Usually, I love the holidays. I love the holiday spirit. I love seeing all the decorations in stores, malls and places in general like San Fran or Crescent Street in Concord. I love the Christmasy music, the Christmas movies, gift wrapping, the lights of the Christmas tree downstairs and the cold weather.
But this year, I haven't had much time to actually enjoy it. And that annoys me. The holiday season breezed past me last year because of all the hectic-ness of the wedding and I don't really remember anything about Christmas last year. And this year? The hectic-ness of moving is really stressful. Not only did I realize that Christmas is literally around the corner but I also realized that I have two weeks to clean and pack everything up. Two weeks. Two flippin weeks. How the FUCK did that happen? I had three months at one point, where did that go?
I'm going to spend the rest of tonight posting up blogs in my book and beauty blog, finishing Fall For Anything by Courtney Summers (since it releases tomorrow), wrapping dad's gift, cleaning the room a bit and putting away books.
I hate how the days escape me so quickly.
I got my Sephora package just now (Tokidoki stuff!) and my HarperCollins books for review (The Book of Tomorrow & Between a Rock and a Hot Place). So that's exciting. Tomorrow it's bank (hopefully, if mom remembers my check) and post office to mail Martin's cables back to Amazon. Hoping to sell off more of my makeup before I leave too.
Ugh, never enough time!
Monday was our last day of class. I didn't really think much of it except that I was annoyed about our presentation. I was on a search for fuzzy socks for guys before class, while husband was at the gym. Apparently fuzzy socks for guys aren't the hottest trend this season. I got CJ some gloves instead. The kind with the caps. I'm jealous, his are cool. They're magnetic.Mine has a button. I also got some earrings from The Icing and two of their new chrome nail polishes. I'm obsessed with chrome nail polish!
Class went by pretty fast, we had a few exercises and then we went on to our presentation in which, I blanked completely on my slide. How embarrassing. But the teacher did like what Victor and Martin did with the intro slide. It was so stupid haha but funny! We got full points just because of that slide alone. Whoooo!
Tuesday I woke up to husband trying to wake me up saying I got my book in that he got me for Christmas. I was half asleep though, so I didn't care lol. He also brought home a big box of Fruit Roll Ups. His reason? "I know you've been looking for themfor a while". Awww, what a sweetie :)! I spent the day doing nothing. Which is bad when you have less than 30 days to move. But man, I just really didn't feel like doing anything!
Wednesday (yesterday) we went to stop by Peoples to catch up and stuff with some of our favorite teachers (mostly Ms. G and Ms. Feeley, I think everyone else left already). Ms. Feeley is so cheerful! She's seriously the coolest teacher in the history of the world. And Ms. G is just plain mean lol. She's always so sarcastic and ready to attack, but in a friendly way :). It was nice being there again, I miss it so much. So much has changed there! And Leadership is falling off, which makes me sad, hopefully it'll pick up again... our Vice Principal, Mr. Mims retired last year and so they made this mural for him...
I thought it was pretty funny. They got him looking all ghetto with a peace sign and stuff. And the pyramids next to him lol. Whoever did this is awesome. With Mims you were either a citizen, a friend or a criminal. He also had a friend named "door" who had another friend named "Tuolumne" and another friend named "Broadway" (which are the streets thatsurround Peoples High School lol). Lucky me, I was always the first two :).
Husband is so big on watching movies.
In the last 48 hours I've watched Message in a Bottle, Vampires Suck and Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I survived LOTR 1! I totally enjoyed it too. Disappointed that Orlando Bloom didn't fuck shit up like he does in every other movie (POTC, Elizabethtown, Troy...).
I'm hungry. My stomach has felt like a never ending pit of.... never ending lately. Ugh, it's so annoying! Maybe I'm eating too many empty calories. I need to stock up on healthy food again. I don't know why I slacked off!
I've been in a reading rut lately. I know I'm suppose to be reading books like crazy. Enough for December and January but I just... don't feel like reading right now. But I got a ton of stuff to review. I was gonna say something else and I don't remember what it was. Ahh! It's getting late, my brain is getting fuzzy.
Husband is going to go Christmas shopping on Monday, hopefully. I don't want him to do put it off too late. We don't have a ton of time.
Time.
I'm always talking about time...
Oh! I remember! I'm obsessed with Bath and Body Works Twisted Peppermint body lotion. It smells so good! And it makes my legs tingly :)
Okay, off to read more Anna and the French Kiss!
