I bought a few Christmas gifts a couple of days ago. I got an ice wine vodka in a pretty bottle for one of our good friends. Costco is selling a 3-pack of Starbucks mugs filled with chocolates, so I picked up a pack, thinking it would be perfect for a bunch of L's favourite teachers/mentors. Costco sells all kinds of great gifts, I saw spa certificates, movie certificates, restaurant certificates. Something for everyone, really.
K told me he wants the 2010 Wrestling Video Game for I forget which gaming system, so that will be easy. My mother-in-law seems to like wild animal figurines, so last month or so I got her this bird that stands on its skinny legs and for some reason L says it scares her. Well, hopefully my mother-in-law won't think the same thing!
L is about to get even busier as rehearsals are starting up for the school Drama production, and she got a big part with lots of lines. She is also starting to do her university applications. She told us she will be out of town on a school field trip on her 18th birthday (next April). It's sad to think she's turning into an adult really fast. Where does the time go?

8 Perfect Stay-Young Foods -
'If it’s dessert you want, go with regular yogurt; but if it’s protein, go Greek. What sets the two apart? Greek yogurt is separated from the watery whey that sits on top of regular yogurt, and the process removes excessive sugars, such as lactose, and increases the concentration of protein by as much as three times. That means it fills your belly more like a meal than a snack. Plus a single cup has about a quarter of your day’s calcium, and studies show that dieters on calcium-rich diets have an easier time losing body fat.'
