Christmas in a Box

Another day with no studying and no work! You think I'd be all relaxed and loving it but I'm not. I'm bored. SO BORED!

So today I am distracting myself with CB's care package until the dreaded Costco shopping event later this afternoon....
So far I have:

• Peach candy canes
• Peanut-butter m&m's 
• Underwear
• X-mas stocking
• Toothbrush
• Shampoo
• Body wash
• 2 of his favorite smoothie juice mixes - thanks to his lovely cousin's wife who owns the smoothie shop
• A bunch of letters
• Pictures of all the event's he has missed
• and his option A or option B Christmas present 

You see I wasn't sure what to get him, I had 2 really good ideas, so I'm going to let him pick.

Option A is the playstation move or option B is a brand new power tool

I'm curious to see what he'll pick. I plan on writing the two options out on cue cards and putting them in separate envelopes, kinda like an IOU style. I figured this was the best way to get him something he really wants and let him know now what it is. It's not like I can really send that much over there, he has to bring it all back and he barely had enough room sending everything there. He brought so, so, so many bags. He packs like a woman.

This is my lovely x-mas present from him. I had fallen in love with a much more expensive Bench jacket but I just couldn't bring myself to ask him for that one. I know he would've spent the money in a heart beat but I just couldn't. I feel a hell of a lot better not asking for it now, especially after learning about Cece's antics.

2 weeks! New rule!

I realized the other day while I was talking with lil sis that I have to stop being negative. As much as I want to say "Oh My GOD! It's only been 2 weeks!!!!" I need to think " Oh wow, it's already been two weeks!!" Except .....except,except,except I can't help but add "22 more to go" with a sarcastic tone in my head. I want to kick my own ass! I feel like I am self sabotaging. This is no longer aloud! It's officially a rule!

...Oh and as for crying on city buses, that is also no longer allowed and also a rule!

I scared the life out of myself this morning.
I wondered downstairs after waking up to let the dog out and in search of a nice cup of last nights left over coffee. Get the dog out the back door and a mug in the microwave, things are starting off great! I go to check on Pooper and watch him while I wait for the magical *BEEP*your coffee is now reheated *BEEP*. Well as I turned around to walk back to the kitchen I notice what looks to be like a man sitting on the sofa and I screamed! I was so caught off guard I tripped and landed on my ass. Apparently I had left Huge-O downstairs last night and I thought he was a real person. My mom came down laughing at me knowing exactly what had just happened. She told me after we were done laughing he creeped her out a few times last night too as she was moving around the kitchen and living room.
Anyways just in case your wondering, the coffee was wonderful!

CB's game, Medal of Honor? (how bad is that I ordered it, paid for it, opened the box, and I still can't tell you the name of the thing...) came in yesterday! He's going to be super excited....in about a month from now lol. I'm getting all the last things together for his care package. Canada post apparently has free shipping from October 18th to January 2nd which is super awesome but I've been warned to expect some issues with them. Apparently they don't understand or like the protocol  I have to follow in order to ship anything to him, they want full information on the box and apparently this usually results with forcing them to make a phone call or taking the parcel somewhere else. Hopefully this is not the case here and it's just an exaggerated story someone decided to tell me.

Mid terms are on Wednesday, I have entered mini panic mode, I expect to hit full panic freak out by about Tuesday afternoon. PLEASE BE MULTIPLE CHOICE!!!!!!

*What I miss about him most - his love for my shoes, I need new boots and hes so supportive of my shoe addiction. He so fun to shop with and I love how we go shopping for me but we end up shopping for him. I could watch him change all day.

Shut The Front Door!

What do you get when you quit your job?
Apparently in my case the answer is MONEY!

I came home to check the mail today and BOOM a government check, okay so it was only 80$ but I'm jobless at the moment and money is money. So my next step was to check my school e-mail and what do I find in my inbox? More money!!!!! I got accepted for a bursary that will cover almost all of next semesters tuition!
Needless to say I was doing my happy dance around the kitchen as I waited for my coffee to brew. I'm pretty sure the dog was looking at me thinking "She's nuts!!How did I end up with her as my mommy?"

I spent over an hour on the phone with my best friend, who we will call Bella, tonight. It was great catching up with her. We haven't spoken in what seems like over a month. Life gets busy. We made plans for me to go down and visit in a couple of weeks, once I wrap up my mid terms. It's much easier now that I'm jobless! Tons of free time! Not that I can stay jobless for long, the bills have this habit of rolling around everyone month and they actually expect to be paid... Sheesh...

No contact with CB today so I spent the day planning out his care package so far I have planned to send

• Lots of letters
• A small empty picture album he can fill up with the photos I will send
• A few pictures
• Peanut butter M&M's (he had no idea these existed until I showed him how awesome they are. If you haven't tried them I highly suggest you do! Unless you are allergic...)
• Medal of Honor - I pre ordered it as to avoid having to stand with all the gamers on release day...
• Tanning oil & sunscreen
• A book of sudokus

This is where I need some help. I want to send a board game of some sort, I surfed Toys R Us for a while and only ended up more confused.... I can't decide which one

Trouble? Sorry? Clue? Risk? Operation? Life?
Any suggestions???
I wanted to send Lego too but apparently Lego has decided you should no longer have an imagination and can only build what they have decided for you beforehand. I have now renamed Lego to Lame.

*What I miss about him most - Laying in bed side by side with him reading "Flipping houses for dummies" and me "studying" until it turns into us both reading flipping houses for dummies together.
