Hey everybody! Long time no Post! Seems like the last post I wrote was
on November 30th. The holidays for me has always been crazy. Work,
family, and traveling always get in the way. Though I always have time
to squeeze in a Blythe meet, or a quick nosh with a friend or two.
On Holiday Stuff: The shopping downtown
has seem fairly sad. Besides decoration going up before Thanksgiving,
the stores haven't been as
busy as usual. The deals on items are yet to be seen, and the options
for holiday
things have been boring. We have made most of our holiday shopping
online. It's fast, easy, and no wrapping involved.
Kyle and I usually have holiday parties with
his work. Recently we went to his previous jobs get together as well as
his current jobs holiday party. Both were as expected, yet on different
levels. The one from his previous job was held in an intimate setting at Medjool
on Mission St. It's generally a Mediterranean restaurant with lots of
Tapas. We met some old and new faces. We had a lovely time eating, chatting, and playing the usual usual White Elephant
game. It was sad to see everyone go, but there is always another time.
Kyle's current job party was held at a larger space around South of Market. There was food, drinks, music, and about 100 other people. It is a small company but not as small as the previous job. The people here are very young. Very, very young. So young that they danced to Lady Gaga, and could handle talking over loud music. I felt so very old. I know I'm not that old, but when all you want to do is sit and talk to your friends. When you find that fun.. you feel old. haha. It was fun none-the-less.
This XMAS we are spending time with Kyle's family in Ohio. It isn't as fancy as San Francisco, but it is always nice to see his side of the family. Everything moves at a quieter pace. I'll get some reading and relaxing done. Which is always needed when you have spent your whole life in a busy city. *phew*
The New Year is approaching fast. Faster than I'd like but I hope the
next year will bring us a new apartment, a new job for me, and other
opportunities. It will also be the year I turn 30. Woo! People,
including my sister and my best friend, stress that I will start
feeling depressed. I don't feel depressed about my age. I feel like I
still have tons of things to do and my age has nothing to do with that.
I actually have not felt young since I was 23/24. I've been through a lot
in my younger years, so these years are for me to grow and just
continue on finding new ventures to pursue.
My new years resolution will involve letting go. I have the issue of
just not letting go of things. I get very worked up on little issues. I
hope-hope-hope that when something comes up I am able to just handle
the issue and move on. Indeed!
Now on to fun things! I have a wonderful Blythe meet this Saturday. As most of you know I collect Blythe. Yes. I collect dolls. Most importantly I have fun with a group of people who collect these dolls as well. We have gatherings were we eat, chat, and we exchange tips and tricks on how to customize these dolls. The nicest part about this meet is we will be together in a friends event space. It will have a schmancy eating, sitting area and a real kitchen. I hope all goes well! XD
I also just finished writing all my holidays cards and mailed every gift. Well except for one to my friend BEC. She lives in Australia and I always collect things through the year for her. I hope to get it mailed out before the New Year.
Anywho, I hope you all have a very merry holiday as well as a Happy New Year.
Thanks for reading! XOXO
