winter? winter!

it all started with full on snow fall on tuesday. we had all been in a meeting and came back downstairs only to notice a snow-globe-effect going on outside! luckily the snow wasn't sticking. it was a really harsh reality check that said, "hey, you know fall? that season where you get to wear warm clothes but are not actually cold? it's gone."

i'm a bit sad that winter is coming so early because as i painfully remember, i hated winter last time and it felt like it would never end. so i can only sit here and dread what it'll be like this time around, esp. since i won't be able to travel very far to escape winter (thanks, economic recession!) this year as i had originally planned.

the plus sides of winter, though, are keeping me afloat until christmas:

• MAC sent out the pretty emails for their holiday collections. those are always fun to look at but i hardly ever buy any makeup these days. i'm wondering where the brush sets are, though!


• William-Ashley sale! this year i will make it there and stock up for the holidays


• remembrance day super long weekend - i'm doing it. i heart long weekends, esp. when they're four days long!


• the red cup. i am every marketer's dream because i buy into every single campaign of theirs. my favourite time of the year though, has got to be when the red cup is out at starbucks and i order the first of many peppermint mocha's with red sprinkles on top. yay!


• my bi-annual Christmas party! time for the big shindig again, and hopefully we'll be more settled in our place so it'll actually be kind of a housewarming party too
