Blog continuation...

I've finally got around to it... Volume 2 can be found HERE... or in the sidebar... :)

OMG... Jay and I bought something off the Shopping Channel...

It was their Black Friday blockbuster special. It'll be here in 10-14 days... hope I still love it once I get my hands on it, as much as I did while we were watching the two people talking about it and playing with it...

Truth I know...

math isn't numbers... it's Greek... I'm serious the whole freaking alphabet... I believe 0,1,2 were retained simply because they've run out of Greek letters...

sooooo....

midterms are over... well almost... last one this Monday... and then I have a few days of calmness before I start to panic over finals... so I've decided to continue with my little obscure, random blog...

THE END?

It appears there is just so many pictures you can post for free. Just because blogger merged with Gmail, doesn't mean you get your Gmail space.... and that's just too bad. So I've run out of space. Anymore will cost me money. I'm contemplating ending my posting days, vs, paying, vs, setting up a brand new blog, which will be continuation of the first.... It'll be a few days before I make up my mind...

I finally met Miss Cuteness...

sleeping when we arrived... love her little outfits...I'm sensing she was getting annoyed with me and my camera :)
look at those itsy bitsy little feet...

fall colors...

my giant apple pie...
cookies by Mike's mom...
biscotti... I only got like four... too bad because they were very good...
and cheesecake topped with brandy cranberry sauce by Kinga... I love cheesecake...

it was all so amazingly good... I think it safe to say I've gained at least 5lbs over this delicious weekend... now I have to hit the gym and loose it before the Christmas feast :)

it seems I form habits/addictions very easily

because it took me only a couple of weeks to develop a need for a coffee at around 4pm. Without it, I become drowsy, tired, and irritable. Today, I'm at Sobey's feeling the need, I don't fight it, I head over to their coffee section to satisfy it.

Clerk: "What can I get you?"

Me: "Large coffee please."

Clerk: "That'll be $1.42."

I pay, get my change. He turns around; stands there for a couple of seconds, turns back again and faces me.

Clerk: "I'm sorry, what did you order?"

Me: "Large coffee."

Clerk: "Large coffee?"

Me: "Yes."

He grabs a medium cup, shakes his head, drops it, it falls on the ground, he bends down to pick it up, but halfway there changes his mind, straightens up, his hand goes for the extra large cup, he glances at me, I shake my head, he looks at the cups and his hand finally navigates the the large cup stack, two of them come off the stack stuck together, he looks at them confused, decides to separate them, then has a hard time slipping a sleeve on it, as he's pouring my coffee another customer asks him a question, I see him panic, his hand holding my cup starts to shake, he presses the button on the coffee thermos harder as if that will speed it up, pouring done, his shaky hand places the cup in front of me, as his body is already turned around to help the other customer. There is at least 1.5 inches of space form the rim of my cup to the beginning of my coffee... I sigh... decide to make up the difference with lots of milk... I need my calcium anyways...
