CHOCOLATE TIME

Got up with a good case of "Give me chocolate RIGHT NOW, or I'll have to inflict some damage to get it", as well as the DOMS. My upper body again was feeling it the most, up until I went downstairs to the kitchen and that's when I felt it in my legs. Going upstairs I can feel it anyway, but if I feel my legs burning and aching when I go downstairs, it simply means I've worked my butt off. And I was ready for more, but I looked outside and it was snowing again - really beautiful - and quite hypnotic. So much so that I changed my mind and stayed indoors. Soon after I got up Judy did too, then Dawn got home and took a sicky to stay home. I haven't seen her properly in days, but we just picked up from where we left off: with silly laughing fits. I love the fact that you can just do that with ppl: there is no need to start over, you just continue - that rocks!

I wanted to do some form of exercise - even if it was just walking to the shops. Then my chocolate cravings got too much that I went into the cupboard and munched on those chocolate chip bits used for baking - and it was dark chocolate. That is an indication of how big that craving was. I don't like dark chocolate, but when my stomach wants it, I will give it ANYTHING with any kind of chocolate. Even if I have to lick it off a package of something. Yes, desperate times. But all for a good cause.

When Dawn got home she got a block of Cadbury chocolate. She can't have a lot of it coz it gives her migraines, so she went for 3 little squares and I had the rest! The good news: the craving has subsided!

Dawn eventually went to bed and I have the place to myself for a while, so I paid my credit card bill (well, more like transferred money over to Mum's account so she can pay it) and have realised that I am saving quite a bit. Having accommodation everywhere really is an immense help. I haven't even begun using part of my spending money - am living very well off the AUD$600 that I changed over a few days before leaving Oz. I'm remarkably happy over this (as anyone would be!)

Today I also discovered something else that was way cool: MOVIE TRIVIA! Alright, I used to be a movie buff and liked all the trivia, but at the age of 22, I completely lost interest in movies and shit like that. But I got to talking to Dawn and her folks who are big movie buffs and I realised how interesting it all is. But the trivia is making me curious about seeing some of these flicks, I must admit. I just need to find the time to watch all of these.

When Judy gets home we're going to be making a pie and having a light dinner because we're going to the gym tonight to do an aqua class (now that my gorgeous Mum has sent me my bathers!), so at least I won't have a completely lazy day. And I have a feeling from Thursday onwards it's gonna be a hectic time til after New Year, possibly after my little cousin's birthday in late January: On Thursday I'm going to the beach and it's forecast to be 1 degree!; Up early on Friday to pick up Dawn after her last shift ever, then off to Ottawa . It's an 8 hour drive! Back on either Saturday night or Sunday morning; Off to the movies on Sunday if we're not tired, packing on Sunday night, fly off to Madison on Monday for 10 days, fly back to Canada with Christnas dinner 2 days later, packing for the next while to get ready to fly to Argentina 3 days later, 2 days after arriving it's my cousin's 15th birthday (THE HUGE ONE!), 4 days later it's Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) where dogs are sedated because the fireworks spook them all. Then I'll have to get ready for New Years Eve's dinner, then a few hours after that myself, my cousin, aunty and uncle are all driving up to the North East coast of Arg to a beach resort for 2 weeks. When I get back I'll be helping out with my little cousin's birthday party. Last time I helped out it was exhausting, coz as soon as we got back from the beach resort, we went to planning the party and didn't get a break until February! Then I can relax a bit :) If I don't blog for a while, you now know my schedule for the next few months!

After aqua, we're all going shopping for groceries Just remind me for my shopping list: Choc bits, Cadbury almond block to replace what my craving got rid of!)

Well, blog is done for the day, now I can relax til I need to go to Aqua, which isn't for a few hours. YAY!

Off to (insert some place or activity here) See ya!
