The Five Coolest Things About New Jersey My Life

[snogged]

1. Got my first paycheck from my new job and after months of unemployment/temping/barely part-time work, I feel positively wealthy. :)

2. I got my Christmas presents wrapped for Nick while he was sitting 5 feet away from me. (Okay, I'm cheating a little because our apartment has two living rooms and he was sitting on the couch in one while I was wrapping in the other. Still counts, right?)

3. I found a really neat fabric bowl with a cow print and homemade marmalade called Mosquito Marmalade (Peach and Orange with Red Raspberries.) I'm giving it to my cousin, Liz, as part of my family's "not-so-secret Santa exchange with dad's side of the family."

4. I had Chinese food for dinner (chicken with mixed vegetables and crab rangoon with Chi-Pan's signature sauce) and have left-overs for lunch tomorrow.

5. There are new episodes of Raising Hope and New Girl tonight. :)
Sidebar: For those who wish to know, I trimmed down my gigantic list of shows and lost seven. I find myself not missing them so much so I'll call that a plus. (Thankfully, ANTM ended because LEVERAGE is back!!) Once Upon A Time, Lost Girl, Mike and Molly, Glee, Ringer, Suburgatory, Up All Night. And then America's Next Top Model ended last week so that frees up some time too.

Honorable Mention: I got all of my holiday cards sent out in the mail yesterday so keep an eye out for them!

Honorable Mention 2: The coffee shop that is (sadly) closing at the end of the week is taking cookie orders. I'll be getting SIX chocolate chip cookies with pecans and since Nick's dad is coming to visit us on Saturday for an early Christmas exchange, I have people to share with. :)

Honorable Mention 3: My best friend and bro for life, Loki, is in Wisconsin for the next week and a half and he's planning to come visit me on Monday!

Yay for feeling wealthy!

Did you find it hard to cut the shows out of your tv line up? Because I got to be honest at one point I figured it out and we(my oldest girls and I) were watching a total of around 12 shows a week and now I've gotten it down to(Vampire Diaries, Supernatural,Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, CSI are the only ones I watch) But for a few minutes there as I was deciding which shows had to go it wasn't pretty :)

I haven't even started on my wrapping yet. *hangs head in shame* Is it just me or does it seem like Christmas is coming faster then usual this year?

I found it somewhat difficult, but it wasn't too bad.

Christmas does feel like it's coming up darn fast.

Right choice w/ Once Upon a Time. Hottest character is gone, so...

And nice subject line.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Who was the hottest character?

Thanks. :P

[jewelledfairy.livejournal.com]

*Spoiler alert* Huntsman/Sheriff (unless another character also likely is gone)

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Sad!

[jewelledfairy.livejournal.com]

Very, but his story was a good one.

[peasantings.livejournal.com]

The sheriff!!! (You missed my ridiculous mourning on Tumblr. Which is probably good for you.)

I live in New Jersey, so really I do love the subject line!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I've actually never been there.
I'm a little annoyed by the fact that my strike-through html coding didn't seem to work though...

Huzzah for ducats! I am so happy for you!

It's a nice change. :)

Yes! Payday = AWESOME! Especially the first big check :D

Cookies! Yum yum!!

I'm thinking about giving up Mike & Molly as well. I just really don't care anymore. But we'll see. I haven't watched Once Upon a Time since the pilot and they're just piling up on the TiVo, but I'm just not motivated to watch it!!

Have a great time with Loki!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Paydays are great like that. Though I'm sure my next ones won't be quite as large on account of the fact that I had to turn in my benefits applications today.

I'm sure Loki and I will have a great time. :)

YAAAAAY!!! Paychecks are one of the best things about a job. :)

Excited about the New Girl episode! Unfortunately the site I usually use to download shut down, so I'll have to stream it elsewhere.

Have fun with the cookies and your friend!

I sent out my card earlier this week, too. It should arrive some time around Christmas!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I hope you find a new place to stream it.

Cool! I'll be looking out for it.

[angelskuuipo.livejournal.com]

Yay for getting paid! May it continue for a very long time to come!

I so cannot wait for next weeks' Leverage to find out what the guys were up to. :D It looks like they had quite the eventful night.

I'm glad you're getting more cookies before they're gone for good.

I'm also glad you get to see Loki! Have fun. {{hugs}}

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope it will!

I'm looking forward to that too. :P

I'm definitely hoping Loki's plan to come visit comes to light. Pray for mild/good driving weather!

[cee-m.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the card, woman! It made me smile. I'm glad you've got some goodness going! :D

[snogged.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
I should hopefully be getting your mix CD in the mail tomorrow.
