love actually is all around.

(i can't get into the Christmas mood, without first watching 'love actually' with my roommates from university. the tradition stemmed from procrastinating from exams, decorating our university house, and eating crappy/amazing food. now, i can't feel Christmas-y without it. this week, we got together, and watched it... finally. much needed time with my makeshift family)

this weekend will be spent with many many people i love - tonight, with some church friends, including the parents of my little dumplings; saturday with the amazing women who i donned with in fourth year university; and sunday, first at the raptor's game (against the celtics - my. favourite.) and then to mexican madness with work friends....
hope everyone has a great, filled weekend... and that everyone remembers to take some time for themselves as well - which is hard this time of year!
holiday parties anyone?
