Hi, all! I promise, I’m still alive post-Thanksgiving. It’s been a little rough, but I’ll catch you guys up.
Thanksgiving itself was okay. Thanks to those of you who texted/tweeted me luck! Everything happened with only minor catastrophes (aka my mom asking, “HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE A SAUCE PAN?!?!” Well, I’m sorry, Mom. You didn’t put that on the list of things to get.) and the family came and went with relative ease. Luckily, my mom did most of the food prep, so for all the worrying and cleaning I did (seriously scrubbing down my apartment), everything seemed to work out.
I successfully DIDN’T stuff myself for the first time in history, but that also led me to STARVING an hour and a half post-dinner. So, my boyfriend and I chowed down on some leftover mashed potatoes — it really hit the spot.
The next day I was back at work while my roommates got to lounge around the house. I never thought it would be so painful to go into work the day after Thanksgiving, but it was awful. I don’t see how people in actual retail jobs do it.
Then the past week of my life has been consumed with my job’s Open House, of which I was mostly in charge. I am ridiculously glad it is over; it was the longest day of my life — working twelve hours straight and then having to go out to dinner with my boss/coworkers. I really need to quit this job. Really.
Then I came to my parents’ house this weekend in the middle of a snow storm, which is kind of an oxymoron in North Carolina, but hey. It happened. And I’m trying to catch up on everything I’ve missed while my head’s been wrapped around this stupid Open House. Now that that’s over, I am going to start the look for a full time job because this six days a week thing is not going to fly for much longer.
I hope you all are doing well and having fun gearing up for the holidays! I’m thinking about asking for a Nook for Christmas. Thoughts?
I want a nook badly, sadly I don’t have enough money to get one. But I recommend one! Also, what’s your twitter, I feel we should be following each other? I need to stalk you on lj better. ;)
I reeeeally want a Nook, but I don’t read that much! I mean, I would if I could, but I’m in a little bit of a time crunch now where all my free time is taken up by sleeping. Lame. But I waaaant it! So we’ll see what I decide.
How are we not twitter buddies? I’m keylessmap, let’s follow each other! And you don’t need to stalk me better on LJ, I need to be ON more. ;)
I just got this now. Internet fail, I’m _ash there. :)
Full-time job search! That’s so exciting. It definitely won’t help with the stress while you look though…Good luck!
Thank you! I am in super procrastination mode, though, but I need to get some searchin’ on by the holidays. And I’ve got some letters to draft. Hopefully things will work out!
get the cheap ipad instead. You get access to the internet as well as being able to download books from Barnes and Noble and Amazon Kindle into your machine. Seriously it just does so much more than a nook and is SUPER handy.
But see, the ipads are SO expensive, and I just got a new laptop… Nooks now have wifi, and they hold music, so the only thing I wouldn’t be able to do on a Nook that I could on an ipad is watch videos, which I don’t really need to do. What I’m wondering is if I’ll use a Nook $150 worth.
Come back Come back!! As long as you blog we are still friends.
Back with a new post! Let’s be friends!
