Long enough wait?
Whew, December already and let me just say, it is FREEZING out! I finally turned on the heat (to 65 degrees) last night, just to keep myself from freezing alive. Granted, not too much of a danger with Eva around :-)
So, what's new? I went to MA over Thanksgiving and stayed with the Sullivans! They moved back to their old home from elementary school on Pebblepath... I didn't ask fiscal details but it seems like they lost their house. Pretty distressing, I would think... but they kept their cheer and the holiday was great! On Wednesday when I arrived I went to Dan's house for a surprise graduation party, including old faces like Josh Robinson, Matt Susko, Ryan Gattoni, and Matt Shea! We had a ton of fun catching up and chatting about everything... after we went out to Boosters, a bar in Sandwich (I would have preferred Taverna, as other old alumni were said to be there), but it was really fun overall. The rest of the weekend passed similarly, with parties and general fun with the guys. I miss my old SHS friends! Granted, Joey, Nate, Rob, Brian and Jeff are all still living in Sandwich at 23-25 years old... but their camaraderie made me a little home sick. Still, by the end of the weekend I was ready to head home!
Other than that, life has been pretty normal. I'm trying to work out again, as well as reduce my calories... but both are tough. I made a pact with Eva, but she's already sneaking snacks, so... we'll see how it goes. I plan on getting up early tomorrow to work out, but honestly the better idea is working out after work. It's tough either way - either I'm super tired in the morning or super tired after work. Le sigh. The holidays are coming up though, so I am excited for that! I get some free time, at long last! I think I'll make a list of what to accomplish, hmmmm...
But in real life goals, I have others things to do. I need to get gifts for my family and Eva, I need to sell my old car (did I mention I bought a new car? Well, a new used car... anyway, selling my Hyundai), I need to buy new shoes and clothing and ties... so much to do! Being older and responsible bites.
But not everything is being mature :-) My ZAM job is going swimmingly - my fourth article is about to come out, which is an actual REVIEW instead of most of the BS Q&As I've been doing. This one was for Pirates of the Burning Sea, which turned out to be a ton of fun. Well, a bit of fun. Not boring like Aion (which I need to resubscribe to in order to get a tour and complete a second article). And my next piece is an editorial... on World of Warcraft! Perfect chance to try out the new expansion, which looks AMAZING. I am such a nerd at heart :-P
Speaking of being a nerd, "Tangled" from Disney is AMAZING and I highly recommend it! Eva and I went to see it last Saturday and I loved every minute of it.
Ok, that's all for now, time to game for a bit in order to complete my articles. Ciao!

PS: My Christmas list:
1. Oblivion (gotten by Eva!)
2. A Slap-Chop
3. A new pizza-sandwich maker
4. New bed linens
5. A new pair of sneakers
6. A new pair of shoes for work
7. A new pair (or two!) of khaki pants for work.
My Christmas list is mature o_O It worries me :-P
