Too busy to sleep

My schedule these days has been INSANE.

Weddings, buying a house, looking for a new job, hosting parties at my new house, getting a new job and all the paperwork that goes along with that, setting up my own company for said new job, moving OUT of Rocky (do you have any idea how hard it is to organise carpet cleaning AND regular cleaning before Christmas?!), finishing up at my current job, and ARGH IT ALL TAKES SO MUCH TIME.

I haven't even thought about Christmas shopping yet!

Why do I always manage to change jobs AND move at Christmas time? I've done that for the past 4 years.

I guess it's the nature of my industry. You move when the job finishes and they usually finish at the end of the year. It never gets any easier, though.

Christian Singles

Tonight I am going for a riverside picnic. There will be champagne and delightful food. There will be wonderful conversation.

My company? A married couple and the two most eligible bachelors in my church.

How many girls would love to be in my position? The interesting thing is that I adore both of them like brothers and that's what makes it so lovely and easy. :)

It's funny how we Christian singles often complain of not knowing any of the opposite gender, but the truth is, we do. We just see them as brothers or sisters.

Name mayhem

One of my friends just suggested it would be the funniest thing in the world if we moved in together.

And it's true. She's a fabulous girl, loves all of the same sci-fi things that I do, works in IT, is the same age as me, etc. So why would it be funny?

We have the exact same name.

Can you imagine the phone calls? "Can I speak to Nic?" "Sure, which one?" "Nic XXXX" (where XXXX = my surname). "Sure, which one?" "Nicole XXXXX". "The blonde one or the brunette one?"

Not to mention how difficult it would be sorting out the mail!
