want nomsssss
Only in Iowa could it go from 55 degrees and humid one day to having a blanket of snow dumped on it the next. It would be silly to complain about this weather, but I must say, I'm happy it was nice for as long as it was. I think this is the first actual snowfall of the winter - we had a light dusting in November or December, I think, but nothing since then. It wasn't even all that cold, and that's weird for Iowa. Yesterday was disgustingly cold, windy, and driving conditions around town were pretty bad but I managed :D The scariest part was getting back into my driveway after work because it's on a hill and there was a fair amount of snow at the end of it. (><) I was flooring the gas and damn, my car made me proud. <3 Will and I have switched off on who parks in the driveway and the street, but if it wasn't for the constant snow plows on the street I might volunteer to be back there. =X I guess I'll just see what it's like later.
I am so, so proud of Will. It's been over a week since he quit smoking and he told me last night that the smell of smoke repulses him now. His cravings have died down considerably and things are really good between us. He was practically chain-drinking orange juice for the first week to replace cigarettes, and now he's drinking it normally. (We love OJ here. XD) He's so determined about this that even though he had to work last night, he didn't take any of his ADD medicine. I don't know how he survived work, but not only did he survive, he did really well cooking on a certain station for the first time. I hope it can stay that way.
My own job prospects are same ol same ol~ I got a callback on a job in Ohio but I turned it down. It would be for an entry level position and they weren't willing to reimburse me for travel costs. On top of that, I had general uncertainty about going out there. It just didn't feel right, and I normally have good instincts for these things.
To completely change the subject (or maybe segue into WHY I need a good job), Bath & BodyWorks' semi-annual sale is happening and I bought a few sprays and lotions, including this Night Time Tea lotion I specifically went back to buy:
I love this stuff so much I bought two little bottles of bodywash/bubble bath in addition. Had there been bigger bottles I would have gone for those.
I'm also part of Victoria's Secret's Sexy Little Rewards program that they seem to be beta testing, and I've already reached their redemption limits twice - and I'm halfway there to a third time. =X You get more points when you use your Angel card, and they have two levels of rewards, Satin (1250pts) and Silk (1750pts). It sounds like a lot but it didn't take me long to get there at all. They can only be redeemed at participating stores though, and I was lucky enough that the mall I go to back near my mom's is part of it. In fact, tonight she called me because she was taking in my Silk card and wondered what I wanted...duffel bag!!!!
According to my mom, it's pretty nice. I don't know the specs of this at all so I'm excited it's not some dinky little tote bag. My Satin card's coming in the mail soon but I'm not sure what I'll get with that. I have enough fragrances but I guess I could always use more.
Will's hanging out with a friend tonight so I've got the place to myself and I'm not too sad about that. I've been using a lot of my spare time playing Pokemon White (>w<)! The deeper I get into it, the more I understand this Pokememe. I mean, there's a fucking ice cream cone in White. And yes, I love her. LOL~ There's also a set of gears? And a candlestick? It's pretty weird but I like them nonetheless. Soooo...time to play more!
