(i did not mean to make that rhyme but i guess when you are a genius you are a genius)

tonight is the annual ‘Make Love To My Balls’ Christmas Party at Casa Ciavarro…the party grows every year…theres going to be lots of food and lots of booze and lots of people in a tiny space and im pretty sure that the lady below us that already hates us is just going to hate us that much more…

luckily…for some reason…everyone in the building fears Chad…because the building is full of old people…chicks…and non alpha males…therefore with out even trying Chad rules all…



these pictures were taken before christmas exploded everywhere…

if you notice in the picture above not only has Chad lit a fire in the fireplace but he is also WATCHING a fireplace on TV…because you know…one fire just doesnt quite do it…

he is a nut job…

tonight i am making a sundried tomato and garlic dip that is full of cream cheese and goodness…im drooling just thinking about it…there are tomatoes and chives in there so it will be all green and red and christmasy…

im also making chesse and basil tortilla things that you bake in the oven…also super yum…

alicia is going to bring a 7 layer dip (my fav.) and christmas cookies!!!

food gets me VERY excited if you didnt notice…

i will take pictures…

TACO EXPLOSION

the fire will be lit and there will be lots of candles and tiny lights…it will be magical i tell you!

i have an apple strudel sitting on my desk waiting for me to eat it…its pretty much bagging me at this point…OK FINE…i will eat you…

today i have to go to all the factories and steal back all of our labels and then work my butt off in the warehouse finishing off the couting of all the fabric…and then even tho i was late this morning i am going to try and leave early…since i need to go buy basil now…

i also have a bottle of apple flavoured sour puss under my desk…hello apple martinis!

on a side note…my new favorite word is ‘GENIUS!’
said just like that…

****

OH PS.

i forgot to say that i was going to be lazy and not send out Christmas cards this year but then my mom gave me all her leftovers and so i figured since they were free i would send them out…so if you want one…which i know you all do…email me…smellydanielly@gmail.com…ok good…

first thing sunday morning…






i want to cuddle in these blankets right now…





sunday was a blizzard
at about 6pm it started to rain
but i went to bed and it still looked like this outside my window
i woke up at 2 with the sound of wind destroying everything
plus it was raining like a mother
i woke up at 7 and looked out my window
and all the snow was gone
nearly a foot and a half just gone
like it had never snowed the day before
it was the most bizarre thing ever…

chad came home from calgary last night
his flight was over an hour late
i was suppose to get off work early to go pick him up but i ended up working late
to make up the time
so i wouldn’t have to wait so long in the airport
i think during the course of our relationship i have been to the airport a million times…
toronto – 3 times
calgary – at least 5 times…i dunno ive lost count
sweden – 1 time
korea – 1 time
i’ve probably been there 10 times this past year

anyways my stomach was all gross yesterday so i took my time getting to the airport
then since the flight was delayed again and i had 45 minutes to kill i walked over to the international terminal
i knew they had a flying wedge pizza place over there
and i was craving flying wedge
so i sat there by myself
i had eaten about half the slice and then wanted to puke
i probably looked like the most depressing thing ever
i was having cold sweats
it was gross

i sat there for 20 minutes and then decided to walk back
it takes a while to get back to the domestic flights
they were re doing the floors
and all the seats were taken because almost all the flights were delayed
so i stood and watched the clock tick
im so tired of going to the airport

anyways he finally came out
and we drove home in the rain
and we were so tired i just wanted to sleep

chad smelled like smoke because of the smokers he was around
so everytime i went to give him a kiss my nose got me confused
cause he didnt smell like ‘Chad’
he smelled like smoke and cologne
it was like i was cheating on him

im glad hes home
hopefully we will be productive tonight
there is a lot to do before friday

i am now currently exhausted

so i have gotten back into the grove of picture explosions and taking a picture of everything every time i go some where…it feels good to be back to that…

ive tried to post these pictures all day but it kept not working and so FINALLY here they are in all their glory…

i must warn you tho that i just drank an entire frappuccino even tho its -a million outside and now my stomach hurts and i am HIGHLY hyper and way too excited about things that havent come yet…

anyways…it snowed like a mother the past two days…this gets vancouver both excited and extremely dangerous…

9 30ish in the morning…those thongs are pretty much ruined at this point…



this picture makes me want to jump on the couch and cuddle with the pillows for hours


i wasnt allowed to drive my car…and for good reasons too…for i am a women and it was snowing after all…


IKEAAAAAAA the source of my gold and red christmas theme…



having trouble dear???


and now to purchase the much hated FAKE christmas tree because strata does not want us to have a merry christmas…

i swear…every time…hes gotta make his ‘suave face’…as if i havent fallen for you already!!!

“Christopher…what the fuuuckkk…”

being that mr. ciavarro is highly sensitive to the fact that he can not have a real christmas tree he proclaimed that the fake one better look like the picture on the box when its all said and done…he yea right!

this wreath excited me greatly…

decorations…

snow snow snow

and here he goes…


and here i wait…


RED AND GOLD!!! the breakfast of champions…

almost done the tree…ha…the leaning star of ciavarro…

figuring out the stocking situation…

more snow…


so we had to leave half way through the decorating to take someone to guess where!?!?!? THE AIRPORT…shocking i know…so the apartment is currently a christmas disaster and not even finished…i havent been back since b.c. there is too much snow on the roads to drive and i barely made it to my house last night…



i was not too keen on having to drive myself from richmond to north burnaby…it was a little sketchy…

alas…as you can tell i did not die…so thats positive…

woke up this morning to another huge dumping…it was quite magical really…

i spent some time making chad and i new stockings to hang on the fire place…they are so cute you will die when you see them…i am getting SO EXCITED about christmas this year i dont know why…im never this in love with christmas…

our work christmas party got canceled…which is good cause i really did not have to trek out in this weather to a house that takes me an hour to get to in good weather…plus my car sucks mucho in snow so i probably wouldnt even have been able to go otherwise…it just sucks for my boss and the millions of pounds of food she bought and prepared for today…

now i have a slight caffeine induced head ache but i can smell roast in the oven so i am drooling as well…

i have so many more pictures to show you!!!
