We had a house party, someone stole a painting off our wall- I think I posted on here about Sara and I doing the Urban Art Bar where you go and paint the same thing and drink and its fun? So we had both our paintings up in the hallway, and at some point in the night we noticed that one (mine) was missing. And it has never been recovered! We also thought someone took our bath mat, but it was just hidden.
We went to Salem this weekend, it was neat but SUPER packed. I bought some tarot cards to play around with. Sara and I brought stuff to change into to be in costume, but we never put them on. It was really cold and Sara left her red contacts at the apt, so neither of us wanted to change. We ended up at Teresa's friends apartment watching the Red Sox game.
I still have to take pics of the apt, I swear I will do that soon. I just want to do it when it's clean, and I always forget about it.
Work is going ok. I have this crippling fear of being fired, though I feel like I am getting results. Today for some reason everyone is ignoring me and it's pissing me off, but other times I have good days. I'm out of the hallway for now, back in the office I started in last year! Don't know how long it will last, but I'm glad- I can control the heat in here! I share with Megan which is good since we talk a lot anyway- now I can stay sitting in my chair, I just have to turn around.
I don't know how to control the heat in the house and it's bugging me. I'm constantly cold. The radiators go off randomly, but don't let enough heat in to make a difference. We need to call the landlord. We wrote a list of things to be fixed when we gave him our rent last month, and he sent a handyman to come fix some of them... but only some. He replaced the blinds in the living room, but we asked to get screens in windows where they are missing and... they are still missing. We can't open those windows because the cat will jump out. She already has once! Now it's getting colder so it's not 100% necessary, but still. Should have been fixed when he was out the first time.
Sara, Teresa, Elise and I joined a bar games league for the winter, it should be pretty fun. This week is cornhole, other activities include Battleship, Pictionary, Pub Trivia, etc. I'm excited, it will give us something to do on Tuesdays until next year.
I am in the middle of Sarena's Advocare challenge. The first 10 day cleanse part I was super disciplined and didn't cheat or anything at all- this second section I've already cheated :/ I had two beers Saturday night and Mac n Cheese (at least it wasn't Kraft though!). I'm being good again this week, so it prob won't be too detrimental.
Sara and I saw 12 Years A Slave last week, it was good. Sad, but really good. It will probably get a bunch of award nominations. This week I have passes to see About Time, the new Rachel McAdams movie.
I can't wait for Ender's Game, Catching Fire, or Thor 2- which all come out this month.
I've been thinking about starting NaNoWriMo this year. I signed up for it last year but didn't do anything, this year I actually want to try. Approx. 1600 words a day for 30 days= short novel. I might be able to do it, I just have to make sure to stay motivated.
