Wow Halifax got dumped on last night big time! I came home, and was totally exhusted, so I decided to take an hour nap but it ended up being about 2.5 hours! I have to stop doing that...it happens everyyytime.
Anyways, woke up, called some people but no one was doing anything due to the pending weather....so what do i do? I decided to cook a big bacth of homemade macronni and cheese! haha...it turned out okay. I went and bought a bunch of cooking/baking stuff at sobeys. I hate lugging heavy groceries up that freakin hill! it suckkks....which is yet another reson why I miss living with John, because we would go together and 4 hands is certainly better then 2.
Anyways, I'm at work now till 8....the day went by decently fast. Walking to work today was kinda hellish due to all the snow and the fact that...pretty much there were no sidewalks!! Argh...anyways I made it, and hopefully the walk home won't be as bad.
Winter is never4 my season. Maybe its S.A.D...or maybe its the fact that things always go wrong in my life near the end of the year. I don't even kmnow...its just a weird season for me. Even Christmas...as much as I love it, I miss how Christmas used to be. It seems the past couple of years Christmas has not felt like Christmas. I miss the days of going sledding everynight, going coroling (as lame as that sounds, i did do it in junior high!) and going ski doing with dad and going for winter walks in the woods. Maybe thats why its not the same. Because I don't live at home anymore.
This being said...here are the things I love about this time of year:
- The way the air "wakes you up" when you walk outside. Even if its not overlly cold, the air is crisp and sharp in the winter
- The sound of walking in the snow
- Hot chocolate just tastes better in winter even though its really a all year round drink
- Holiday coffee cups...it just gets you in the mood, even if you don't wanna be. Starbucks and tims have them out now. and they make me happy for some lame reson.
- Misty Mints...they are the best!
- Shopping is pretty much an obligation...which means you can pick up some things for yourself along the way
- Parties!
- The smell of gasoline....why yuou ask? back home when me and dad would go out on the ski-doo i would always coem indise REAKING of ski do gas. Its strange I know, but everytime I smell it in the winter, I think about that.
- The feeling you have when your cozy under your blankets and its cold outside. I even like to purposely turn down my heat or turn on my fan, even in the winter, so I can get warm under the blankets. I sleep best in a cool room.
-The smell of pine...and mint! like my minty lip stuff from La Senza...its Christmas on your lips!
-Christmas lights in moderation....i think the simply decorated houses look the best.
-Smell of apple cider/cinnomin...hmmm!
-Shortbreads and my moms fruit cake....yummmmm
Well...back to making some sales kits and overseeing this event till 8ish. Little over 2 hours left!
