Just got back from the two-night adventure to Grand Forks. It was a definite success as I seemed to find something in almost every store we went in. Only thing I didn't find...a swimsuit...I guess the three year quest for a swimsuit will continue! Another highlite was playing Catch Phrase with my dad (he might be the worst player ever - but he tries hard). It's been a while since I've laughed that hard - his clues were probably worse than bad...but still funny!!
I also managed to cross a few things off my list. I went with my mom to see the movie P.S. I love you - and it was a great chick flick. I laughed and maybe even cried a little. The preview for The Bucket List also played - that's another sentimental movie that I want to see..made me think of my own list. I also made the trip to Happy Harry's with my dad. It was great. After 30 minutes of perusing the shelves the decisions were finally made. Not only did I get my apple schnapps...but I also got to pick two other bottles...sweet deal! Now I'm just waiting for New Years! About the list - don't think one week is enough to get everything done so I either have to be creative (like go skiing down a ditch) or I will extend the deadline till the end of Winter...we will see what happens.
Here's what surprised me most about this past week. I'm used to being by myself, doing things in a particular way and keeping things somewhat organized (some may say I'm way too set in my ways). Anyways...after almost a week at home - in close quarters with at least 2 other people - I have made the adjustments to make the week flow smoothly (no major altercations haha!) I still let some of a pecularities show through - but for the most part have been quite flexible. That being said, however, I am ready for my own space once again - and my own bed - I just need a semi to haul everything back! Tonight it's off to watch Cory play hockey (or at least attempt to play after a week of doing nothing but eating and maybe some beverage sipping) and then tomorrow I get to go back to my place! YAY back to routine!
Now it's time to really focus on the hockey game. Oh how enjoyable holidays can be!