I've been trying to decide on a blog to blog at and I think I'll settle in here. I love this name and I need somewhere new to blog. Even if there isn't much of an audience to speak to. Just somewhere I can write shit down. Cause honestly, I miss just writing shit down. Somewhere where I don't feel like I have to impress a company.
I can't believe it's already December. Just a few more weeks and I'll be on a plane to my new place. It's crazy to think about... how fast time is going. But I guess it's because Winter days are much shorter and being cold makes you procrastinate. For example, I have a few weeks left and I haven't packed not one thing and I have a lot of crap in my room. Not just my room but all over the house. I don't know what I'm going to do with half of it! I'm thinking of selling some books/DVD's at Half Priced Books and selling some makeup on my makeup blog (though I'm not getting many sales) or eBay. Just to get it out of my sight. Most of it isn't even used either. I need to stop by my county of birth too, to get an official stamped birth certificate that my new job is requesting since I have *no* idea where the hell my social security card went. I had it when I was filling out our marriage license stuff last year and now I don't know where it is! Ughhh. If there's one thing I'm bound to lose over and over it's my damn social security card. I don't think I'd be able to use it anyway, my mom laminated it. For what reason is beyond me. Thanks mom!
Just like last year, I won't have much time to enjoy the holidays this year since I'll be busy with moving and packing and trying to keep my book blog updated as much as I can. Especially in January since I won't know how busy I am. Now reading enough books to post reviews for both January and December? Hope for me, k?
I'm going to miss my baby Boqers. I'm watching him gather stinky bedding right now. I guess he's cold. I was suppose to clean his cage today, but both my parents are home and even though they don't admit it, every time I'm busy doing something they get in my way. You see I'm busy, why are you asking me random questions!? I don't get parents sometimes.
I'm going to stop now lol. I'm going to keep babbling if I don't. I hope to keep this updated. That would be nice!
First they're all for Martin to stay here and now they're not. Because I'm occupying two rooms.
It's just easier when he's here because I don't have to be 100% OCD all the time. I can go a night without washing my hair if I want to. I don't have to vacuum every night. I don't have to worry so much about my laundry touching things. I don't have to listen to my dad running the damn kitchen faucet every fuckin three seconds. I don't hear my mom stepping on the same fuckin creek on the same fuckin stair every time she goes downstairs. It's quiet in this room. I can actually sleep. I can nap if I want to without being woken up 5 minutes into falling asleep and I don't have to hear my dad snoring.
Plus I've already moved the majority of my books in this room. And now I can't put them back in my room cause they're "dirty" now.
As much as I love my book collection, I know I need to let some of these books go. I need to read them and let them go. I simply don't have room here for them. I don't have room for much in this house, even though I do take up a lot of room. I tried throwing out a bunch of clothes I didn't wear anymore while my parents were at Vegas, but I didn't get around to cleaning out my room. I probably should soon though.
---------------------------
I applied for the Walt Disney World College Program. I had my phone interview on Wednesday the 15th, I turned in my application I think 1AM-ish on Saturday morning? I didn't tell my parents, I just said I had a phone interview that was extremely important. I won't hear for the next 2-6 weeks if I'm accepted or not. Martin applied too, I'm hoping we both get in, even though it's across the country in Florida... I figure if I don't get accepted, I'll apply to the one at Disneyland.
I'm sad at the thought of leaving the only house I've ever lived in, but at the same time, I'm 25. I'm 5 years away from being 30 and I've never lived anywhere else. And working for Disney is my dream. I don't want to spend the rest of my life wondering, this could be my big break! I don't wanna leave Meez or Jay or Boq, but I have to. Other than my furbabies and my abers, I don't have much else of a reason to stay here.
I just know if I tell my parents if I get accepted they won't be happy for me. They won't be excited for me. They don't know how much this means to me. They don't know how big of a Disney fan I am. And the last time I brought this up with my mom, she said it was just a childish dream. Just like with every other dream I've ever had. And I can only imagine what my dad will say, which I'm sure will consist of "that's too far". And it makes me sad, but I think I've pretty much accepted that nothing I do will make them proud. And I'm doing everything for me. To take care of myself. To make sure I get to where I need to go.
At least I know my abers will be happy and proud of me. And I know I'll be proud of me. And that's all that should really matter anyway.
