My last two papers for the semester were just submitted, and a weight was lifted. I can now spend every waking moment relishing in the joy of the Christmas season.
On Friday I spent the day and evening with co-workers. I ate a toasted tomato sandwich before going to work for a day of meetings and professional development. We went to Boston Pizza for lunch, where I enjoyed a perogy stromboli and spinach salad. After work I had a martini with some work friends.
Friday evening was my staff Christmas party. We went to a restaurant called Beer Brothers, where all the dishes are made with beer. I had a cup of curried, pulled pork soup and about 1/2 of a poutine with stout gravy.
A friend got the sliders - they are so cute!
I did my own hair for the party (I am terrible at doing hair), and it actually turned out alright :-)

I didn't get any pictures of my eats this weekend, but I had leftover tofu, veggie stir-fry for breakfast on Saturday, sukiyaki beef with rice for lunch, and French onion soup with 2 slices of pizza for dinner. My dad took me for lunch today to a make-your-own stir-fry place where I made a giant veggie, loaded stir-fry. We spent the day shopping together, and then I went to my in-laws for a stew supper. I had a Nanimo square and a grapefruit for dessert.
This week I plan on decorating for Christmas, baking loads of goodies, and getting ready for our annual Christmas party on Saturday. Ahhhh, it feels so good to be done the semester early!
I am participating in the Canadian blogger Christmas Secret Santa, and a Secret Santa exchange at work, so I need to figure out what to get for those.
How was your weekend? What did you do?
Do you do any Secret Santa exchanges?

Congrats on finishing your semester! I will be done by the end of this week, so I am excited. Unfortunately, I have to have a talk with my advisor, which I have been putting off. But it will happen this week!
This weekend, I cooked, baked, and made fantastic christmas decorations.
I am doing a blog gift exchange, but I don't think I am doing any "real life" secret santas this year. I have done them tho. In Texas, they call them White Elephants. Weird, right?
