The Eleventh Day of Christmas

This morning, I left the house at 9:30 to pick my sister up at the airport. After we did that, we headed home to drop off her bags, then we went straight to the mall. Then we went home to pick up our parents so that we could all go to the Christmas party together. It was a pretty good one. There was a team building exercise, which I thought was a great thing to do. It wasn't the type where you had to run everywhere, or go through this obstacle to get to this place. It wasn't an Amazing Race kind of thing. I mean those games are really fun, which is why they did it before this team building thing.

There were ten people in each group. They would then divide that group into two smaller ones. One with six people, which we called the "site" and the other with four which was called the "center". Those her were in the site would set up somewhere else, and wait for the instructions to be given by the center. Part of it was very logical, but a lot of it had to do with communication. In the end there were many observations that told us what the team had to work on. I found it pretty cool and helpful.

So when the party was over, my sister, my mom, and I went out for dinner. Then we went to Starbucks for dessert. I got a Green Tea latte again, which is what's keeping me awake right now. And I think it would have helped my sister while she was driving us home. So right now, I'm going to try to go to sleep, because surprisingly, I don't like waking up late on weekends. Waking up at 8 am is fine, but I'm a little bit hesitant about waking up at like nine or ten. I just feel like I could have done a lot during those hours. Besides, my parents wake up extremely early. Most of the time at five or six, and I really enjoy having breakfast with them while it's still cold outside, and the grass in the garden is slightly wet, and you can see the light of the sun slowly getting brighter. It reminds me of the when our house wasn't sandwiched between two other one's and we could still see the view not only through our front door.
