Winter's Backlog?

I love the snow; I truly do.Unfortunately since January has decided to give us back all the snow we missed over the years, we've had at least one storm ever week since the month got here. It doesn't bother me so much, but I don't drive or shovel and it seems to freak everyone else out. So in short, I still love winter, but it's playing merry heck with my plans.
Three days in a row my plans have been canseled, and all because of the same storm! But the good news is that I will finally get to try a recipe I've been wanting to make for some time now. Now I can only hope hope hope against snow that my weekend plans don't fall through.
I hope you are safe and warm this winter, and try not to go stir crazy! hehehe toodles!

Because I Smile When I Am Happy

No, I am not up super early, in fact I haven't slept yet. I wanted to finish up some things so I could sleep freely. It took longer than I expected and I wasn't going to blog any, but my book isn't done transfering so here I am. =D
Tonight and this morning I am thinking happy thoughts and lovely things so here are some lovely thoughts for you. I find that there is something truly awesome about holding another living being. It's one thing to see them walk, talk, moo, hiss, pur ect. but when you touch another living being, even as small as my tiny leopard gecko Joei, you can feel their life.
I love to hold cats or dogs or lizards and feel their tiny heart beats and the rhythm of their breathing; it's comforting somehow. And let's don't forget hugs.
Here, only real hugs count. While side hugs may be appropriate in some circumstances, they are not real hugs and do not make a connection. Perhaps that is part of why I am such a cuddlebug; I am comforted by that feeling of life.
So cheers to life and living! ... and the hugs ;)

Chipmunk Face

So, I think the sergery went well, only Now my face is all swolen. Fun right? And of course the pain pills didn't help with the major rocking throbbing pain so I just put up with it. I really thought these ones would work because it was the strong stuff, but nope ... nothing. *sigh*
When I can feel again, I will mourn the loss of my wisdom teeth, but for now I am happy enough that I don't hurt as bad. --- side note, my too roomies are both on the phone having separate conversations and I think my head is going to explode! aaaaaahhh!
Ok, I just shut the door; I think i'm good now. Yeah ... pretty much now I'm just rambling, but I've gotten past the important part. =D
TTFN sorry for the super lame post

Crashing Back To Earth

... And so, fresh from the retreat, bright-eyed and full of potential, she set off to right. ... Enter reality. Yesterday I came back from the third annual writing retreat held by our English club. We started it with our advisor back when I was president and we were all excited about writing. I am not the president anymore since graduating and I personally feel that the current members are a bit distracted by their other responsibilities, but the turn out continues to grow and the retreat will live on for a very long time. At the time the retreat began, there were only eight of us, including our faculty advisor and two alums. The hotel we found--somewhat by accident-- was the cheapest we could afford, but turned out to be an amazing find! I think our advisor called it budget luxury. This year that whole pioneer group of us are alums, though we lost two. Our original session leader, who on the first retreat lead all of the sessions/workshops, lead our first session, but this year, like the last, we were able to have multiple session leaders. Last year I skipped a few, but This year I wanted to try for all of them. The year the sessions become so numerous that they over lap, I will declare the retreat a conference and mourn it’s loss. Being away is always so much fun for me, but has always been hard because I am always reluctant to come back home. Even after I get home and except that the adventure is over for now, I usually need a bit of time with my memories to separate myself before I can really talk about it with anyone who was not there. That being said, and this being Monday, I think my friends are hot tub obsessed! I liked the hot tub plenty even if it was way too hot for my liking, but every time we had even half an hour of downtime they wanted to go back in the hot tub. We also broke tradition slight and went to Applebee’s twice. The first year when we discovered that the hotel Had an Applebee’s in it, I guess we decided it would be our traditional first meal. Last year, when we all tried to sit at the same table, It was kind of a mess since we had so many people. But this year Slippers and I and our friend … one of the original, sat at our own table and goofed off. After that we pretty much stuck together the whole time, though not exclusively.Our second time at Applebee’s was Saturday afternoon when Everyone else had sandwiches. One girl couldn’t have bread or cheese and I had leftovers still so five of us were going to get take out but ended up eating there. As far as fun things in my future go, this was the last thing I had planned, So I haven’t much in the way of events to look forward to for a while now. And tomorrow I get my wisdomteeth pulled. Wish me Luck! =D TTFN

Happy Happy New Year Baby

So I had this really cool cool post all about my exciting end of the year weekend, but then My computer was acting up and I couldn't post anything. But it all seems to be here now and I'll try to get it all in.
So first two of my friends got married and it was beautiful and midieval and so totally what I would've expected from the bride. There was a kniting ceremony and the sword was real! And at the reception there was an ice sculpture of a castle. I've always been fascinated by ice sculpture. And of course there was lots and lots of dancing!
A bunch of us got in a random dance cluster and all danced together. Mostly I danced with Running Slippers, but we changed partners too. I had so much fun and the whole thing definitely put me in a "awh I wanna get married" mood, but only for about 15 minutes lol. I wish the both of them great happiness!
On friday there was a new years party and I brought along Eddie and played for everyone. I was supposed to go to another friend's house for New Years day, but my ride ended up not going so Saturday I stayed at home and did nothing. ... And now we're here.
Is today Tuesday already? I am very excited about the writing retreat this coming weekend! But first I will have to get through tomorrow. I'm not sure what it's about
****** scratch that. Due to a somewhat longish conversation I no longer have any obligations tomorrow. W00T!

Retreat here I come! In about three days. =D
