Today is grey and rainy outside and all I want to do is stay inside. But, I can't. I need to make a 45-min excursion back to IKEA. I bought a bed from them yesterday and then we found out at 10pm that there was a piece missing, so we couldn't sleep on our new bed. So frustrating!
Today is the perfect day to read a book and drink hot chocolate. After talking to friends and family (and seeing pictures of snowy landscapes on a friend's blog), I am actually missing snow. I put my Christmas decorations up yesterday and now I feel that I need a little cold weather to go along with it. I hope to get my fill of snow when we go back to Canada for Christmas.
I finally did it. I have been meaning to do something meaningful with my time and I have had good intentions to do some volunteering for the last few weeks (but it's taken some time to work up the courage). Yesterday, I finally went in to the hospital to drop off my application. I have applied to volunteer at a hospital that I would like to work at in the future. AND- they have a volunteer position that deals with educating cardiac patients. That would be perfect for me and help me make those all important connections with cardiology staff. I won't be starting until the end of January, but I would be thrilled if that worked out. Am I crazy for making myself spend more time in a hospital than I have already (and not get paid for it)?
December 1st- only 3 weeks until we fly home for Christmas! I've got some major shopping to do! Don't think that we are going to buy a Christmas tree this year. Does that seem Scrooge-like? I may just buy an artificial tree at the post-Christmas sales. That seems like the financially smart thing to do.

Marc and I have actually never bought a Christmas tree. I would like a real one if we were to get one and we always go home for a couple weeks and with no one to water it we have just gone without. I do miss one though! Marc used to veto them for financial reasons too! Scrooge!!! K
Oh NO! Marc just told me that I have further reinforced the Scroogish nature of not having a Christmas tree. You are not a scrooge if you don't have a tree. Marc is just scroogy in general but you are full of fun and Christmas spirit! ;) Kylie
Good cover Kylie. Smooooooth.
Hi Michaelia!!! I, unlike Kylie, don't think you're scroogy for not putting up a tree. Just put up some random tree branches and throw in some ribbon and a few festive candles in the mix. That's what we did.

Thanks Julie, I appreciate the support and the creative tree idea!
We don't want no stinken snow!!
