it's cold here

Just in time for me to have to wear a suit every day to work.  Not so fun for my weekend off though.  Saturday I decided to stay in and reorganize my closet, a project which was very necessary.  Unfortunately the power went out on my block right around dusk, and my closet reorganization came to a halt.

The project was harder to get back in to yesterday, and so here we find ourselves on Monday morning with piles of clothes on my couch in my living room.  At least I gained an hour of work this morning.
And I still managed to enjoy some of my day yesterday.  I went for a run and spied these bathing beauties:

There are a few things you can count on when the temperature drops.  Iguanas are one, snowbirds are another.

Hopefully they are going to come shopping soon.

Oh by the way, I forgot, here is your calendar page for this month:

After all the excitement of August I'm looking forward to a more frugal September.  Besides my weekend trip to Atlantic City next week I have no intention of spending money on ANYTHING.  And then October is a three paycheck month!

Good timing for Sober September too, last year it was really scary to see how much further my money went without spending anything on booze.  I don't even feel like I drink that much, it's just that I get drinks when I'm out at dinner or whatever.  I would probably save more buy buying in bulk and drinking alone at home but then I would really have to question my choices.

I started Sober September a little early because I think I'm going to take cheat days in Atlantic City.  Otherwise, I am looking forward to drying out for the next 30 days.  I have a feeling I'll end up more like this by the end of the month:

As if I weren't already...

Meghan already got me this morning but so far that's it.  I could use some good luck this month.  Also, thank you for sending me this:

He's got the right attitude.

I didn't end up doing anything about a car, yesterday was the day if I were going to.  I woke up yesterday at 8:30 but went back to sleep and didn't get up again until 1 in the afternoon, missing the appt I had at Volkswagen.  I took it as a sign from the universe that I wasn't that excited about it if I slept through my appt.

So I'm back at square one.  The good news is that I can play Mariah's new cd in my truck so that takes some of the pressure off to make a hasty decision.  Still, I would love to hear it on an amazing sound system.

But even if I were to order the mini cooper of my dreams I would have to wait 6-8 weeks for it to be delivered, aint nobody got time for that.  At the beginning of last month I looked at the calendar page and wondered how different things were going to be once I got to the final days.  I was right to predict change, but I had no idea what was in store for me.  As I look at the calendar for this month I'm a little more optimistic about how things will unfold.  And I like the theme for this month, so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Meghan got me this morning before I woke up but otherwise nobody else has realized it's the first yet so I'm getting you all with this post.

Flipped the calendar page last night and filled in my work schedule for the month.  One of those months where I know everything will be so different in my life by the time I get down to the bottom of the page.

In the meantime, I find the picture for this month true and comforting:

And the guy at the bottom is me!

I'm guessing I'll be saying that more than once this month.

Usually April first is an easy rabbit picture as I usually use it as an excuse to post a picture of another animal masquerading as a rabbit, but I just happened to learn about "bunny island" recently and had to post about it for my 1st of the month post.

LOOK AT HOW NICE THEY ARE!!

: (

Apparently it's in Japan and when I searched for it I came across this article: Things are looking a bit harey! Woman flees bunny stampede on Japan's Rabbit Island

 with video:



I love how dramatic that article makes it sound.  She's obviously enjoying herself, as anybody would in this situation.

But anyways, April 1st, did part 1 of my training for my new job today.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day, but at least I got out early today and am off the day after.  I'm anxious to just start already and get back in to the swing of things.

All of this change is motivating me to go through some piles of junk I have laying around and get things organized.  Might as well take advantage of my unexpected free time in the middle of the day.

Here's the calendar page for the month:

Meghan got me this morning and I almost forgot to ever do my post for today, can't believe it's already March.  Curse February and it's lack of days.

I was going to post a Barbie picture in addition to my "all my friends are dead" calendar that I got from Daniel because my sister actually got me a 2014 Barbie calendar too.  Unfortunately it's not all new Barbie's so I was only going to post when it was a new Barbie I hadn't posted before.  For some reason I thought this month was the first one but it's not.

So you'll have to satisfy yourself with just this for another month:

Haha I like his face.

Sorry, I'm a day late.  Was all over the place yesterday, I think this is the first first of the month that I've missed.

Milestones.

I like my calendar page for today:

What I don't like is this little jab they included for the month:

The other day at work Moya was like, "I have a very special favor to ask you".  It was to switch shifts on the 14th so she could open and I would close.  Because she knew I wouldn't have plans anyways.

Rude.

Whatever, now I close with Gala so she said she would be my valentine.

Apparently I really dropped the ball in 2011 by not even realizing it was the year of the rabbit.  What a wasted opportunity.

Sadly the end of the year marks the end of my calendar, so I have to say goodbye to fat cats.  They surprised me with one last farewell picture:

But don't worry, Daniel got me a new calendar for 2014, so you can look forward to a new year of these:

And of course another year of music videos, anecdotes, and hilarious pictures.  Oh 2014, you will be a good year.
