A Better Berlyn

Finally have half the cost of my new table/chairs saved up! Now awaiting delivery!!!!! Long time coming!



and 6 of these bad boys:


The pics don't do it justice. All I can think of is entertaining on it.

Also I am getting this for Christmas from my mommy! :) I haven't been able to justify spending money to buy this, but I have wanted one forever

I am excited.
Chris is going to come visit me after he finishes tour. 
He's gonna be in Toronto December 19th to the 24th when I drive us back to NJ.

We're going to watch the sun rise over Niagara Falls on Christmas Eve morning.

:)

I am super excited.
And I'll have my new camera so I can document it all.

Eeeee :)

Or, why thanksgiving at home is a bad idea:

So, it seems like I cannot possibly communicate with my parents.

I come back from law school and realize how much law school is a unique thing. It cannot be explained. That's why I hated my parents so much last wednesday when they were trying to tell me how to make things better and I need them to shut the fuck up and listen.

And now, this is the first break I have had. This is the first time I have had a chance to sit and not feel guilty. It is the first time since August that I have been able to play on facebook for hours and not feel guilty. LET ME DO IT. Shut the fuck up and don't send me articles and don't say "You have to see this part of Godfather II right now." I need to relax. I need to not have anyone telling me what I need to do.

MOST. DISPLEASED.

i have way too much shit to get done. i have to finish packing, do lots of laundry, figure out why paypal is fucking me over, clean the hell outof my place...

and i have a massive headache.

It is so hard being back at work after having the most romantic getaway....this past weekend we went to Seattle, stayed in the hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon and spent the weekend reminiscing, shopping, eating. I didn't want it to end.

I can't believe how fast 2 years goes by.

Life is good, I have had some good conversations and have come to some conclusions. In trying to hype up Chris to get back to school, I somehow hyped myself up and somehow talked myself into going back to school. I think that is just the dreaming part of me, the head in the clouds. I don't want to be broke. I already have education. I could be spending the time looking for something within our hospital that is more suited for me, than going back to school. I don't want to upgrade, I don't want to have no paycheque while I do school full time. I want Chris to get his schooling in though and that looks like it is going to start in January. Yay.

I want to learn things though, I haven't given up on learning. In the new year I am signing up for another sewing class..this time at a Pfaff stoer instead of a silly school board class. I don't want to feel like I am in high school again, I just want to learn how to use my machine. I also am signing up for a 4 lesson instruction at Grouse Mountain to learn snowboarding. I recently have prepared myself by getting all the essential gear I might need and I am finally ready to stop saying I am going to do it, and just do it.

Some other things: I have managed to score a part time seasonal job at a store I thoroughly enjoy and start tonight. It should be easy. I spend way too much during the holidays and am finally buying my dream dining set this week so I really need an influx of extra cash. I just need to stay away from buying things there. The perk is 40% off and I want it all! If I do well at saving, I might reward myself at the end of the season with that flashy mandoline I have always wanted from there.
