Christmas Shopping

Ugh... I hate Walmart at Christmas time. We went yesterday and it was literally 20 minutes of shopping and an hour and a half navigating our way through the store. Getting behind people who would continually stop to look at something and take up the whole aisle to do it was riding my last nerve. Not to mention, I am extremely claustrophobic. Well, aside from that, I was able to make some progress. I'm almost ready to call this shopping season finished. I'm going to attempt one more go early this morning and try to beat the crowd. I'm hoping to find a couple little surprises for my love. Why are guys so hard to shop for. At Christmas time it must be easier to be a guy. Women are (in my opinion) much easier to impress with gifts. Guys never seem to like what you get them or even know why you picked a certain something. *sigh* There really isn't that much to choose from if you want to really impress them either. Somehow I don't think smelly candles or bubble bath gifts sets will do. I always like to go with something that is sentimental or something that he is really into. The problem with that is, I know what he's into and he probably has a more extensive collection of it than anyone on the planet. I couldn't pick something that is the right thing that he doesn't already have if I tried all year. My next angle... go for something that means something to me and hope he appreciates me wanting to share it with him. It's kind of a risky call and could be totally wrong but it beats the bubble bath gift set the big retailers want me to buy him. xP Stay tuned and I'll tell you what I found and how it worked.

Where has this year gone?

Wow! I just looked and the last time I posted here was May! Where has this year gone? Well, thought it might be time to knock the dust off this old blog. This year has been full of ups and downs. I should have a degree in gaming and simulation programming in three years. That is really exciting. My boyfriend is in the UK so I'm hoping to take that degree and find work there. It will be a huge move but I've always wanted to go. I never really knew until now what all is involved in a move like that. There's so much paperwork and so many things that have to be just so so. But in the end if I manage to get it all done it will be worth it. Maybe then I'll have something to blog about. It's funny to me that I haven't written anything in 6 months and still I am having trouble finding a dozen sentences to say about what I've been up to. Ah, I did discover twitter this year. It has pretty much claimed a large portion of my free time. Maybe that has something to do with why I have nothing exciting to talk about. Haha! I'm considering getting on my bike again a few times before it gets too cold. I used to love to ride and would ride all over town but it's been awhile. Maybe I'll get up from here and go do that now.

Another Rainy Day

Well, hello everyone! It's another rainy day here in North Carolina. It's actually been raining for about a week or so (I've lost count). On another note. While I've been hanging out indoors I've managed to update my space, join twitter and join facebook. I don't know that much about facebook but I have one friend so far. xP Twitter is awesome! I like the way it works. 140 spaces to say whatever to whoever. If anybody wants to check mine out my username is Chellemo. I've found only one thing I don't like about it so far. Now that I have an account, I keep getting followers that are randomly trying to spam up my page selling some kind of crap. I block all users who follow me just to advertise something. Come to think of it, my space is the same way and I'm sure facebook will follow suit. (spammers trying to add themselves to my space as a friend just to advertise some junk that I don't want or definitely don't want to see.) Am I the only real person left on the internet? Is everyone else just a spambot in disguise? I wonder sometimes.
