• I know, it's been awhile. I wanted something x-massy looking, but this is looking more like a watermelon theme to me!!

  
  

  Okay...much better. I've been so busy! This year has gone by so fast! So what have I been up to?

  
  

  I've been shopping. I thought my list was small, but it's actually pretty huge...a little bit over 30 people. Several birthday gifts included in the mix. The difference this year is that I've enjoyed my time shopping for people. I got some really nice gifts at good prices --> right before and after the Thanksgiving Day sale. But, for the parents and some friends, I had to buy online. Can I just say "I really like overstock.com and ebay!!"...and damn, ebay is damn addictive. I'm currently bidding on this digital camera I've been wanting for 2 years now, but always thought it to be too pricey for the size.

  
  

  New Years --> I think I'm either going to a wedding or chillin' at home. I'm not at all prepared for that yet.

  
  

  What I've been preparing for are the numerous x-mas parties and gatherings. This weekend though, I'm studying for my final on Tuesday. Then it's a week of x-mas exchanges here at work, then x-mas dinner w/ some friends on friday, then a weekend with the girls in Santa Barbara, then dinner at Michelle's, then work x-mas party, then HS reunion x-mas dinner, then family x-mas, then little bro's b-day, then new years!! Geez...what the heck happened!!

  
  

  This week has been a good week overall. I actually worked close to 72 hours --> I say close to b/c I came in an hour late at some of my shifts...(but that's only b/c I knew there was coverage). Had dinner with the sisters. It was fun just chillin' with them and seeing what their plans are for the remainder of the school year. I think I want to host a gathering...it's been a good year for the sorority me thinks. I see the girls closer and there's no longer this "rift" I felt between alumni and actives. It makes me want to get more involved and help out more b/c of this!  Maybe I'll host a stay in Orlando!! The only thing is...what the hell do you do in Orlando?!! Now South Beach..that's another story!

  
  

  If there's a career panel next year, I definitely want to get involved, but I have a few ideas up my sleeves as well  I've come to the conclusion that the good gifts are the gifts that you can and will use --> not ones that take up space. I really hate gifts where all they do is take up space (cuz my room is so limited)...but at the same time, I'm so slow at finishing things up (i.e. perfume, lotion, etc). I seriously have to put lotion out for people to use cuz I know I won't finish it anytime soon. Other things on my mind...increase saving plans, retirement plans...buy a house! Yup..I said it, I'm actually ready to buy a house!! I can't believe it either! Alright, I'm now rambling....my thoughts are taking me to craigslist...so there I shall go!
