I have started listening to Christmas music as much as possible. Some of you may feel that it is too early for such a pastime and to you I say, "Bah Humbug!" I absolutely love Christmas music and would listen to it all year long if I had the notion, however it is special because it only comes about for a couple of months every year and I will limit my listening time to those couple of months...plus I might not love it as much if I listened to it all year long. However, a little bit of Bing and Frank brightens my day! (If you don't know who I'm referring to then I will be more than happy to introduce you to them!)
Work is going well, it's pretty much the same thing every day but I am grateful for my job and the people I work with are rather pleasant. We had a fire drill this past week which was interesting, I felt like I was in HS all over again filing down the stairs in an orderly fashion. At least we only had to go down a few floors and it broke up the normal monotony of the day. I waited for ECobb to get done with work last night because she was working late and I felt it would be safer for her to have someone to ride home with. So I hung out at Borders, bought my sister her Christmas present and then went and spent the rest of my time at Argo Tea. Those of you reading this not from Chicago will not know what that is unless you've had the pleasure of visiting Chicago since they currently only exist in this city. So if you come and visit me perhaps I will take you there! Anyway, we got on our bus and found a knife/switchblade thing that was longer than my hand so probably around 6 inches or so...it was a pretty big knife. Freaked us both out a bit and so I took it to the bus driver because I didn't feel it was safe to leave it laying in the seat by us. Especially since a couple of creepy guys got on the bus shortly after and sat by us, Cobb was grateful that I had stayed to ride home with her.
I am going to be a hair model. ECobb was getting her hair cut on Tuesday because it was her day off and so I went to meet her after I was off work because we were going out for a friend's early birthday celebration. Anyway, I was sitting and waiting and one of the stylists came over and started talking to me and asked if I would be interested in being a model for one of their classes for their students, apparently they need people with naturally curly hair and she said I have really great hair, so I figured why not? It could be fun!
Our kittens are getting bigger, here is a picture of them sleeping by my head:
They are pretty adorable. We bought them some toys and a scratching post today, early Christmas present. We also got a tree stand for our Christmas tree, whenever we get that. Perhaps on Sunday? Cobb and I also our official Illinois residents! We went and got our driver's licenses today and passed with flying colors. We only had to do the written of course since we already both had driver's licenses from our home states. I am pretty excited about it because it means that I am now completely official to live here, yay!
It snowed for the very first time this past weekend. Beautiful big flakes just sort of floating down out of the sky, my favorite kind of snow. I went outside and just stood there because I was so excited...that was short-lived since I wasn't wearing a coat but it was worth it. Winter is fantastic! :-)
I have exciting things that will be happening this weekend so I will write about them probably later, but that's all for now!
