I'll do this now just in case I don't get the chance later. Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2009 is wonderful for all of you, love yas!

294/365

Okay, I realize that I've been a little bit ridiculous lately, since I seem to be averaging a book a day. When I get obsessive about something I really can't be stopped! I just wish I could focus this energy onto other things..

293/365

Oh Chili's, how I love your Tropical Sunrise margaritas. I went out to dinner with my parents tonight, which was a nice break for my neck. I've been sitting in the same position for hours on end reading and its like my whole torso hurts. It's worth it though.

292/365

I was holding off on reading this, but as I got it for Christmas I figured the time was right to start! It's such a fast read that I'll be finished with it tomorrow without question. There are just some parts in it that make me go.. huh? Like, no one bothered to edit the entire book. As enthralling as it is, the crappy writing just sticks out like a sore thumb. Oh well. I intend to get the next book tomorrow before work so I won't miss a beat.

291/365

Little Big Planet just makes me happy. It's so cute and it seems like the developers thought of absolutely everything! Work was pretty much dead and I spent my time reading a new book (that which shall not be named) I got for Christmas.

290/365

I woke up from my food-coma at an ungodly 12:57 pm and was all, "OMG I slept straight through the day!" I didn't even bother to put in my contacts. Gotta love the day after Christmas! Eventually after a little cleaning, I set up my Mum's new Wii Fit! It's so excellent. Can't wait to learn some yoga moves!

289/365

Sorry Len, but this is my favorite picture of the day! He's saying something to the effect of, "Take the stupid picture already, I can't keep my face like this much longer!" I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas today! I did and I'm very appreciative of it all.

288/365

Luckily, this is not Lenny's family's home that we went to tonight, this was just on the way. It was a fun party despite our late arrival due to being lost and getting distracted. But MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! Love you all. 

287/365

I made a batch of these (not my picture!) tonight to give to Candy and Susan as gifts. They came out okay but for some pieces, the chocolate cleanly separated from the saltines. Whatevs. They will still taste good. I put them in cute little chinese food containers (not previously used!), cause they both really like chinese food and it will be funny to trick them sort of.

286/365

Thank you Michelle! This along with some silly Irish socks (I HAVE been known to recently wear some crazy socks. Often depicting different colored dachshunds. Or the ones with the horrible looking face that you stick your feet in the mouth -- I don't really want to talk about those though, they don't leave the house), so I am appreciative of them. We all met up at El Sarape and had some delicious mexican food for our little Christmas get together. Everyone will be parting ways soon this vacation, so every bit of time is important. Love yous!

285/365

Now that my classes are done, I feel like I can actually relax and breathe for a minute. I even started a new knitting project (a scarf of course, I can't do anything else yet)! It snowed even more today. I checked the handles on my car earlier and my doors are frozen shut. Should be fun getting open before work tomorrow. AND I found out today that I passed my Chemistry class! This is kind of a huge deal to me because it means that I actually satisfy all the requirements for Quincy College and I can apply and not waste more of my time fooling around. I am understandably IMMENSELY excited about this. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

284/365

Please note the "Eat Healthy, Low fat & cholesterol". You KNOW I couldn't miss pointing that out! So funny. Well today wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I opened the store on time and got everything ready for the rush of people who were SUPPOSED to be there. They were not. In the least. Susan showed up an hour late, Candy didn't even bother to come in. Susan left early and told me to close up whenever, so I did! I was able to make it to my test in plenty of time. I think I did alright on it, but I can't be sure. That's usually a sign that I didn't do so alright. Then Lenny came and we all went to Gourmet Oriental where I had an unusually strong mai tai to celebrate the semesters end.

283/365

Now I actually DID take this photo, as it's been awhile since I posted my own. As you should know by now, if you're not living under a rock (or are in another state) we are having a nasty snow storm which pretty much shut down everything. Which means that I have to take my final tomorrow. I am none too happy about it, except that I have more time to study. I stayed inside most of the day and was extraordinarily lazy. So maybe I'm not that angry about the snow.

282/365

Last minute shopping today! The problem is that there are many more things I want to get for people but my funds have run dry. Now I'm bracing myself for the big storm we're going to have tomorrow. I just know that my final is going to get postponed until Saturday. SO LAME, not to mention inconvenient. I just want it to be January already.

281/365

I'm rotting my brain with mindless celebrity gossip, rather than getting a good nights sleep. Two finals down, one to go on Friday. It's probably going to kill me.  

280/365

I just about finished all of my Christmas shopping today! Leonard and I spent lots of time at the Square One Mall. Now I'm just studying for two of my finals tomorrow. Eek! Also, I really doubt that I possess a short term memory. Just sayin'.

279/365

I'm nearly done with my shopping now! SO close. Not much else really happened. It was just one of those days.

