tis the season....

A pre-Christmas pre-New Year rant in the life of H. Ah, what the heck... lets make it a list!!!
1. On holidays for the next 2 weeks!! Yeah!! I like my job but it is busy and loud and stressful. I often wonder what it would be like to go to work and spend my day doing paperwork in front of a computer screen.... it would be sooooooo different from what I experience everyday right now, where my world revolves around the moods, actions, and learnings, of very unpredictable tweens.... it is a crazy world they live in thats for sure. They never cease to amaze me.
2. Christmas is in a few days, I feel Christmased out from all the 'fun' at work, so its good that I have a few days to get back in the 'spirit'.
3. Living in town is good. Still a little weird. Very quiet and I feel more 'out of the loop' than ever. But it is more convenient and nice to be home in 10 minutes as opposed to 30.
4. I like my space and different sense of independence that I have re-gained in this move.
5. I don't like doing dishes and I think that dishwashers should be standard equipment in every home.... I'm thinking my next house will need one!!!
6. Family happenings are awkward and I don't know what to think.... I don't understand it.
7. I feel change is imminent, though I don't know how or when...
8. I spend too much time by myself now that I live by myself... its weird. Is it possible to have too much 'me time?'
9. I'm running out of things to say so I'm glad I'm on number 9!!
10. The future looms in front of me, with continual uncertainties. I have many hopes for my uncertain future, and wish I could peek ahead to see if any will happen, though I suppose that might spoil the journey.

Thats all for now, I'm sure a 'New Year's' post will come along shortly.

Wishing everyone Peace and Joy this Christmas Season. May your hearts be full.

quick update

After my little rant on the last post I thought I would update that I recently got in touch with a 'long lost' friend. SO FUN. I've tried to find her on a few occasions but alas the internet was no help and the fact that she got married and changed her name may not have helped. BUT. She was doing the same thing and actually found me about a year ago somewhere with my name on a school newsletter or something (weird) and recently on FACEBOOK. As annoying as it may be I'm fairly addicted and wouldn't be in touch with so many friends from all over the place without it....
Yup. I like facebook. It has been super exciting to catch up with this person... and though she lives somewhere in Alaska... we are once again 'in touch' 10 or so years later. LOVE IT.
Kay thats it for now.
I'm ready for Christmas holidays.... like now.
Laterz.
