It's 3:30am right now, but I'm feeling quite bloggy so I will share with you some of today's adventures.

Lumberjacks

For weeks my roommates and I had planned to throw a Christmas party at our apartment this weekend. When we all woke up early this morning (around noon), we realized that while we had already "decked the halls" of our apartment with Christmas lights and garland, we were lacking a Christmas tree!

In order to remedy this problem, Dave "Frugal" Perkins suggested we chop down a tree in Weber's backyard. Always eager for any excuse to wield sharp metal tools, the roommates and I put on our lumberjack shirts (literally) and drove to Woodway.

We found some choice tools in Weber's garage and then combed the forest in search of a perfect little tree to bring Christmas cheer to our apartment! We ended up hacking down about 5 or 6 before settling on a lovely 7-foot cedar!

Hot Jelly

The party was a success as well, especially considering the men dominated the women at Battle of the Sexes for the first time ever! However, it is somewhat hard to revel in a victory that was won based on our knowledge of cosmetics and cooking.

We also had a ton of great food, including one of my favorite party dishes: wheat thins with cream cheese and spicy pepper jelly! Yummy yum yum!

P.S. I will be posting pictures of the engagement soon, so stay tuned!
