The One Where I Give You An Update

Hello Nobody!

Ok, I'm not sure if you haven't been reading because you're too busy or because I haven't been posting. If it's my fault, my sincerest apologies, I didn't even realize I hadn't posted in a couple of weeks. Oh the crazyness that is me.

Let's see...

I've started with the Big Sisters process. Attended the sessions and submitted my application/homework with references. And my three references have already submitted their written submission! I just have to get my criminal records check done (at Hastings and Main area!) and then have the screening interview. I feel like I'm halfway there...yay!

Oh yeah...I pretty much finished my Christmas shopping last night. I may have a few small things to pick up, but I have all of the big stuff, which is nice. It is only 1 month until Christmas!

And speaking of Christmas, I still need to book my flight. I've been looking at various travel days and airlines and it's getting scary!! I'm worried that there won't be any seat sales and/or the days I'd like will be sold out. Also tough is ensuring that I'll have a ride to the airport in T.O. Here it's not so bad, I can take a cab and it's not too expensive. But back home it's way far to the airport. Also I'm not sure if I should stay for New Years. I just don't want to end up spending it alone there. If I'm going to be alone I'd much rather be at my own place. So I've sent an email out to see who may be around to spend time with and/or provide me with some transportation to the airport. I'll keep my fingers crossed that someone will be around.

And in other news...it's snowing out! And it's actually sticking to the grass/vehicles. I tried to take a picture to prove it, but alas it's too dark out.

P.S. - I've upgraded my Blogger account and made some changes...what do ya think?!

UPDATE: I got a picture of the snow today..it's not as pretty as yesterday though. It's gotten slushy and gross now. Walking to the grocery store wasn't the driest walk ever!
