    Just One of Those Days*

    Today was one of those days. You know, one of those days when nothing absolutely terrible happens, but nothing good happens either. It started off by my not sleeping well at all last night. I was stressing a little bit about résumés and jobs and the future a little bit, and it resulted in my not being able to fall asleep until 2:30am. When I fell asleep it was lovely… until it was rudely disturbed by my alarm at 6:45 screaming at me to get out of bed. I was absolutely exhausted this morning, but I made myself look all pretty and professional as today was “School Board Day” at…

    Winter is Not My Friend*

    I do not like winter. There are certain aspects of the winter months that I enjoy, such as the way snowflakes looks in streetlights when it snows at night, or the way the air feels right before the very first snowfall, but on a whole I have decided that winter is not my friend. The past few days in Senior’s City have been brutally cold. It was a chilly -26°C here yesterday, which translates into -14°F or so for anyone south of the Canadian border. To give you a visual, my hair and eyelashes froze on the 5 minute walk across campus yesterday morning… I’m talkin‘ icicles in the hair…

    The Growler*

    The Hubster is a huge Clint Eastwood fan… and I am slowly converting. He loves all of his westerns because he is SUCH an intense cowboy. We recently saw his latest film, Gran Torino, and despite the language, I loved it. I think it was supposed to be a serious film, but it was SO FUNNY! He just growls through the entire film!! To give you an idea, watch the following movie. If you love Clint, you’ll love this. It’s the perfect combination of the “Clint Squint” (his trademark facial expression) and his growl: Clint Eastwood in The Growler – watch more funny videos Shop Girl*

    Insert Clint Eastwood Grunt Here*

    Oooh I’m right down to the wire tonight–I almost missed my daily post!! That’s because I have had an insanely busy, but awesome day. I’ll be honest, when I woke up this morning I was so not looking forward to today. I loathe having class on Fridays. However, I dragged my tired body out of bed at 7am and was out the door by 9am and headed off to school. The only upside of having class on Fridays is that I get to see my wonderful teacher friends, whom I love love love. I seriously have met amazing people this year, and they make the stress of this year bearable!!…
