Friday December 21st, a day I will not soon forget! Besides the fact that it was 12/21/12, the end of days according to the Mayans, my Friday was quite possibly the best day I had in years! After spending a small fortune on everyone else's Christmas presents, I was able to buy a little something for me as well! I woke up early morning to join my fellow shoe lovers online by 7am trying to score a pair of the Jordan XI "breds" and actually succeeded! My first attempts proved futile. However after changing retailers, and web browser, I was able to make it through checkout and purchase my very own pair! I even purchased the matching booties (socks).

After my early morning shopping rush, I headed into the office and was surprised to learn that it would be a short day, and that we were all being treated to lunch! The work day was filled with all sorts of holiday spirit. We had a gift exchange, decorated a small office tree, and even got some home made holiday cookies from our boss! Our usual office meeting was cut short to just a few minutes and then before we knew it we were off to lunch, and then home!

Friday night I attended a local end of the world party at the Houston Museum of Natural Science with some friends, saw some traditional Mayan dancing and drum beating with Dinosaur fossils as a backdrop, shared some wine with some close friends as we all survive the apocalypse and headed home from a long day of fun! I thought surely my night can't get any better!

But just as I put down my guard, I entered my room to find an envelope on my desk! My Holiday Greeting Card had arrived!

I quickly opened my prize and was amazed to find my Canadian Hockey themed Christmas Card! As I opened the card I heard the sweet sweet sound of Tom Connors and he sung me to sleep with his Hockey Song!

Thank you PHILOSOPHER7 for a wonderful end to a great day!
