My First 2012

I can’t believe how often I don’t write anything, and how I don’t even remember here or think of it.

My last post was last year, so I didn’t even write about Valentine’s Day, and it was nice for me. My honey bought me another bead that goes on my expensive Pandora bracelet. And that is an expensive bracelet. It was a birthday present for me (December 20th) and altogether with the bracelet and additional beads, that bracelet cost about $800.

When I think of the craziness of that price I find it ridiculous. And other jewellery stores have come up with their versions of the Pandora. They’ve made them a bit cheaper, but also expensive so they can make like they’re just as good. So my Valentine’s Day bead on my bracelet was an additional $100, so I’ve got the most expensive piece of jewellery, other than the diamonds I’ve had, in my collection.

Because it cost that much for one bead, I thanked my sugar and decided that we didn’t need to go out on Valentine’s Day cuz I knew that would cost at least another $100 – I thought I’d save him some money.

Other than that, because we’ll be moving at the end of March, I’ve been going through stuff in our current apartment. The thing is… I haven’t packed anything. I keep pulling stuff out of cupboards, drawers, closets, and it’s just sitting out there. I’ve gotten stuff together and thrown it out, or given good stuff to Value Village, but I gotta get packing started so I don’t leave things to the last minute.

This is turning into a busy week with all kinds of appointments so mostly on those weeks I do nothing more than go into my Facebook, play a game, check people’s posts, and turn around to work on creating some jewellery.

If I’m not staying at home, I’m usually at some store somewhere buying something for the new place. The problem with that is, for example, I’ve bought curtains for one of the new bedrooms, including the curtain rod, and I haven’t taken any measurements of the new place window. So maybe those curtains and rod are not the right size *duh*. I’m hoping they are since I bought a nice style to go with stuff, but it’ll bug the shit out of me if I’ve had to go shopping and bought the wrong stuff.

Instead of shopping, I should start packing. My appointment today is a nice one – a dinner with an old friend this evening – so I have lots of time to go through more stuff, but let’s say I’m just gonna pack up all the stuff out of the bathroom cupboards. How ’bout I take all that stuff of the bathroom counter and pack it? That would be a good thing.

So there’s my recent lifestyle. Don’t know what’s going on with you guys, but I’d feel fine to hear about it :)

    Nice to hear from you! Are you moving close to where you live now or to a completely different neighbourhood?

    I’ve gotten a year older recently and at the beginning of this year I also went back to school, and I’m now trying to wrap up my University studies. That means writing a master’s thesis, which isn’t going very well… :) No motivation, no inspiration, no time, but I must push on. I also have two courses and some silly bureaucratical stuff to do.

    Other than that, nothing much. Playing Xbox all weekend-nights long (um, only after attempting to do something for the thesis of course).

  2. Good to hear from you Minna. We’re moving into the same neighbourhood, only a few blocks away.

    It’s good to hear how dedicated you are – and still playing games. Right now the only game I seem to play is a facebook game all the time (I deleted a bunch cuz I wondered why I was playing them).

    I know that going for your Masters is work, work, work, but I’m sure at some point you’ll get done with it, and be in a great spot for a great job. Good luck with all of it and thanks for visiting :)
