Things have been very busy and rather difficult lately, hence I have been neglecting updating my journal. 
Here is a rundown of the highlights and lowlights of the past couple of weeks.

i almost missed this entry
i completely feel you on so many levels
i dont even know how to respond properly because i have so many directions i could go on this
id like to invite you to american thanksgiving at my place
unsure of the exact date, but its in nov

apparently American thanksgiving is on November 23rd, which is a Thursday which means i don't work in the evening ..which means i'm totally in! i could make stuffing or potatoes or something. i'm really good at making salads but i'm sure that we could come up with food that i can prepare for the dinner when we get closer to the date :P

no worries about costco. i just remembered that i'm going to toronto in less than 2 weeks so a big food shop is not really that ideal until i come back. i will definitely have money upon my return (i get paid by the gym on my last day in toronto. hahha) so we can definitely do both. i have some small things i need from ikea too and i have not been able to make it there in soo long!

sounds like my changes in plans work out for the best for you as well!

im glad!

so about american thanksgiving, im going to try to pick up about 6 chairs from ikea, so i can have some spares and have people over (anytime i want) ..the chairs thing is holding me back! ..so you can bring a date, im gonna invite claire and her bf, and my friend shawna, and if she wants to bring a date. ha. im so lame!

you can bring whatever you want to bring, its not necessary tho. its far enough in advance that we dont have to stress on it.

payday upon returning from vacation is always the safest bet, otherwise id go crazy on vacation if i get paid during it!

i hope you have fun there and take lots of pics!

you should try to get folding chairs, maybe like http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15564&catalogId=10103&storeId=3&productId=47125&langId=-15&categoryId=15657&chosenPartNumber=30070402 in the white. that would look really nice in your place, they are cheap and functional and when you are only in need of 4 instead of 6 you can fold them up and put them in storage.

i've been saving my pennies for shopping in toronto. My parents also told me they are giving me my xmas money for an autumn wardrobe at h&m... you know that i'm going to take full advantage of that!!!

it is funny how i detested toronto but now i can't wait to go back and i'm going to take soooo many pictures! you know my post trip photo posts, they are huge!

ummmm, and i don't think it is likely that i'm going to be bringing a date. hahah
they are arranging the xmas party here and they told me the same. i'm like 'errrrm, yeah it will just be me'. hahha

yeah but date can be a friend
i just kinda thought if people brought someone, then it would widen the circle and we could all meet new people
but if its just you, then thats enough!
(really im just trying to get chris to meet new people, of the male variety, so basically im just selfish ;) )
