I can't believe it's December already. Actually, I can believe it's December: it's been really cold. Still, Christmas is now officially Around The Corner. And guess what? I haven't written my Christmas cards yet! But... I have done most of my shopping! On Saturday the Globe had an article about online Christmas shopping, and so motivated, I fired up the PC and got rid of a good chunk of my Christmas list. Best yet, it's being shipped direct to England so I don't even have to carry it across the Atlantic!

Saturday night the Usual Suspects were round at Joyce's for her ab fab chicken/lemongrass/yummy soup and flavourful chicken curry. Yum!

Sunday we did the church thing and then invaded France. Followed by a trip up to Baldwyn Street for italian food.

The second of my three big client workshops was yesterday, so despite the fun stuff we did on the weekend I was pretty stressed on Monday. Well, not too stressed as I was pretty well prepared, but still... Anyway, the workshop went very well, so I'm quite relieved.

Last night was busy, too. First I met Anne at Kelly's surprise baby shower, which followed the Exultate Christmas Concert dress rehearsal. It was held at Bar Mercurio on Bloor, normally a very nice place, though last night I wasn't too impressed with the waiter telling me that he'd forgotten to place my dinner order ten minutes after he'd previously said he'd bring it out. I was on a deadline, as I had a ticket to the Accenture box at the ACC for the Leafs-Lighting game last night. I made it down about halfway through the second period, which is about the time that the Leafs, trailing 2-0, started playing hockey. They eventually won a very exciting 4-3 game in overtime.
