’t fallen off the face of the earth…..yet.

So, for the Beavers/Scouts christmas party, we went to Lloyd’s Recreation and went rollerskating! I was worried that the boys would get all frustrated right off the start, and not want to do it, but they had a blast! They fell, got up, fell, got up, fell, got up and by the end of the night, were covered in bruises, but had the best time ever and had gotten remarkably better at skating! Robbie really took to it, Clay I think over thought things too much, but he loved it too! Even Mom and Dad got on skates! Here’s some pics!

even santa came to skate!
