It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Blows Up

Oh, Christmas tree!

So I had a great Thanksgiving and all... a little weird, but it turned out to be really great. I went to a friends place for dinner with a bunch of other people who couldn't be with their families, so who else happens to be there? Only G.I. Joe's roommate. Awkward...ish.

Go State!

So anyway, you guys know my opinion about being a single lady right now - it's what I need and I'm enjoying it, but it's this time of year that makes me miss having someone around. For example, it's really hard to trim a tree when there's no one standing on the other stand to hand strings of lights or tinsel around. Then when you get your lights plugged in and you have your space heater on and you decide that you want to heat up some leftovers so you toss some in the microwave and turn it on and you flip a breaker and you have no idea which breaker goes to where and your arms are too short to reach the switches behind the fridge. SUCKS! And I wish I had someone to help me out or to rush in and the save the day, but what's more important, I think, is that I figured all that shit out by myself and saved my own day. Boom. Go me. And now my tree is up and I am cuddled with my wine watching Just Friends and feeling comfort in the fact that at least my holiday won't be that screwed up, because let's face it - relationships just complicate everything anyway.

I'm Sorry I'm So Neglectful, I Feel Like A Terrible Person

You all should have known that my hiatus was coming... it's inevitable. From the get-go, I said that I would try hard to post consistently and most likely fail...I'm just proving myself right. So much has happened! And yet, nothing really that exciting has happened.

First of all, let me just get something off my chest:
                                        WILDCATS ARE NUMBER ONE! #emaw
And I'm pretty pumped that Oregon is number two, but since I do not yet live there, and haven't attended Oregon yet, I still bleed purple for the time being. And when I finally do move, I'll bleed this weird color that happens when you mix purple and green together, which is probably a nasty brown color.

Today, I bought my first ever turkey... I have no idea how to cook it, so I'll just pawn that task off to the roommate. I've organized a day at the challenge course for all my work friends and then we'll be stuffing our faces and drinking too much after some team building and bonding activities. I do not get to go home for Thanksgiving, but since I grew up in England where said holiday does not exist...it's not that big a deal. Plus, I have military friends who are stuck here too so we'll all get together and be a fitting family of misfits. Wait, what?

New hair!

I start school in January! I have to take math :( and English...and philosophy and anthropology. Two fun classes, one indifferent, and one MISERABLE. I hate math. But I'm ready to repair my GPA and do what it takes to get to Oregon (quack).

I got really sick last week, so I have yet to make a video explaining the strangeness of Halloween. But soon, I promise. I PROMISE. I'm also trying to compile a list of messy situations I've ever been involved in, inspired by this morning when I was steaming milk and knocked the pitcher over and sprayed steam and milk EVERYWHERE. There's a reason I chose the title "It Went Everywhere" and that's because it really did go everywhere. I did get my hurr did though. I had it trimmed up and dyed a plum color with red highlights, of course.

Tonight is Old Chicago night, one of my many new traditions that have me loving life.

ADDENDUM: Tonight WAS Old Chicago night, but I just got home from that.... 5 beers later and here I am. Maybe I'm about to do things I won't agree with in the morning, but you know what? YOLO! Yeah,  I went there...

Back soon, promise!
Video soon, promise!

Miss Georgia!!