278/365

Michelle's welcome home party included lots of food and silly movies. At Megan's house. A fun time was had by all. 

277/365

Welcome home Mishkeeeeell! Tonight after work, the four of us went to Chili's for dinner. Then to the Frog Pond (where I got BOWLED over by a big black cannon ball) to skate and such. Finally we went to the Fours in Quincy to get more drinks and have more fun. It was a good night. 

276/365

I was 2 hours late for my last day of classes today, cause the traffic was awful. I had two tests and I missed them both. Luckily for me, both of my teachers drop the lowest grade so it's not like it was overly important that I be there. I just wanted the extra grades. It will be another story entirely if I'm late for my 8:00 final next Wednesday. Then I may have to slap a bitch. Tonight I went to the 99 with Megan and Jon and Jon's friend Louie. I had a pomegranate martini that I'm still feeling.

275/365

I enjoy sleeping bags, what can I say? Leonard and I enjoyed the day inside cause it was so nasty out. But we did leave the house to go to the mall and then to get food at one point. So that was okay. It was depressing outside.

274/365

Elf will never get old to me! It's still hilarious. I need to go to bed early tonight cause I haven't been sleeping all that well. So off I go!

273/365

This is what it sounds like outside my window right now! Minus the palm trees of course. Last anatomy class today before finals. It was pretty awful and I'm so worried about the final next week. That's really all I have to report. Not much happening today.

272/365

I feel like I'm slowly regaining my creative touch again! I spent 8 hours straight working on something I haven't tried in a long time, but I've found that I'm actually pretty good at it and it's fairly easy. Since it took up so much of the day I just had to write about it, even though it's against my better judgement and a certain someone reading this will get suspicious! Well, now they definitely are.

271/365

First day of real, actual snow! It was a nice surprise and very pretty to see, but I'm really not happy about it. I don't like the cold very much. In other news, I owe Megan cowboy cookies.

270/365

I'll make you some cookies if you can tell me what movie this is from! SO good. I still get chills when I watch it. The store is getting busier now that Christmas is coming. Susan stays later (so annoying!) and she's getting more frantic in that she's taking more notice of things I'm either not doing or saying. Also very annoying.

269/365

A major crisis was averted tonight! I left my wallet at Friday's after we ate and I freaked out about it. When I called, the girl said that there were people already at the table we were sitting at and she couldn't ask to just look around to find my wallet, which is bullshit. Since when we showed up 10 minutes after we called, I walked up and told her I wanted my wallet, she called into her walkie-talkie (and giggled about me into it, which I could hear cause I'm not deaf) and the manager came right over with it like it was waiting there all along. I don't know what the hell her problem was, but I really should have bitched her out because of it. But I was still buzzed and feeling a little sick with worry over it, so I didn't. As a side note, Team Uncomfortable achieved its goal of making me uncomfortable, well done!

268/365

It was just one of the nicest days that I've had in a while. I miss my Leonard time and today was just what I needed. Bert's battery is brand spankin' new, as I brought him to NTB this afternoon. Then we drove all around the south shore to browse the stores. Now of course, I'm stalling the paper writing process, as per usual and it's getting pretty frustrating.

267/365

I'm going to have to trust them on this, but we made aspirin in my chemistry lab. Obviously I was not going to be the guinea pig for that, aside from the fact that it's not pure in the least. Bad idea! Also, Bert's battery died while I was getting lunch at Panera. AAA came and jumped me in enough time to get home and study for my lab practical/test (testicle?) at 7. I think I did better than I thought I did!

266/365

My mum really wants one of these, so I started my Christmas shopping with it. It looks pretty neat, but I'm doubting it's claims as it looks and feels like a regular glove. We shall see.

265/365

The pictures I took of the awesome moon with jupiter and venus (two planets basically, I'm just guessing) didn't come out as nice as I wanted so this one will have to do. Charlie has this weird bump on his side that was oozing a couple days ago, so we took him to the vet to see what it was. He just gave him antibiotics and sent us on our way. Then we went to Acapulcos (sans Charlie) where I had my second grilled chicken quesadilla and blue moonlight margarita in three days. So good.

264/365

El Sarape with the Morrison's is just so much fun. I went with Megan and Jon and we met them there for drinks at the bar. We were pretty much the only people there in the whole place aside from the three other people next to us. They were cool though. I shared some pico de gallo with them. Then it was off to watch my favorite grotesque medical shows on TLC! I'm so happy that others share my love for it.

263/365

Today work was mad busy! I didn't even get a chance to do any studying, which is highly unusual because I usually get lots of time by myself without being bothered. We went out to Friday's with Megan after our plans got changed and then spent the night at her house making fun of me and talking Starbucks-talk.

