General Update

No cute funny story, but just an update of the different facets of my life...

Things are going good. I moved out of my mom's house, which was the first big step for me. My new house is awesome; it's a garden apartment (half underground) in a big Victorian near downtown. I can walk to the grocery store and any of my favorite hangouts downtown. That is DEFINITELY my favorite part. My room is nice and big, which is nice after living in Peach Street cupboard for so long!
My roommates are super awesome! Jackie is the one who's here the most and she is on the fast track to becoming one of my new best friends. She's in school to become an acupuncturist and often pokes me with needles or does Chinese medicine for me to relieve my various aches and pains. She also is a great listener which is good for me being a big talker! My other roommate is Leleia, but I never really see her. She mostly stays at her boyfriend's house, but she seems cool enough.
This week I purchased a queen-sized bed. This is my first big bed I've ever had, so I am feeling pretty pampered. I am loaded up with a body pillow and three others. Along with my wubby I feel like the princess and the pea on that thing.
The job is going smashingly. I am getting trained for chainsawing, which rocks! Yesterday we were bucking (cutting felled stuff into smaller lengths) up some trees and I got to buck a whole tree by myself! I did however get poison oak on my face...grrrr. Hopefully soon I will be a certafied faller and then I can run a chainsaw whenever I want!
Christmas is coming up soon which I am stoked about. No real big plans but I am excited about my presents. For the first year ever I actually thought of a gift my dad would like instead of having to ask him. I also have some nice presents for my girlies up here in town that I am excited about.
Nick's coming out in 6 days! I am excited to see him and excited to spend the holidays with him. I know that so many others of my friends do not get to see their sig. others as much as I get to see Nick, soI feel truly grateful for that. We've got lots of fun plans and he's here for almost two weeks so goodtimes on that!
Anyway. That's pretty much it in my life right now. Enjoy the catchup!
