i'm cold. it should snow only on christmas. then again, i should watch what i wish for with the way global warming is going.
i did the 40% off thing at borders yesterday and was pumped when my purchase went from something like $130 to $80. as of now, i'm the only temporary holiday help that has been asked back for a permanent position. i'll be working in the cafe as of 2008. it'll be nice to know how to make lots of coffee and tea drinks. maybe i'll even feel all cool coffee girl-ish. i mean, they're always sweet, right? also, today our district manager was in and told us that the first person who sold a gift card would get a prize. oh yeah, i rocked that shit! and what was the prize? a crisp new $20 bill baby! i'm all for the free cash.
i must socialize now. i love my boyfriend and my kitties! the end.

i want to go shopping, but i'm broke
i'm so stressed and annoyed about how i'm going to get my teaching certificate that i'm giving up for today and writing this blog. i'd like to scream and hit something, but i've realized that might be a little extreme and i'd scare the cats.
for the first time in my life i'm enjoying a job...and it's retail. that makes it strange, but considering i'm working with books all day long, not so much. i don't get up in the morning saying to myself, "sweet, i work today," but while i'm there it isn't so bad. i'm excited for employee 40% off week. everyone is getting borders christmas presents, so i hope that's not a problem.
what's new? last saturday, matt and i went to scott and emily's place and played some games with them, along with matt nantais, nikki, ken, and bridgett. i got there in the middle of an intense jenga game which got to 32 stories (the limit is 36, so you get the level of crazy). ken finally toppled it, but it was really inevitable at that point. then we played this american idol karaoke game on playstation, which i loved cause i got to sing. scott kicked everyone's ass though because it was hard to stay on the exact pitch of the original artist. matt played a girl and sang falsetto. hilarious.
anna and i are friends again. i'm looking forward to reuniting and catching up. 4 months is a long time when you're used to knowing the usual going ons in someone's life. it's like one of the little negative blocks has been lifted off my shoulders and now it's something that doesn't have to bother me during PMS week.
it seems like gus is just constantly growing bigger every day. i thought he'd be a small kitty because he was the runt of the litter, but now that i'm noticing how big his paws are, i'm thinking i might have been wrong. he's totally hyperactive and does not understand the word "no" at all. he has an obsession with eating my hair when i lay down while purring insanely loud, so our new rule is no kitties allowed in the bedroom at sleep time. he's always tipping over my garbage can under my desk and playing with the contents, throwing pee balls out of the litter box, sticking his head in my cereal bowl, dive bombing every object in the apartment, and walking on my keyboard (which hairy has also taken a liking to, but he won't walk on the keys, just stand directly in my line of sight and rub up against my face). have i mentioned i love my kitties?
