December 30

here's picture since i've been so neglectful.

It's almost 1am in the morning and I can't sleep. I'm staying at my aunt and uncle's house in Abbotsford visiting with them, my grandmother and my parents who came all the way from Halifax for a Christmas visit. Matt and Tom are back in Vancouver, and I'm left tossing and turning without them.

I figure since I can't sleep I'll give you a run down of the past few weeks. So here it goes....

Ok. So true story, I got a new job. The twist of this tale is that it is not the job that I blogged about a few weeks ago (the one that I got the email about). Although, I was pretty sure I was going to get that job, which would have been a lousy reception position that paid handsomely, I ended up being offered a position at a non-profit charity organization called Nidus. To make a long story short I accepted the position despite the fact that I wouldn't make as much as I would waiting on a bunch of pompus architects. Needless to say I am so happy and proud of myself for making the decision that I did. I know this job will provide room to grow within the organization as well as invaluable career experience. So as of January the 5th I will be working a real life adult job with a real life adult title, Information Coordinator. AWESOME!

As for Christmas, it's been pretty rockin'. Matt, Tom and I spent Christmas here in Abbotsford with the family. I scored some pretty great gifts, particularly the jamjams that my grandmother made for me. I also got a hand made scarf from Matt's mom, which I am totally in love with and inspired by to take up knitting again (scarves for everyone!). Really though, getting to see my parents and spend some time with them has been the greatest.

Um, besides that nothing else to report. The room mates and I had a pot luck on Saturday. There was so much food, it was absurd. Once we realized how much food there really was we instated a rule that said guests were only allowed to leave once they had gained ten pounds. Oddly enough, that still didn't put a dent in the food. But everyone had a good time and left with big bellies and even bigger smiles. I got to meet some new people and hopefully made a couple of friends out of them.

As for New Years, I think we'll be having a few people over. Nothing big, nothing too exciting. Just a few good friends, some good music and lots of delicious food. I'm sure there will also be a good amount of liquor consumed and probably a certain amount of illicit drug use as well. I'll probably end up dancing by myself, like I do at every party, but I'm looking forward to it. It's not a party until Charity makes a boob of her self, right?!?

Anyway, I'm going to pop in a movie and see if that doesn't help me fall asleep. I probably won't be around until after the new year (in which I promise to blog more consitently and frequently) so I hope everyone has had a great 2008 and I miss you all like mad.

December 20

I'm sorry, but all I can do is read books. There's just something about winter and snow and being cold that forces me under the covers with a glass of wine and a few of Poe's best.

You understand, right?

December 13

I got a new job.

I would tell you more but I can't stop the snot from rolling down my upper lip long enough to type a couple of letters (it's taken me thirty minutes to type this much) and I'm super high from all the cold medication I've been taking so you're all just going to have to wait a couple of more days to hear the news.

Or you could just call me. Which you know, would be pretty awesome.

Hearts and hugs and gum drop cake.

December 9

All I'm going to say is this, I had a job interview on Monday that I got through a placement agency. I thought it went pretty well but really had no idea what they thought.

Anyway, I just got this email from the placement agency:

Hi Charity,

Of the people she has met thus far, you are her favorite. I’ll let you know when I have some more info for you.

Thanks

I know the company is planning on having a second interview with the people they like, so this isn't over yet. But so far, so good, I guess.

I'm probably cursing myself by being a loudmouth.

December 3

It's only Wednesday but already this week has blown massive hunks of vomit. Yea. Giant, florescent pink chunks of nearly digested Froot Loops. So guess what, week of December 1-6, you are dead to me. Dead.

Screw you terrible week!
