thanksgiving away!

The last few weeks have literally flown by in the blink of an eye. Some highlights:

• I for real ran out of hard drive space.
• My dvd burner is broken so I asked Brian to get me a new external harddrive. He got me this Passport portable 400gb in a deep red, almost suede texture, and I love it, SO cute and fast.
• The snow has been unbelievable already and it’s not even December. It feels like the dead of late January. I totally missed the window to pick up leaves. At this point they’re staying till the spring.
• Some of my main favorite people in my life all have the same name. Kristin H., Kristin L., and Kristin U., Christy B., and Christa P. It’s… A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH people.
• Day-job work has been busy
• I am behind on my freelance and photos. I have a few in need of editing. I Hope to get some work done over break!
• I have 3 weddings scheduled within 2 weeks of each other for May of 2009. I am psyched.
• I am officially taking off all the time in between Christmas and New Years from said Day-job. This is the FIRST time I’ve ever done this. I am so excited. The hubs is also off, so this makes things wonderful.
• When you’re least expecting it, things go wrong in your home/car/etc. so, it’s essential to have an emergency fund set aside for when your car just needs an oil change but it ends up costing $200 for other problems you’ve been putting off, and/or you accidentally clog the drain/disposal with angel hair pasta for $369.
• I’ve seen Twilight/movie/twice. I’ll restrain from any opinions on it. All I know is I want the boxed set for Christmas and I’m now listening to podcasts about it on TwilightSource - the mugglecast peeps!! Also the soundtrack for the movie is haunting and addictive.
• I’m not sure why I feel the need to clean and vaccuum my house from top to bottom before I go out of town. It’s some weird OCD thing. 
• I have no idea what I’m going to get people for Christmas. I almost want to tell everyone they are all getting gift cards. LOL!
• Google picassa updated it’s desktop software, which I’m glad bout because I use it to organize all my originals and backup copies of photos, and it was getting really really clunky.
• I’m wide awake even though it’s 12:31 am and we are leaving at 7:00am tomorrow to drive to Maryland to be with Brian’s family for Thanksgiving! I’m so excited to see them all and have some good away-from-Erie time. 
• The cool thing about this trip is that we are combining the drive with some great friends which hopefully will make the trip go fast and more fun, and save resources and wear and tear and money. They will be continuing on to Myrtle Beach after leaving us in MD.

Happy thanksgiving people!!
