elizalavelle: (Edward Eager books)
One more day left until yet another long weekend :) I love having the vacation time but I'd also love to have the quiet time. This also throws my routine for work so I'm all out of sorts until I'm back in a regular routine.

A note to my roommate's cat. You're cuteness decreases by approximately 87% when you wake me up 25 minutes before my alarm goes off (this is 5:50 am) by purring beside my head and poking me in the head. Not my most favourite thing ever. Probably not his favourite thing ever now either as this results in him being pushed off of the bed.

Oh and a friend at work told me that WalMart was having a massive DVD sale (box sets 2 for $30!) so I went to check that one out by the WalMart nearest to me didn't have anything good really. I picked up The Craft and Center Stage both on sale though because those will be fun :) I was going to watch Center Stage tonight but it got too late, perhaps tomorrow night when I can stay up as late as I want to :)

Then I decided to walk up the road a bit to Chapters to spend my giftcard :) I bought Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris. I'm curious to read it before the movie is out and I have a soft spot for the Hannibal character... I also spent almost an hour wandering the store. One of the things I discovered to my absolute delight was that Five Little Peppers and How They Grew has been rereleased! I love that book, it was one of the dear dear ones from my childhood that I've read and reread over and over. I wonder if this means they'll put out the rest of the series? I had a moment of rapture when I saw that book was still around for kids to read :)

I'm actually almost through Little Women :) However I'm almost to the point where I cannot safely read it in transit (Beth) so I think I shall leave that one at home tomorrow and choose something else for the bus ride.

And on that bookish note I'm off to bed :)

Christmas has crept up on me. I only have a wee bit of shopping left to do but the season itself has really been evading me so far. I was all seasonal when I did most of my gift shopping but now I'm just back to regular again. Mostly happy but not really feeling Christmassy yet. Perhaps it's the SPRING weather...

Also, I realized that I've forgotten (once again) to plan for New Years. So if anyone is having a party or wants to offer to be my midnight kiss let me know ;)

I am determined to enjoy my holiday time though, and to relax while I can as last weekend was my vacation which was so not relaxing. Much fun, no relaxing. I actually finally took a nap today after work and now FINALLY feel ready to crash. That only took me what, a week to come down from whatever high I was on ;)

I've started re-reading Little Women for the umpteenth time (seriously I've been reading this book over and over since I was maybe 8 or 9) I'm on my second copy of Little Women but it's falling apart now :( I'm putting off buying a new one just because I really want a nice complete set of Louisa May Alcott books... but I think I may have to cave and pick up another copy to see me through until then.

Oh and if anyone I know on my flist has Rogers Home Phone instead of Bell (or any other ones) they just introduced FREE long distance calling between Rogers customers in Canada, so let me know and I can call you. That's pretty sweet :)
