Stressed for the Holidays and not for the usual reasons. I stopped buying Christmas gifts for people about 3 years ago and was even able to get out of my family "random names" exchange this year. This is my way of sayinh "fuck you" to Wall Mart and the rest of the multinational corporations dependent on consumer whoredom.
6 more days of work and I'm off until 2010. I'm hoping I have the motivation to use some of this time to indulge in some much needed photography activity but this also depends on our beautiful weather. I also need a "photography buddy" and my homegirl that would otherwise fill this spot will be in San Diego this season.
I have been taking Spanish classes, which is awesome. I even bought a translation dictionary, only to lose it two weeks later. I do not lose things, especially large books, so this was strange.
Planning a Costa Rica trip for early next year, which means no extra money, especially since I lose a roommate at the end of this month. Anyone need a place to live in the north suburbs?
The above is also why I won't be doing my annual Santa Fe road trip for xmas this year. Too bad since my best friend is in town from Oregon.
Work is absolutely crazy, working 10-12 hour days and burning my self out, not good for the health either. Compensating with more homemade organic meals.
All said and done, life is good.
