"Just the same old walkaways..."

So, life suddenly got bigger than this blog...which sounds almost too exciting...but really isn't. Life has switched rapidly from autumn (lazy sweater days, eating pumpkin pie) to winter (social obligations and financial stress). In between those two I visited NYC and my bestest friend, who moved there which was awesome and sad and way too brief. It's odd trying to have friendships as I grow older it seems to get harder and harder. Suddenly there doesn't seem to be enough time or enough of me to constantly keep the engine of BFF'dom going....

Thanksgiving was, I shit you not, the most delicious meal I've ever had. The boy I heart did some out of hand cookery, along with my next door neighbor. We ate and drank and the dog came over and visited and didn't tear apart my apartment. It was major!
the boy I love is moving/moved and it was quite the undertaking...An undertaking that he handled wonderfully.

I feel as though I'm suddenly boring but that can't really be the case, right? Maybe it's just that I've become one of those people who works and goes to the gym and goes home (yeah, that's right, the gym where I have been busting my cookies - a phrase I heart!- because all of my winter clothes are suddenly waaaaay too tight). Or maybe it's just this time of year - it gets dark at 4 and I'm not biking that much and so I have no hilarious "almost got doored by a car" stories...I feel vanilla, I feel boring and part of me is content with that which is scary.

To break up the monotony of me griping in an existential manner I give you this - a list of stuff I'm jazzed about:

1. Rice Pudding! - Mock not! Rice pudding has become an essential part of my day. Such as, come in check e-mail, have a cup of coffee, do whatnot and sundry and at around 11AM have a rice pudding break... It's like cottage cheese but way better! I don't know why I love it but I do!

2. Thanksgiving - Always a YAY! Yummy food, funny friends, plus my favorite dog in the world around made this Thanksgiving awesometown USA!

3. Project Runway - This season is still kinda "meh" for me = too many guest stars, projects are kind of blah. But I heart the Project Runway (just like everyone else) and I'm so glad it's back.

4. Holiday Times - And it begins the endless search for the perfect presents, the cold wind in the face, the winter and holiday times are here! HOORAH! I heart the hustle and bustle and the gifties - especially giving gifties! YAY!
