Christmas

Christmas is over :s
I must admit that this was not my best Christmas :s Had better once and not sure if there was not
any worse...
But let's go step by step.
Thursday 21st December Miha and I went for a lunch to our friends Daniela and her bf. We had
really lovely time; ate Mexican food and had a good laugh. We left there rather early, but I had
to go to work on Friday and since my last days were not full of sleep....
Actually to be honest, for past 5 days I had late nights and never went to bed before 2am :s
Time around Christmas is lots of fun meeting all friends, going to city etc., but after few days it
gets tiring. :s
However, on Friday we went out with Helen. We exchanged the presents (got on Mini DV cassete for my camera and candles:)) and than went for a coctail :) It was REALLY hard to find the place in city :s It was all full; in every bar we came there was so crowded that at some places we even couldn't open the door ?
We finally found the place and stayed there till midnight. I had "Tropical dream" coctail :) It was
really sweet; tasty :) After coctails we went for a walk around the city and than home.
On Saturday I slept till 9.30am and than had quiet morning. In the afternoon my cousing came
and stayed at my place till 9pm. I got some kitchen stuff from them and 48 all kinds of smelly
(good smelling) candles :D
The same evening we had an appointment at friends house. It was lovely time there, though
they had soooooooo cold in their apartment that we all stayed dressed in coats :s We stayed till
1.30am and I can say that I was happy when we left. Not that wasn't nice, it was, but I was so
cold and sleepy...felt really good to lie in bed :)

Sunday...Christmas Eve. The day started well and lovely. Had another late morning and did
the laundry than at noon I went to Miha's place.
We ate a little and talked and around 4pm we opened the presents. I got many nice things at their place. I got wallet for Slovene Euros and 25 Slovene Euro coins from his aunt, chocolate with chili :) from his cousin and his gf and two mugs from his mum :) I loved each present I got. :) We had lovely afternoon.
Than we had to "rush" to my place where we had dinner, but thankfully my mum didn't do much, coz' we were already full from the lunch.
After our dinner we opened our presents. I got some really nice underwear from my paretns and a camera bag from them as well. They were also happy about the presents we gave them, though were nothing special.
After a while Miha and I went downstairs were I had another present for him - as I might told you I bought him a car radio that plays MP3. The one we're having now in the car plays only CDs and even those one very badly, sometimes doesn't even want to take the CD in. :s
When he opened the present he didn't say anything. I was a bit confused, coz' I really did imagine him to be happy with smile on his face, but he wasn't. He only told me thank you and than checked it out. :s I was sad and a little dissapointed the way he reacted.
He didn't say anything for 15 or so minutes and than he asked me IF I WANTED TO BUY HIM?????????? Can you imagine what a schock that was for me!!!! I couldn't believe my ears what he asked!!! I never imagine that's going to be his reaction.
In the same second the tears came from my eyes and I couldn't say anything. Than he said if he did the wrong thing that he asked me what he has. I only told him that I am very dissapointed the way he reacted, coz' NOT for a second I though to buy him with the presents!!!!!!!
I bought him the radio, coz' I know he wanted and since I can affored him I did it - I know that presents can't buy the true and long lasting love.
We sat there for a while and not said much to each other...and after sometimes I drove him home and that was it.
He later called me and told me what an ass he was and that he said that in state of schock and was not 100% there with words. He did apologize and told me he reaslied I really didn't meant to buy him and that I bought the things coz' I knew he wanted that!!!!! He also said that he realised that he should not watch so on the money as he does and should focus better on things I'd like to have.
BTW: got from him another Anne Geddes puzzles and cable which will connect the DVD camera and my computer. :) Also very sweet, but I got the idea that he buys the presents coz he has to and now with his heart. Not to tell you how un-original he is. Like he would not know me...each year or each birthday I got the same presents; either it's photo frame or puzzles. :s I'm not saying that I don't like it; I do, I just wish that he would use a bit more imagination!!!!!
He even asked me what I would need and I told him I would like to have new PJ or underwear, even told him the number and colour I would prefer when he asked me about it and somehow I was really looking forward to get new PJ or underwear, coz' I really need it, but NO. I don't know than why I told him what I wish....
Anyway, the day ended a bit sad, though he did apologize....
I never though that's going to look my Christmas Eve - EVER!!!!

Yesterday I was home alone. Miha went to airport and stayed there till 5pm and came around 5.30 for dinner to my place. I spent the day replaying mails...I had it tonz and I managed to reply to most of them - one or two are still left, perhaps for today or tomorrow.
As soon as Miha ate the dinner we went to visit my grandparents. We stayed there for an hour and than went home. Saw 3 shows of Friends and than went to bed.
Yesterday I also managed to have a short conversation with my Mexican friend :D
It was lovely chat, no matter I woke her up (UPS :s) and no matter that chat was really short; we spoke for about 3 minutes; I wish to talk with her longer, but that's really expensive :( I just though it would be a nice surprise for her to wish her Merry Christmas over the phone!

Today...is our Independence Day - 15th year of being apart from Yugoslavia and 15 years since we had our own curency TOLAR. From 1st January on, we'll have Euro for our curency...I'm looking forward, though will miss our curency...
Tomorrow will sadly have to go back to work :( Am not looking forward; I think I'm going to be alone (no surprise here) and I know I'm going to have LOTS of work...but than I need only survive the Thursday and than am on holidays and will go back to work on 8th January :)

Miha and I are leaving on holidays on 28th in the evening and will come back to Ljubljana on 4th January...
I am looking forward to go away, but I'm sad knowing that in 3 days in the morning I would sit on the plane to Mexico, but I won't. Sometimes I think life is really unfair?? What have I done to deserve this???

I hope you all had lovely Christmas and I hope you got really nice presents :)

Honey, I am really sorry for his reactions, and I really dunno how can one think so much on money... like only this thingwould exist... and like you would really need to buy his love...
I wish the end of the year would be better for you. Love, hugs and all
