Confessions of a Shopaholic

Ok, not quite(referring to title). I wish I was shopping for myself! I'm all shopped out. But I still have one gift to buy for my mom, then all done. 3 days of intense shopping. It all started out on Monday. Went to Rockland(suburbs) with my friend Deb and had a very fun day. The mall is so pretty, especially the food court. You can eat by this modern fireplace, and sit in couches. All très chic. And it was my first time at H&M, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I was kinda psyching myself up to be disapointed, just so I didn't expect too much. But lots of great bargains and pretty clothes. I only bought three items for myself: a zip-up hoodie in black and grey, a new cute wool shirt and a plain scarf. All at great prices. Then I've been shopping downtown for the past two days. I'm all tired out.

Been spending a lot of time with Deb, which I haven't had the chance to do in ages. She moved to the other end of the city this summer, so we've been seeing a lot less of each other. I finally got to see her place and new cat. We chilled, watched a lot of Sex and the City, and caught up. Her cat is so cute, but I'd forgotten how much energy kittens have. My cats are older, lazy and fat. Like, real fat.

Talking about kittens, I was talking to my mom today and they got two new kittens! I'm so excited to see them. My mom was walking the dog when she found them outside, all cold in the snow. She couldn't just leave them! She's always taking in stray animals.

I'm getting excited to go back home. I haven't seen my parents in a while, and my sister in even longer! My friend who moved to France will be there as well. Too many people to see, so little time. But I think I've got my few days all planned out. I'll spend a bit of time with the boyfriend in Ottawa, then the familyin Aylmer until the 26th, then back to the boyfriend's for the night, then back to Aylmer until the 28th to spend time with friends. And back to Montreal by 7pm for work. Whew!

Alright, time for another joint and some Family Guy!

If I can Escape...

Hey all! Woo, done school! ALL DONE! Finished all my exams, my essays and my presentations. I'm so happy. And I think I've decided to go back in January. I hadn't decided yet. Seeing as I might be moving to Vancouver, and the credits I'm accumulating won't count towards the school I plan on attending, it seemed like it was somewhat a waste of time(and money). But who knows, I might count for something eventually. And just working is boring as hell, I've finally gone back to school, I shouldn't quit now. And my parents would be super disapointed if I quit school once again(not that they're paying or anything...lol). Anyways, even if I work I full time, I doubt I'll save much. I know myself! :P

Other that finishing school, nothing much has been going on. I've been a lazy mofo, staying in, watching way too much South Park and smoking way too much weed. Good thing is I still haven't started smoking cigarettes again. Woo! Over a month now. I'm quite proud of myself.

Omg, new addiction: HEROES! Fuck that show is great. I wasn't expecting to like it so much. I watched all 11 episodes in 2 days! (Yeah I know, I have way too much time off haha) It's so good. Got my roommate hooked too. My boyfriend kept saying how great it is, but I hardly trust his judgement, our tastes and opinions on what's "good" severely differ. But for once, he was right. But now I have to wait till Jan. 22 until they come up with new episodes. WTF?! I'm so pissed, I want new Heros NOW!

So Christmas is coming up...and I haven't done my shopping yet. I have 3 gifts done, which leaves me with... around 15. Haha. My roommates are having our own little Xmas here on the 24th. Some friends are coming over and so is my boyfriend, as we're doing a gift exchange(small gifts under $5 for everyone). Then I'm heading back home that night with the boyfriend and my friend Deb, and going to see the family. Unfortunately my man can't come along...makes me sad. His family are complete DOUCHES! So I'd really like to bring him to my family...but they haven't reached that point in acceptance...yet. So I don't know how much time I'll stay at home, I want to spend most of the time with him.

Alrighty, time to get ready for the hell hole(a.k.a. work). Laterz!
