Day 146 & 147 - Green Stripes and Black Toe Socks

Still sicky poo, but managed to get out of the house yesterday. Had to make a run to PetSmart to get the kitties more food. Also went to Reba's for a game night. It was a late night but pretty fun.

Today I decided to have myself a Toy Story marathon. They are short so I'm already near the end of Toy Story 2. They really are great movies! Not much else on today's agenda. Gotta type up a list for Elyse, watch the Oscars, and make a grocery list for next week. A big day for sure.

Day 140, 141, 142 & 143 - Jersey Socks

Took a trip to NJ to see Kim over President's weekend. When I got there we went bowling with the boys. I did pretty good, despite the bumpers messing up some of my spare pick ups. We also spent an afternoon at the spa. I had a really good massage. It was a combonation of an accupressure massage, hot stone-ish, and a swedish massage. Totally wonderful. Afterwards we headed to Bethlehem to hit up the Sands casino. Overall the weekend was ok. Would have been better if Kim's soon to be ex-husband didn't call every 30 minutes. I won $18 at the casino so that is something. And we had a yummy meal at Emeril's.

Day 117 - Mismatched Black

Not much to report for today.  My walk to the gym this morning was pretty treacherous.  The sidewalks are covered in a layer of ice. Tried to at least get the ice off my sidewalk cause there's more snow expected for tomorrow. 3 to 6 inches. Eww!! I don't really mind the snow, but I don't like having to shovel more than once a week. That's pushing it.

I swear every time Miles sees the camera he wants to get his picture taken. How could I resist? He's so cute! And Mia's back on her pillow in the background. She's been there for the majority of the day. Really being a cat mush be such a hard life..

Day 102 - Mismatched Stripes

Another pair from the mismatched box set I got in NYC. The pink sock I already wore once since they come in a set of 3. I still don't understand that.

Ever since New Year's Eve I have been staying up WAY past my bedtime. Last night I watched TV til after 1am. Been so caught up watching Oz that I completely missed the fact that new TV shows are back on. I thought we had to wait another full week for them to return. I wonder if there's a new Amazing Race this winter. I do love that show. And I wonder when the new season of Survivor starts.

Have another 5 books ready for pick up at the library. I love that you can request books online and if they are at any library in the NOBLE system they are there in a few days. It's awesome! I really hope once I get a job I can keep reading regularly. I always used to get caught up with TV and slack on book reading. So glad to have the time to do it now. The library really has been the best find of my 3 months of unemployment.

Day 61 and 62 - Black Mismatched and Gray LTD2

Two days worth of socks today.  Spent the last two days organizing my bedroom and putting my clothes in order. It just reconfirms to me that I have an obscene amount of socks. I had to get some new bins to put them in so I can actually access them all. I did manage to get rid of like 10 pairs. That's progress. :)

I also finished reading The Diary of Anne Frank. I also watched the movie from my Instant Netflix queue. I can't imagine being in hiding like they were. They spent over two years hiding from the Nazis in Holland, only to be found weeks after D-Day. Of the eight people hiding out in their "Secret Annexe" only one survived capture. I can't imagine living in that time or during any war taking place at home. So much destruction took place in Europe. It's amazing how it was rebuilt. I am glad to have that perspective. I think it will make Jen and I's European Adventure 2013 all the better. I definitely wanna add Anne Frank's hideaway to place to see on that journey.

Side Note....Getting more and more excited for Christmas. Also looking forward to seeing my family for Thanksgiving. Going to West Palm Beach for our mini vacation this year. Just got us dinner reservations for the three nights we are there. Latin, Thanksgiving Buffet, and Thai/Sushi. All sounds yummy to my tummy!! Only a few more days til I leave.

Day 60 - Mismatched Stripes

These are one of the socks in the sampler set I bought at the sock store NYC. Still not sure my thoughts on them though.

So today my plan is to sit, read, and catch up on my DVR. Nothing too exciting but totally needed. Simon hasn't been letting me sleep much at night. 4am has become his witching hour. The hour he pulls boxes out of my shelf, knocks the kleenex box off the nightstand to drag around, mysteriously pulls tape off sock drawers and pulls out socks, attacks Miles, pulls up my rugs, and generally makes more noise than an 11lb cat should be capable of making. I don't know how to make it stop!!!

Check out this cute picture of my kitties sitting on their tree this morning. So adorable.....

 

Day 54 - Mismatched Comfy Socks

Trying out the mismatched socks I bought in NYC. You will see one of them again when I wear the third sock. Still have had no good ideas on how to fold them.

No big plans for the day. Just packing for Jersey. I really don't know why I am such a slacker packer. Maybe cause I am so good at knowing what I want that I don't need to do it early. For a girl who loves to get away you'd think I'd have some more interest in it since it means time away from home.  Looking forward to the weekend. Heading to see Andrea on my way in tomorrow, then spending the rest of the weekend with Kim. We are heading into NY on Friday to see Elf on Broadway. That should be a fantastic good time. I can't wait!

The cats are all staring into the fireplace. Wonder if there's some kind of wildlife in there. I hope not. I don't want to deal with any creatures past the cats. Hopefully they can take care of it without me. They all look pretty intense.
