Basket Full Of Lilies

So this is what I've been doing all last night and today. And no, I am not folding this for my own enjoyment nor do I get kicks out of creasing paper. Flowers are made to be given of course. :)
I've been MIA for awhile because with Christmas around the corner, things are crazy and everything screams your attention.

And in between, I've been getting nightmares with my impending release of end-of-year exam results. This compounds with my tendency to catastrophise and you get not a very pretty mindset. I am happy to say that all's well and I can finally prepare properly for Christmas without the thoughts of doom plaguing the mind.

Anyhow, now that the house is relatively tidier and cleaner, I'm very excited about making my own agar cake on Saturday! All this, and STILL haven't had time to do the shopping! >.<

Why Christmas is my favourite holiday:
- summer nights.
- fairy lights.
- carols, they never get old.
- family coming together.
- people seem happier this time of year.
- sharing more of your life with friends and loved ones, whether it is a meal, or a party, or a conversation.
- celebrating the Joy of joys, from whom all good things come! :)

Now I'm just laughing at myself inside my own head because that was such a cheese-filled paragraph.

Anyway, in effort to salvage this post from the adolescent over-analysis, angsty "deep" genre, I shall go on a complaining rant.

So we were meant to head to the vineyard this week but alas, it never occured to us that you must book the tickets to get there in advance. And since none of our free days seem to match up for the rest of the week, it looks like a postponement (word?) till..
Who knows, I've never been any good at planning itineraries. Should seriously contemplate putting that down as a life skill to acquire.

Things to do:
- buy Christmas decorations, we are way behind schedule!
- find the summer cd
