I'm sitting in the front room with the fireplace going and drinking a glass of wine; okay it's my third glass of wine (hey, they are small glasses!). Random thoughts of the past week's events come and go, perhaps if I document them I'll be able to clear my head. So, here they are, in no particular order.
1. With all the snow this past week, I was suprised to see that the sidewalks are not kept clean. Yep, in this little expensive town that I'm living in, shop owners do no bother to shovel the sidewalks. Instead, every morning and after the sun goes down the tempature drops causing the remainder snow/slush to freeze over. What's up with that?
2. A good way to keep the kitchen clean - don't cook.
3. I hate IKEA. Everything about it, they force you to walk through the store in certain fashion, the crowds, the do it yourself. I'd rather pay more and have an enjoyable shopping experience. (After finding what I wanted, I left the store and plan to order everything on-line)
4. I love cranberry sauce. Last night I was invited over to Gill and Daniel's house for a post Thanksgiving dinner. I ate four giant servings of cranberry sauce - my favorite part of the meal.
5. I miss yoga. Such minimal yoga class options. I miss all the studios and classes in Portland. I've been horrible about doing self practices and I really dislike myself for having such lack of discipline.
6. I miss D, Juju, and Mooshi more than anything. I literally think of them and get tears. Not kidding. It happened to me while walking, sitting in a coffee shop and even now. So I'm moving on.
7. A week ago, one of the neighbor ladies knocked on my door inviting me over for a glass of wine with some other neighbor ladies. How nice was that? Of course, I said yes. Now, here's my dilemna. I wasn't for sure which neighbor it was??!! You have to understand, I've only spoken to both ladies that live on either side of me for such a short time. And as D can attest to, I'm absolutely the worst with faces and names. And I forgot who was who! Fortunately I had a plan. The invite was for 5pm. So a few minutes before 5 I went upstairs to the bedroom where I could look out the window onto the street to see what house the other neighbor ladies were going to. Would it be the house that is attached to mine on the left? Or would it be the one to the right of me. So, there I was in my dark bedroom looking out the window, waiting to see what house people were going to. Sure enough - I watched a lady go into the neighbor's house on the right. I had written down both our neighbor's names so looked it up and sure enough it was Kate, house 19. I was dressed and ready to go; I put my shoes on and headed on over.
8. For the last two weeks since I've been back I've downloaded TV shoes from iTunes and every night watch TV. Hence, the lack of blogging. I don't care. I'm lonely, it's freezing cold outside and all I want to do is hibernate.
9. My furniture is finally set to arrive this Tuesday. Actually it was to arrive last Friday, but do to the snowstorm it was delayed. Unfortunately, I can't be here and have to reschedule it. What a pain, I really want some furniture.
10. I want to skip our holiday Christmas party and work and instead go to yoga. I doubt I can pull that off.
Okay, it's 10pm, time for one more TV show. I'm so pathetic, since it's on my laptop I can lay in bed and watch it. I'm really quite pathetic, but I really don't care.
