For once, this will be SHORT! (sort of...)

Heyyyyyyy.

I felt it was time for a new, non cooking related post, and I could make it either long or short. I think I know which one you'll prefer.

So, here's life in a super nutshell:

The New:
*The job sitch didn't pan out so much. I felt temporarily like a major failboat, then decided that maybe I shouldn't bother with retail anymore, because it just makes me miserable. So, moving on to a new direction in life and going back to school! A lot of my past week has been spent organizing the details of this new "life plan"
*Also, I'm apartment hunting this week. It's time for a new start, and I'm paying way too much right now. Sooo excited for that.

The Crummy:
*The weather was bad for Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to see my cousins. Booo.
*The service engine light is on in my car. My car has already needed major repairs THREE TIMES this year. Mclame.
*I killed my knee at the gym. Just cooling down after a run, and all of a sudden PAIN. Seems to be ok now, but had to do the elliptical for my entire workout yesterday. Not a fan.
*I have started to realize some people's true colors, and I'm doing my best to cut them out of my life. I hate letting go, and this is a difficult process, but I know it's for the best.

The Super!:
*Black Friday shopping! It was a productive adventure!
*Fb bonding with S, sparkling Perkins with L, and chicken+potatoes with R. Again, keeping the good, out with the bad.
*Knitting! Haven't felt like cooking, but needed to do something domestic!

The Surreal:
*That chemical in the turkey that makes you sleepy turned me into a moody mess on Thanksgiving. So weird, and so eeeeeeeemo.
*You didn't think you would get a post without some music now, did you? Heard the full 10 minute version of This Time Imperfect by AFI today. After 6 years, I've given up on trying to figure out what this song is about, but it's beautiful, and surreal, and haunting. Just listen. Like a Spill Canvas song, hearing this brought back a rush of emotions and memories, especially driving around the backroads of Duluth with my arms out the sunroof and a million stars above, happy to be alive and in love. One of the most perfect nights of my life. :) If a picture is worth a thousand words, I think some songs can be worth a million.

There was my attempt at trying to be less verbose. Oops. Better luck next time! Although maybe not, because I definitely have more that I want to write about!!! Hope that you're all surviving the cold and snow and getting into the holiday spirit!
