People Get Addicted

It’s a problem around here.

October has been non-stop action as usual, but I don’t have that spread-thin feeling quite so bad as I did last month. Being good about looking at my calendar before agreeing to things has helped. I suppose it’s very Virgo of me to truly think that pretty much anything can be accomplished with great organization and scheduling.

Anyway, October had some notable milestones such as Caleb Patterson being born right on his due date, and Sammy getting engaged! Very exciting stuff. Josh and I also went to CrossIron Mills for the first time and were overwhelmed by the size of it. It makes me not regret that I’ve never been to West Edmonton Mall because I’ve come to realize that I can’t shop for very long anyways, so huge malls aren’t much of an advantage for me. But still, it was fun to see. They had my gorgeous bow there, the very same one. But I think it might be less at the Archery Centre. At this point I have every intention of buying that bow around Christmas. With my birthday money plus my accumulating stockpile of rolled change (and, possibly, Christmas bonus), it won’t be too bad actually. It excites me just thinking about it.

This month also has been good for coffee and dinner dates because a few weeks ago I went to Starbucks with Leah and then just last weekend with Katie (who I hadn’t seen in so long!) and yesterday, dinner at Art Central with Lyndsay. We had the Great Music Trade of ’09 last night so this weekend I’m going to be watching Dead Like Me and listening to new music (at last). Although, come to think of it, I’ve been waking up to some okay stuff on CBC Radio 2. The problem is, I’m too brain-dead that early in the morning to remember song titles (or lyrics to look up later). Alas.

Jen’s playing World of Warcraft again and part of me wants to start too, but I know if I do that I’ll get bored of it after level 30ish but keep playing anyways because of trying to keep up. For my own sake I want to stick to my promise that I wouldn’t go back to it. But I do get these periodic yens to make a pure black Tauren or a Blood Elf paladin. If anything, I’ll reactivate my account and play at SwitchBox or something… because I uninstalled it from my computer and it’s not coming back.

I’m looking forward to Halloween tomorrow, we’re having a Space-themed party and I’m going as a futuristic-lady. Hopefully, someone’s costume will be a planet.
