Holiday Wrap Up

It's Saturday night and the only time I've left my flat today is to get some groceries to last for the weekend.  


I arrived back in York on Thursday afternoon, after a long and mostly uneventful travel time.  

Scratch that.  There was some excitement.  One of the flight attendants asked me to move up a few rows and I did.  So he offered to buy me a drink.  You know, like a real drink.  I told him I was fine with my cran-apple juice (sidenote-i always always drink this on airplanes.  and never anywhere else).  He double checked, "Are you sure you don't want a glass of wine?" It was hard to turn down, but I did it.  I was also busy playing Angry Birds (i'm back on angry birds) so I really just wanted him to stop talking to me.  



So yeah, not exciting!


I had all intentions of going into work for a little bit after getting back.  I wasn't completely sleep deprived-I felt like I got a good few hours of sleep on the plane and train, but after I walked into my room my bed just looked too good to resist.  So I told myself I'd just take a short little nap!  

Seven hours later, my nap ended.  And there I was.  Wide awake.  At 11pm at night.  Oh goody!

I wasted time like a champ a few hours, then tried to sleep.  It did not come until close to 7 am.  By this time I almost just got up for the day, but...yeah right.  I told myself that I could sleep for awhile and then work at noon.  Easy peasy! 


And failure came again as I didn't get up until 1:30pm.  I put in a whole 2.5 hours at work this week.  Solid showing.


Anyways, that's what I've been doing since I've been back!  But today I did actually study and watch a whole disk of Seinfeld.  Just color me productive!

Oh right.  I was going to post about my Christmas break!  I went home!  You all know that!  


It was really fun.  So fun that I almost didn't want to come back.  

But then I told myself, I could finish this degree.

So that's what I'm doing.  

Update complete.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
