Wintertime!

I'm a huge slacker who never updates her journal, so says Frank. It's getting to be verryyyy coollld outside which makes me want to go to Florida TONIGHTA. We've already had a bit of snow which is lovely when I have off work. but won't be so lovely if I have to work and drive in it, or get stuck at the hospital. I really wish I had been able to save up lots of money when I started working so I could have some extra for perhaps a more winter-ready car. Hopefully Silver Fox (the Saturn) will be able to continue it's run as SNOW BEAST for a least one more winter til I can get something with AWD or just pack up and move to Florida and get something faster :-).

I have 1 week off of work from Tuesday - Tuesday that I'm right in the middle of. It has been LOVELY. I would not be upset if I never had to go back. But alas, I do. And I have to work Christmas Eve, day, and the following day... laaaame. Not sure if Frank will be here for the holidays but if he isn't I think my mom will stay with me Christmas Eve on my big comfy couch because working all the Christmas holiday and being here all alone will be very depressing. He should be starting work soon (hooorraaayyyy!) so I will actually have some help with my living expenses and I think I'll be able to start saving a lot more money. I desperately need a coffee table and desk for my computer room with no computer.

I also think we're going to paint the apartment and deciding on colors is fun, but I'm not very good at decorating or anything like that so I'm glad I have help. Otherwise it would stay white and boring in here. My apartment (aside from Christmastime where I decked it out all cute-like for now) looks like a boy lives here and that kind of bugs me but I don't really have the skills by myself to do anything about it. Having Frank around has been lovely :-) It makes this place a lot more fun and he puts up with my grumpiness before and after work very well lol. I think the solution is me working a lot less but that is not do-able right now. I will cut back my hours to 36/week in June and haven't decided on going to permanent night shift yet but it is appealing.

My birthday was this past Tuesday and I had a great one :-) I have awesome people in my life these days and I feel so blessed to have such great friends and family.. and bunnies. Can't forget the buns. Frank and I made them their own bunny Christmas stockings with their names on them that are super cute. All that's left is for me to wrap all the presents for everyone and I'll be all set for Christmas. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/ whatever the heck else people celebrate.

And GO RAVENS.
