when the stars have all gone out / you'll still be burning so bright
mondays are definitely the worst. okay, maybe not, but this morning i can not get motivated – i even got to sleep in a bit. i don’t run on monday mornings (which makes me lethargic the rest of the day). and i just want the evening to be here. we are having our holiday departmental party this evening, which i am looking forward to. i made little cheesecakes for it. they are yummy, but i think i should have modeled them better as they set, as they look squashed. oh well.
my service engine soon light is on in my car. i am annoyed as i bet it has everything to do with the oil change i got done last week. and the place is neither near work nor home as i picked that dealership because it was close to ikea. though the dealership that is closeish to work/home did piss me off earlier this year, and so therefore i don’t go to them. c’est le vie. i’m glad i get to deal with it when i am not super busy.
this weekend was beautiful. saturday we had our first real snow fall. i spent a good half an hour watching it from the window. it was like glitter fluttering down in the lamp light. i do admit that snow is really romantic. saturday i also got to pet one of my favorite dogs in ben’s neighborhood. it is a little pug, and it was wearing a little coat. it was soooooooooo cute. she ran over to me as i rang ben’s buzzer and i got to pet her head as she played with my scarf. it was the perfect evening as ben cooked me dinner and we watch the game. it was a very interesting movie. not to gush or anything, but i have the best b/f ever.
sunday marina and i went shopping downtown – mostly to the h&m store, which is this new store here that is all the rage. though i didn’t have high hopes, i found that i did enjoy it. i think i was enjoy it a lot more if there was not a million people. i do have to admit that they did a good job with people control. i found more presents for the females of my family. some years it is really hard think of gifts, others (like this one) i have found lots. so jenny and rachel are getting their christmas and birthday presents when I am home. i just couldn’t pass these things up. so it goes.
sunday evening i wrapped presents and chatted with liz and then chris. sunday nights are my catch up on the phone night. the whole b/f thing has really cut into my phone time. ; ) i love wrapping presents. i have one really large present that it a pain to wrap because it is fairly fragile. but i managed to do it. my cat is really enjoying all the wrapping supplies that litter my living room. she has ribbon strung out everywhere. though last night she was not making me real happy as every time i moved in bed she meowed.
i definitely think the week before christmas break is the hardest week to work.
ooooo, i do have to say a happiness is... thing. happiness is not having all sorts of drama in one's life. this time last year i was entangled in a quasi complicated relationship. i am thankful that this year i am content and happy (one could say giddy) to be in a clearly defined, dramaless, solid, loving relationship.
