Exciting times are afoot at chez Amanda. In one hour I will leave work and have a glorious, much-deserved 9 day vacation. I have grand plans to bake, craft, read, and freebase cappuccinos.
I'm especially excited about the start of the holidays. Last year was so difficult for me. When I ditched ex-boyfriend I put myself in a financial bind and didn't have much money for Hope's Christmas gifts and the house felt empty and hollow. Of course Best Friend was there, but I got so depressed I didn't see the point in baking and decorating. This year I am so excited! Hope and I have crafts planned and Sunday we are decorating the Christmas tree.
Tonight I am going to buy the digital camera I've been saving for and then I can go back to my obsessive-mommy documenting of everything adorable Hope does. Expect next week gobs of photos of Hope, the cat, baking endeavors, current thread projects, and, perhaps, a glimpse of Inky Darcy.
I'm off to do my work duties for the next 45 minutes and then it is off to frolic for 9 days. And, yes, I totally intend to frolic my ass off.
What I'm doing: listening to Brazilian Girls and praying my new BUST magazine is at the house.
I'm about to: workish stuff
Later today: read, eat dinner, trudge to the coffee shop for more reading and some writing time. A large chai will gobs of whipped topping sounds particularly delightful right now.
