Never Settle For The Path Of Least Resistance

In a bit over three hours, Star and I will be boarding a plane and flying to Bermuda. We return late the evening of the 7th. I'm nervous, I won't lie, but excited. I'm not sure what the hell we were thinking when we came up with this plan but I suspect that it had a lot to do with, "Oooh, hot capoeiristas!" Or something equally intellectual.

And since I have just a few more minutes for the Crazy Monkey Ninja and Bunny arrive to drive us out to the airport, some things that have been happening in my life for you to ponder and me to elaborate on later...

8 1/2 Things, In Brief - a list by Pixie
1. I did not fail any of my midterms. And I got an A- on my first English paper. Yay for still having a brain!
2. There may or may not be a boy. Well, I mean there /is/ a boy, whether or not there is a something there remains to be seen. But it makes me smile and smiling is good.
3. Re-did my hair again today. It has been my experience that redheads have more fun - this bodes well for my trip.
4. My very favourite Trixie is coming to spend our layover in Toronto with us on Tuesday and I cannot wait to see her! Now, if I can just figure out a way to kidnap her and bring her back to Alberta with me...
5. Work has been alternatingly stressful, frustrating and boring as all hell. I've decided that I object to having to organize Christmas books in October but I had a lot of fun putting in the big toy orders for the holidays. Mmmm, new fuzzy puppets to play with. Did I mention that Folkmanis is coming out with an emu finger puppet? Life occasionally rocks.
6. On a less positive note, with four blankets on my bed I am still waking up freezing every single morning. It's the big thing I miss about having a long-term relationship - there was always a built in heater with my bed. Sleeping alone sucks on so many different levels.
7. I actually have people I talk to in all of my classes and don't feel completely isolated and alone on campus most of the time.
8. I got to spend Baby D's birthday curled up on the couch with him, watching Battlestar and eating ice cream. Well, I ate ice cream, he ate formula, but it was all very sweet and soft and cuddly. I love my boo...
and a 1/2. Two words: Red lingerie. Let's just say I somehow ended up getting a birthday present for Raven's birthday. But really, I think we can safely say that /everyone/ got a present that night.

And I'm out of time. Away I go. See you all in a week!!