262/365

I was kind of in a rut today. Leftover turkey made me all tired and fidgety, but I was okay after I got to work. There were some angry customers that Susan was fighting with, so that piqued my interest. It's always a good time when customers fight back. Then Alex, Dan and I had a date night at Alcupoco's. We finished up the night decorating Alex's tree and watching clips of movies. It was so romantic.

261/365

I really wish I took more pictures of Thanksgiving this year, cause this doesn't do it justice. I lost count of the actual amount of people who were there, but I do know that at least 11 people were missing. I may or may not have exaggerated the number and said there are about 60 of us. It might be closer to 40. But I never know cause it seems like by each holiday we have a new kid in the family. I can't keep track anymore.

260/365

I was very very lazy today. I felt a little better, but not enough to move around and get anything done. So I watched The Life Aquatic, and Practical Magic and other movies that I can't seem to recall right now. We baked a pie for tomorrow and it smells pretty good! I don't usually like mincemeat pie, but I might be willing to try it. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

259/365

While I'm not that happy with the grade I got on my anatomy test, it really wasn't that bad. I just know that I have to step it up on the next one. I'm running out of next ones though, since it's the final. Thank GOD it's not cumulative. I would cry a little if it was.

258/365

Today was just a bad, bad day. Not much else I'd like to say about it really. Now if you'll excuse me, my cough meds are working rather well and it's my bedtime.

257/365

Well, all I can really say about today will end in complaint cause I was all congested and annoyed and dizzy. Good thing I have NyQuil and camomile! That's why I'm doing this so early, since I'm fading fast.

256/365

It seemed like an exceptionally long day today, I'm getting a little sick and it's turning into such a pain. I wake up all dizzy and congested in the morning and I cough and sniffle all day long. I hate being sick. It sucks so bad. I just took some NyQuil though, so that will knock me out tonight. This is from Not Your Average Joe's tonight, where we utilized Leonard's birthday coupon. Four months later. It was so good though.

255/365

I had a psych test today that I'm pretty sure I aced. You wouldn't believe the options she gives in multiple choice questions. Sometimes it's astounding how obvious she is. After work I helped Megan with another blue photo shoot. Who would have thought simple white rice could smell so bad?

254/365

I don't actually have any good pictures from today, so I figured a screen shot of Green Man would be appropriate given tonight was the season finale of It's Always Sunny. Mum stayed home from work today so that we could start our Christmas shopping early. We got a lot done, so that was excellent.

253/365

The plan was that I was going to go to bed early tonight, but Jon and Kate Plus 8 ruined everything. TLC ruins everything in general. I hate that they put my favorite types of shows on at night (namely families with too many kids or medical mystery) cause I stay up til an unreasonable hour and then I'm screwed up for a few days. By the way, tonight we studied cow eyeballs.

252/365

I had my anatomy test today, and while it sucked at the time, I actually think I did pretty well on it! Except for the arm and leg muscles. Those are SO so confusing. Oh well. I killed myself studying so I hope some good came from it.

251/365

It was a pretty good day. We trolled around the library and searched through many books, some more worthwhile than others as you can see. We even left ourselves a message for us to find in the future! I napped at home and studied for my test tomorrow, and then went to Megan's to help with a sweet photo shoot. It's very difficult to keep a straight face when your subject matter is supposed to be sad.

250/365

Another of my secret favorite things is to indulge in face care products. They're just the best. I especially like the kind that dries on your face and then you peel it off. SO good. Sorry this picture is so large, by the way. I didn't realize it would fill the whole window.

249/365

After work today, I met up with Miss Crystal at Chili's for dinner. It was so much fun to catch up with her, I forgot how easy it was to talk to her. I really wish she still worked with me. When I got home I caught up on all the sweet TV I missed and just relaxed. Oh, and discovered Rick Astley will be rick-rolling the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Awesome!!

248/365

My fortune cookie from Great Chow says, "When you expect your opponent to yield, you also should avoid hurting him." If that isn't a good example of Engrish, I don't know what is! The waiter told me I looked like I was 15 ( "No you 15!") when we ordered mai tais. Then, since it was so loud and he figured no one could hear anyways, my dad yelled racist things, as per usual when we go out anywhere in public. My mum got silly-drunk and was trying to poke at the piece of pineapple she dropped in her drink and going (over and over) "I'm fishin'. I'm fiiiishin'." They're a lot of fun sometimes.

247/365

I've been spending a little time on this site that's a little silly in concept. Rather than continue my studies for a test that I have no hope of passing, I figured I would read lists upon lists of things that I should be happy about. I think it makes total sense, or is at least entertaining.

246/365

Happy!Octopus is the ultimate cute. I thought it would a nice alternative to the picture I took with my phone of the sheep's brain I dissected tonight in class. Again, with the few readers I have, I fear I would have even less with such a shocking picture. It was pretty cool though and tiny, about the size of the palm of my hand. Sheep aren't known for their mental prowess after all.
