Good weekend, albeit short

Despite almost not getting a drive home, I eventually found someone going but not my ideal ride. I'd describe it more as a flight home rather than a drive but all went without a hitch so its all good.

This week had its share of ups and downs but there was also a xmas party involved. Oulton students everywhere congregated at the Hotel Beau in various degrees of mental acuity to enjoy a formal dance and cash bar. A good time was had by all, even some instructors.

Fast forward to Saturday night and I was at Allan's xmas party. What on Earth (WOE) are a good group of people and there was no shortage of talk, dance and wine. Its so nice to have a child who is old enough to stay home by himself for a few hours while the parents go out. I dread the day when we have to repay the favor.

Back now for one more week. Heavy week too as we plough through two tests and a final. I actually started some xmas shopping today. I think Adrian is going to have a clothing christmas. I bought several choice pieces at Sears and also the Children's Place. In a couple more years he will be outgrown the Children's Place but until then I'm going to keep looking for good clothes at decent prices.

Next on the agenda is to buy two carry on luggage bags so we don't have to pay a hefty fee at the airport for checked luggage. Shorts and bathing suits don't take up that much room so carry-on is all we really need.

I can hardly believe its only two more weeks until holiday break. Looking forward to my open house on the 24th. Put us on your list of things to do that day! The Christmas cheer and goodies are abundant. Don't forget the best part... real eggnog! Not the crap they pass for eggnog at the store. This is the real thing batman.

Signing off now. My obicularis oculii are getting heavy.

Panic

I was afraid this day would come. Its the day when I realize I have no drive home for the weekend and a snot of a husband who is too lazy to come up here.

Hopefully something will change in the next couple of days. As if going to the school dance alone isn't bad enough.

If anyone else finds themselves in the situation of studying away from home, don't listen to anyone who claims that Oh yeah they will visit you for sure, because they're not telling the truth.

T Minus Three Weeks and Counting

Yes I'm counting down the days now until Christmas break. Now that December is here its a little easier to see the Christmas break in the distance. 3 weeks does not sound that bad at all. There is still so much to do until then. At least exams are not on the list. They save that until the last week of January.
I still plan to have our Annual Open House on Christmas Eve, even though I come home only one day prior. I'm trying to find time to bake and prepare in between Christmas parties and Theater visits. Speaking of which, Treasure Island was a bit hit. I'm sure Christmas at the Playhouse will be just as good. This time we are going to an afternoon showing. As I recall one other year, we had a Christmas party and the Playhouse both on the same night. This way is so much better.
This Christmas will be especially nice because we are going to Florida. We drive to Bangor on Boxing Day and fly to Florida on Dec. 27.  I have never been to Florida but my parents travel every year and Forida has been on their list a couple of times. They are flying us down and taking us to Disney World. My son is beside himself with excitement and I'm a little excited too since I've never been there. I feel like all my friends have been to Disney World and they think I'm weird because I've never been there. Well not any more. I'd like to get to a point where we can go somewhere every year. Preferrably some place warm in the middle of the winter.
So back to the books. Does anyone want to know all about the muscles of mastication? Didn't think so.
