19. That is how many more days I have left until Christmas break. I cannot wait! I always get really burnt out towards the end of the year. I can’t believe how fast the wedding is coming. It is really scary.
On Saturday, we have a club jiu jitsu tournament to go to. I obviously am to new to participate in the tournament, but Vlad is participating, so I am going to watch him. I have decided to keep a Jiu-Jitsu training log. Just a simple log, or b-log if you will, to keep track of what I learn. It’s located at http://www.bjjgirl.com and is just a plain old wordpress blog, for now at least.
Also, this weekend we our having our annual friends christmas dinner and drinkfest. We usually do this at The Keg, and then go out afterward, but this year, The Keg was booked, so we are going to Buda. I have never been there before, but I hear it is really good.

Today is the second day of 30 days of posting. It’s pretty late in the day already, but I had to wait until my new favourite show, True Blood, was over. I really love this show. There are only three episodes left, and I don’t know what I am going to do when it is over. The good thing is that they already signed on to do a second season, so I won’t left with a cliffhanger ending one and only season, a la My So-Called Life (le sigh).
Today I went and got new wood blinds for my living room. The aluminum ones were all bent out of shape by my cats. The would crawl through them when they were closed. These ones look much better than the white aluminum ones.
I mentioned yesterday that I had put out my Christmas decorations, so here are some pics of my apartment, all decked out (you can see the new blinds in the picture below):

One of my little trees that I put out. I haven’t setup the big tree yet.

Today I woke up and started taking down the Halloween decorations in my house. When I was done, the house looked so sad, so blah. It depressed me. I decided that I would get out the Christmas decorations and get started. Hey, if the stores, i.e. the malls can bust out their Christmas decorations in October, I surely can put mine out on November 1st. I mean, there are some things I will not do yet, like the window lights and the outdoor decor, but that doesn’t mean I can’t go all out inside my place. I am almost done with everything except the Christmas Tree. I will do that later. Maybe even later tonight. Some people say that I am crazy, but I just love Christmas lights.
I have made quite a bit of progress on my baby blanket. I would say I am probably about 40% done now. It is a rather easy pattern to follow. No counting rows or stitches, and once you’ve done one square, you don’t even need to look at the pattern anymore, except to figure out the colour pattern, and which square to do next. I just absolutely love how this blanket looks. It is so cute! Here it is so far:

I took the day off work today so that Vlad and I could stay home and watch scary movies. So far today, I have watched the following movies: Jeepers Creepers, The Omen, Hocus Pocus, Sleepy Hollow, and Ghostbusters. I am hoping to squeeze another on in before the end of the night.
I went to my mom’s house tonight for Halloween to give out candy in her neighborhood. There aren’t very many children in my neighborhood, so I usually go over there. My mom made the best chilli for dinner. We were supposed to do the pumpkin pot pies, but we decided not to. We will try it next year. There were so many cute kids out tonight. Makes me want one even more! It made me sad to think that it will be at least until the Halloween after next until I have a baby to take trick or treating. I am just praying that I can be pregnant by next Halloween. I hope I don’t have any problems. I know I sound like a broken record.
Yesterday, I reinstated my Fertility Friend Account and bought the 1 year VIP account. I am hoping that I will not have to renew! I have also started taking a prenatal vitamin in order to be ready to TTC (that’s “Try to Conceive” in internet pregnancy lingo). Only 6 months to go, so I want to be ready.
Tomorrow is the first day of the November blog posting challenge. I am excited. I really hope I can do it, and that I don’t forget to post everyday. I am really going to try.
