Christmas, and "The Game Changer"

Hey everyone
Just me. Such a blogging slacker, let me tell you. That's annoying. Sorry. 
(haha I say sorry like anyone cares LOL!)
A lot has gone on since August, but I won't bore you with it all. Work is still work. We're both persevering through it with open eyes all around but it's not the most fun process. 
ANYway.
We're getting ready for Christmas at our house. The tree is up, all the lights are up on the outside of the house thanks to Chris - they look awesome, and the decorations are up inside. Christmas shopping is still very sadly lacking - I'm hoping to do some on Thursday, Friday and possibly Sunday. We're headed up to my Dad's on Saturday for Christmas with him, that will be great. He's so looking forward to it too, he's called the past three nights to make sure we were still coming haha. The only thing he asked for (he's so hard to buy for) was a picture of Melee in a Christmas dress with Winston (the bulldog). We tried tonight...and it was a failure haha. At first she wouldn't get rid of the soother, or the blanket, and then the second try she was grumpy and either Winston or her weren't looking. So funny.  Here's an attempt.

 Frig she's so funny. I hope we can get a good picture tomorrow night when we try, I'd like to get it printed at Walmart in Ptbo so I don't have to pay Black's prices in Lindsay. I think they're the only place that does it around here. Still have to take Em to see Santa as well, maybe we will go on Sunday. Those of you with kids - have you taken your little one(s) to see Santa yet?

On an unrelated note I wanted to also post because I was able to finish a book on the weekend, an ebook that I bought on Kobo. It's called "The Game Changer" by Marie Landry. She's a new upcoming writer, and this was her third book, and it's classed as women's fiction, because it has female lead character (I assume). The first one was called "Blue Sky Days" - a young adult novel, and "Undressed" a collection of 4 erotic stories. I've bought them all, and I liked them all, they were all well-written, however I LOVED "The Game Changer". It takes a lot for me to really love a book anymore, being that my favourite novels are written by some of the best writers on the planet, but I sincerely loved this one. My heart broke at the right places and I laughed and I honestly shed tears at least twice. I tried to review it on Amazon.com but I couldn't without purchasing the book - and I already have it through Kobo! grr. I still plan on going on GoodReads to write about it as well. If you guys have $3.09 and an ereader, buy it. It's worth it. Doooo it! :)
