For the record: I was motivated to do all sorts of homework for about 20 mins. I finished up work for one class... and that's it.
I am sorry Statistics, you are going to be pushed aside for yet another week.
**SIGH.**
All I can think about is moving. It is consuming EVERYTHING I do. All I want to do is move there and decorate, however, life is not that simple right now. First, I need to find someone to sublet the current apartment, god I hope someone does that soon.
Allow me to rant:
WHY do people say they are going to sublet your apartment and assure you day after day that they will do it and convince you not to show your place to anyone else because they think it is so cute, and then flake on you at the last minute?? Someone I hold very near and dear to the heart thinks it's because this woman wants him to poop on her doorstep, haha.
That makes me feel better.
(end rant.)
Anyway, this week will be nuts. I am running the Turkey Trot again this year. I love running an 8k before Thanksgiving dinner; I feel way better about eating so much that I need to be rolled to the car and after that uncomfortable ride home, ya know, just given a good kick into my front door and then I just sleep where I land. It's a beautiful thing.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday.
No presents.
It always allows you a Friday off from work.
It is an excuse for pumpkin flavored everything. (awesome.)
Some people like to get all upset and overly pc about the barbarism of the day, but really? It's not like we all sit around and be all like, hell yeah, pilgrims! Woo! People use this day to just give thanks for the good in their lives, be with their friends or families and I see nothing wrong with that... or all the pumpkin-ness.
This year I am staying in the Chi for the blessed day. I went home last weekend to celebrate and holy crap my little brother made the BEST steaks I have ever had in my life. Seriously, the man is a genius with a grill.
The day before thanksgiving, I am working a half day and then I have 2 friends coming in town, one from Ireland (see his blog here: http://ssully.blogspot.com/) and his fabulous girlfriend who lives in Wisconsin. I like this tradition we are forming. Sully, being the smart individual that he is, has decided never to miss Thanksgiving, as it adds one more holiday to his year and one really excellent meal as well. Last year they both came to Chicago for the day before and decided to do it again this year, and I am only too happy to take a half day and hang out!
So the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday... I am not a big Black Friday shopper, I am moving on Black Friday this year actually, but that's not the point of this paragraph. The point of this paragraph is that my in box has been flooded with e-mails about SALES SALES SALES! So far, my favorite has been Victoria's Secret's "What's Sexy" list because I am curious to see how well some newer products sell. For example:
I am sorry, is that... is that a pink sea urchin coming out of your butt? My friend Kelly had a sea urchin spine in her foot once and that was painful, so you should be careful.
Anywho kids. Have a good Thanksgiving!
