Hello out there! Ugh, for realz I would be shocked to discover any remaining followers after my months-long hiatus. Trying to fill you in on what's been going on since my last entry would not only be impossible, but also super uninteresting (zzzzz). So, in the interest of keeping my 3 probably only remaining readers (my sister & 2 besties), I'll save the boring yip yap & attempt a witty & cheeky recap.
Halloween party was great...pix went up on FB for all of you on the interGoogle. Since Halloween, things have been ultra busy in the Batch household, as I'm sure they've been in yours. T-day was great & so was the long weekend that accompanied it. Per usue, I went to shop it up on Black Friday & came home with lots of great gifts for others, and an even greater gift to myself: new couches! They were delivered last Saturday & look fantastic. Of course, with new couches, I couldn't possibly continue life with our current tables, so last Saturday was spent at Pier 1 picking out new ones. Now my living room looks all fresh & new just in time for the holidays! ;)
And, speaking of the holidays, can I just say...I.Can't.Wait. This Friday is the loving husband's annual company Christmas party. It will be at Gibson's on Rush again this year & we'll stay the night to party it up and then shop the Saturday after. I walked over to the Macy's at Water Tower on lunch one day last week & snagged a beaut of a dress for the occasion, though I'm not 100% about it so I may run again one night this week. Then, on Saturday night, we have my "aunt & uncle's" annual Christmas party. Next weekend is my company party at the Mid America Club, and then Saturday I am really hoping we can go to the Christkindlmarkt at Daley plaza. Even though I can totes walk there at lunch, I want me a hot tottie, and that would not be conducive to work-time productivity ;)
Speaking of ChristKindl, I hope you all had a fruitful St. Nikolaus morning and received lots of goodies. I certainly did and, because I was such a good girl, missed the the Rute from mean ol' Ruprecht. Grrrr <:{
Besides the usual Christmas festivities, life is just as crazy as always. Work has been CRAZY! While I can definitely say I love, love, love my job 98% of the time, the remaining 2% is questionable. When things get ultra stressful and difficult, I find it's super hard....it's like all or nothing. Having said that, though, I am still (deep down) grateful for having gotten through these challenges because not only will it help me to grow professionally, it also helps me to grow as a person. And who wouldn't love that :)
I hope to be a better blogger in the coming weeks. I will try my best to get on here and update more, and as work begins to slow down a bit, I know I will be more willing to get on the computertyper in the evenings to do just that. Have a great week all xoxo.
OMG how did you get this picture of my street corner. I live on the corner or Werkendam and Dordrecht Rotterdam. And I sometimes ride by bicycle up like that. Towards LF12b.
