WTF Google?  No Easter-tastic home page? Odd.

Happy Easter everyone! :D

I'm a list person.  The holidays send my listing into overdrive.  It's how I keep myself sane and everything in order.  I update my "do to "list  for Christmas everyday.  Who I have left to shop for, what I have to buy them, what I have to make, mail, etc.

It makes me feel like I'm in control.  Like even if I'm not actively out shopping, I'm still ( Read more... )

Less than two weeks. 11 days.  I have NEVER been this behind with my Christmas shopping.  Most of that is due to my brothers not telling me what they want.  I've bought a few things and wrapped nothing.  I did start my baking though.  Cookies are love ( Read more... )

The most ridiculous of all Hallmark born holidays is tomorrow and for the first time in years I am not at all bitter about it.  I know the  reason is because I'm not forced to work in a sea of red, selling chocolate and teddy bears to clueless men.   I'm not having the holiday shoved down my throat so I can easily treat it like any other day.   Yet ( Read more... )

Today was my day off. I didn't do a whole lot.  Woke up, walked Tsar, made breakfast, straightened the apartment, watched some tv, went into the city for a bit (mostly to feel like I didn't just sit at home all day) ate dinner, walked and bathed Tsar and then bummed around online for the rest of the night.

While in the city I stopped by Penn ( Read more... )

With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the weather FINALLY feeling like it should I can't help but get really excited for the holidays! This is the first time in 6 years that I've not had a retail job.  That's right kids, this would have been my SEVENTH Christmas at Hallmark.  No working Christmas Eve for me this year! :D  Strange as it may ( Read more... )

The holiday season is winding to a close and I have that all too familiar feeling of having done nothing.  There are movies I want to watch, books I want to read, friends I want to see and places I want to go not to mention numerous gift cards I'd like to burn.  So far the only movie(s) I've gotten through have been the LotR: EE because it's ( Read more... )

Last night was amazing!  I can't believe that's what I've been missing the past 4 year.  Screw you Hallmark for making me miss caroling!

To catch everyone up, last night we went Christmas caroling.  We visited a nursing home, friends, family and former teachers.  It was seriously awesome.  Even with Brianna and me singing crappy soprano it was still ( Read more... )

Even though I've been fighting a cold all weekend, the Flyers are still sucking and I had a nasty work-related phone confrontation, I can't really complain because I'm feeling strangely rejuvenated ( Read more... )
