I love the cold days of January. Bundling up to go outside, having hot drinks, and staying inside while snowflakes float past the window. There are so many nice things about the coldest part of winter that I got to do over my vacation from work--ice skating with LK, reading Jane Austen, seeing movies, and going to cozy pubs to play darts.I'm not one for "resolutions," but in January I set goals for the year. Last year my goal was to clear up my skin and even though the last 6 months have been difficult, I'm nearly there.
I joked on New Year's Eve that my goal was to drink more, and it isn't far from the truth. My goal is to have more fun (and perhaps, drink more). The job market sucks and there is nothing I can do to change that, so I may as well enjoy myself a little rather than mope about because I haven't started my career. My other goal is obviously to get a "real" job, but I don't think there will be any harm in spending more time with my friends and Lars (my new camera).
I feel you on the job market. I finally have a decent job, but only after 5 years at McD's, and a 6 month stint at Best Buy. However, we did get a 5% pay cut that has not been returned yet so my job may not be as great as I thought.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I love these pictures. Especially the book one, that is what I really want to do right now. :)
Aww, it must be wonderful to keep oneself warm and toasty by the fireplace like that! Your idea of spending the winter is so appealing!
ReplyDeleteHope you find a 'real' job soon, in the mean time have loads of fun with Lars:)
