Ahhhh... the Weekend is Here...

And this is the first one where I refuse to super-schedule ANYTHING! Instead, I'm sitting here catching up on the Nigella Holiday special, The Girls Next Door (rather funny to watch sometimes) and The Devil Wears Prada soon to be playing on the DVD player. Tomorrow, I'll be doing some holiday shopping for people out of town and work (not a whole heck of a lot) and getting some supplies for the holiday festivities upcoming. Plus - I'm dyin' to check out Pier1 and their sale. If you spend $50.00, you get loyalty bucks to use in January. C'mon now - like that's hard to do in Pier1. They have some gorgeous teal items that will go with the lamp and the bowl for the new living room and, once I'm in the new place, I know I'm going to need a few odds and ends.

Also, with the holiday next week, I figured I'd take some time and start to attack that monstrosity of a closet I have to prep for the move. Roomie keeps joking that I'm entirely too calm with the move fast approaching, but seriously - why stress out. I'll pack up my stuff and get it ready, the movers will come in and woosh - it's in the new place and I'm off on a business trip and when I get back, let the unpacking and settling in commence. I'm moreso excited rather than nervous. After that, I'll be replenishing the emergency fund, attacking the credit card monster and just getting the finances in order.

My father is flying in next week for the holidays and one of the excursions I have planned is for him to go take a look at the apartment I have my eye on. I'd comment more, but trust me - when all is signed on the dotted line, y'all will be quite pleased. The tree is also going up this weekend. With the onslaught of blue/teal ornaments at Target and the new "shoe ornaments" that are at every turn, I'm having a blast. My tree will have more ornaments than tree space at this rate so I'm going to have to slow it down a bit.

In other news, work has been good. We're starting to get into the holiday spirit and, after much decorating of the cubicles, a bit of a Secret Santa party and a looming gingerbread contest upcoming, much fun should commence. I've also got a couple of vacation days I have to use before the end of the year so that will provide some much needed packing/sorting/cleaning time. Come January 2 - it's on and poppin'...
