He's Back!!

Well, hes been a long time coming, we've all missed him dearly! It just wasnt the same without him, we kept arranging to meet him and he wasnt there! But don't fear he is back from his trip to Edinburgh! Yup Donald Dewar is back in Glasgow. check out http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5047117.html# for the full story!

I have now completed my Christmas Shopping! No more run ins with mad Christmas shoppers. I've spent the last few days socialising and cathing up with some friends! Tuesday i went up (or across to be more accurate!) to East Calder to stay at Cat's house and go to their youth groups Kangaroo Meal (progressive meal, grub crawl etc etc etc). It was great fun and i got to meet lots of people that i had heard of. Wednesday i slept late at Cat's house, and she didnt even wake me up! After lunch we did some uni work, there's always a downside to Christmas Holidays! and then i got the train back to Glasgow to meet Angela 'my partner in Crime and secret keeper'.

I now know the real feeling of being a student as Angela and i sat in The Counting House, counting our money and realising that we didn't have anywhere near enough! So it was a trips out to the Cash Machine for us! We went to see The Family Stone, it was such a good film! One minute you're in absolute hysterics and the next minute you're almost in tears coz its so sad, and then theres those cringe worthy moments where you don't even look at the screen!

Today was last minute shopping and then lunch with Beckie, (another trip from the restaurant to the bank machines!!) we had a good old natter and caught up on everything thats happened since she's been back in Edinburgh for uni! And then after that it was to Starbucks to meet up with Noel, and once again a good natter was had, and we sorted the world out... almost! And then (wow i've been busy!) some of the youth group people from my church were round for a 'Christmas gathering' where there was much hilarity and game playing.

During one of my many natters, i found out that im apparently using this blog all wrong! Im not meant to tell you what i've been up to, but just to talk about stuff, or moan about stuff! So... I'm going to tell you all about my Starbucks experience the past 2 days!
When i go to Starbucks (or Costa, or Beanscene, or Cafe Nero, or Tim Hortons (yay! Timmys!!)) i normally just get a vanilla latte. However as it is the christmas season i thought i'd try one of their Christmas blends! So yesterday i had a Gingerbread Latte, which really surprised me as it tasted exactly the same as gingerbread. Then today i had a Toffee Nut latte, i wasnt too sure about this one as i don't know what a toffee nut is, but it was actually alright! and i quite enjoyed both of them, however i dont think i'll be sad to go back to my normal Vanilla Lattes! Tomorrow i think i'll try the Egnog latte, don't know what egnog is but im up for trying anything!

Verse for the Blog:~ "But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people" Luke 2:10 the angel said this to the Shepherds when they were told about the Birth of Jesus. Did you know that it says 'Don't be afraid' 366 times on the Bible! That's one for every day of the year including leap years! what an awesome promise!
