Hey, I’m back!
So, the new year has started. I spent the holidays with my family at home in St. Pete and in West Palm with Rob’s family. I was finally able to take Rob to Sunken Gardens, one of my most favorite places in Florida. I got a lot of stuff I wanted, and am really thankful to everyone. I’m in the process of sending off thank you cards to relatives. I got Rob some new fancy lights for his photography. It was nice to spend time with Rob’s parents. 
Right now I’m starting to get things in gear for the new year. I’m finalizing my business card design and should have it sent off to a printing company in a day or two. I’m going to make a new layout for my portfolio and re-vamp my resume (yet again). I’m going to start searching for jobs in the next few days. Wish me luck!
I’m sort of doing stuff around the house right now, I have a whole long page of chores. So, I don’t know how much I’ll be online. I’ll try to go through the stuff for the QBee that’s accumulated over Christmas.
Here’s some pictures from testing out Rob’s new lights.
Oh, and it’s 28 F tonight. The coldest it’s been all winter. It’s going to be back up to 70 this weekend. It’d be nice if the weather could just be like 50, rather than going between FREEZING and SUMMER every other week.
Back from Thanksgiving
So, I survived Thanksgiving with the family! It was pretty nice. We had a nice dinner with the parents, my sister, grama, sister’s boyfriend, Rob and me. I helped mom cook a little but she had most of it under control, so I just did minor things like stirring this, measuring that and opening the oven for the turkey. And grama cooked two delicious pies: chocolate and apple. I had both! Most of the weekend was spent just hanging out and watching movies.
I almost didn’t survive shopping though. Rob and I went to Best Buy at 4 AM to get in line for shopping. After about 30 minutes I started to feel really sick. I think it was a combination of waking up early, eating warm turkey, and standing out in the cold. I started to feel like I was going to throw up and Rob had to drive me to the CVS nearby. Luckily I didn’t get sick, and after a little white out of the cold I started to feel better. So, we went shopping at JCPenny’s since it was open at 5am. We did some shopping, and at around 7 Mom and my sister met up with us. We then did more shopping. Around 8 it felt like time to go home, so Rob, sister and I started to go home. I made them stop at Micheals ’cause I had a ton of coupons and I wanted to get some things. So, after 15 minutes of shopping I had my stuff and got in line to check out. AN HOUR LATER I was able to check out. Turns out that they had to enter every discount and every coupon by hand. It really sucked, especially since I wasn’t feeling too good. Rob and my sister wandered around the shopping center, so they weren’t too bored. After that we went home and I took a nap. Rob went back to Best Buy later that day. I felt a little bad that I forced us to leave earlier that morning.
All in all it was a good weekend. I got a few things for use right now and a few things for gifts. For use right now I got a little purse, a light jacket, a 2Gig USB thumb drive and some anime DVDs.
I put in my two weeks notice at work. I am quitting the 7th of December, the same day as my last exam.
Now this week will be spent frantically studying for my French exam! And taking vitamin C so hopefully I don’t get sick.
