Saturdays

I love Saturdays. I do now, and I think I most probably always will.

They are the first day of the weekend, and if you don't work on weekends, this makes them extra special, because it means they are totally in your own hands to do whatever pleases you.

They rock too because when you wake up thinking it's still the work week, it's a huge relief to realize it's Saturday and phew you don't have to be up and be at the beckon call of people all day.

Saturdays are usually the day of fun too. Not that Sundays are horrible by any means, they are just a little more lazy. Kind of like the lazy days of summer, is how I imagine my Sundays (especially come winter time).

Speaking of winter, it's not that far off. Unforunately the snow will be making an appearance this year shortly, there is no denying that. But why as Winnipeggers are we always surprised when it actually comes? I mean we're practically referred to as "Winterpeg" where there are only two season; winter and construction.

Every first snow fall people become idiots. They drive like their are some little old lady who can't see over the steering wheel or they drive as if it's some sunny hot summer day. Get over it people, you drive almost probably half a years length of time, every year on snow, it's like riding a bike after you haven't done it for a while, you can't forget it.

The best about the pre-winter season is the complaints of winter. I personally don't hate winter like some people. I like the look of snow and the feelings it brings up. It's nice. It reminds me of having fun making snow angels, making snow men, curling up with a good book and hot chocolate and all that fun stuff. I could do without the coldness, but I'm not so much of a winter-hater as some Winnipeggers are. Generally we are just complainers I suppose. No biggie!

I just can't believe it's almost the end of October. Last year at this time, I was still jobless, but I had passed my national exam. Crazy. I haven't really accomplished a lot since then, though. Practically still the same, which is a little bit sucky. All I really bought since getting the job is a dog, a car, a computer and well that's about it. No huge trips or anything. Mind you there is a pretty hefty fee monthly for the car, and that dog is still demented, but ultimately both worth every penny.

I was just thinking about the holidays this year and I just can't believe they are almost here. Starting in a few short weeks the christmas decorations and songs will be playing in the malls and shopping stores. The insanity will ensue. This year I need to get my little butt in gear and get presents before December, that is my goal. *fingers crossed* I have the general idea for the majority of my gift recipients, so yay on me....which reminds me I should probably create a wish list for christmas. If I seriously get any more jewellery from my grandparents, I may go insane. It's all nice and very thoughtful, but I can only wear so much at a time.

Oh well, que sera, sera.
