Thankful Flashback

I've been crazy busy with moving and homework and other things recently so I'm only just now getting around to posting photos from thanksgiving. My honey came up and spent the weekend and joined my family and I for thanksgiving dinner.

 

Chunky Dog took a shine to my honey almost instantly, which was pretty adorable. That dog is such a suck up snuggle bug. He'll love up anybody who'll let him now that he knows he can.

I'm not nearly as tall as my honey, I was just wearing heels. Our differences in skin tone always amuses me. He's a carpenter and avid outdoors-man and spends most of his time working outside so the sun has done its work. Meanwhile I'm white as a sheet! Now I'd best get ready for another day of moving the last bits and bobs out of my apartment and prep for hitting the road... I have an award ceremony to attend in the Big Smoke! Cheers!

Orange Duck

I was tasked with the duck in the college restaurant this past week. Decent for the first week open but turning all those little vegetables ate up a huge chunk of my time and I couldn't come up with a creative garnish. Hence the lame little piece of orange supreme.

This week I'm doing service work in the dining room so I don't have to worry about cooking anything, but next week I'm on starch and vegetables. I have to come up with tasty and attractive vegetables that can be easily portioned. Exciting... Cheers!

Vintage

I picked up this skirt while vintage hunting in Paris, France. It's a fantastic skirt on its own as it is but the fact of where I purchased it makes it all the more special to me.

 

This is the last outfit photo from my old apartment. I'll have to find somewhere new to take photographs here! Cheers...

The Last

I sold my last snake tonight. He was the first of my snakes back in 2009, Galen the ball python. I'm still crying over it, and I'm going to miss him. But this is what needed to happen so I can do what's best for me.

Now there's just two geckos. The four remaining tarantulas I am giving to my classmate. This horrible process is almost done...

Falling

Blurred

The last few days have been pretty intense, what with being the first week of classes for my second year. Plus on Monday I sold another of my snakes, this time an albino checkered garter snake that I'd raised from a baby. It doesn't get any easier...

My vehicle should be coming out of the garage today, but I'm not looking forward to the bill. The closer I get to the end of 2014, the more I want this whole year to be over... I spoke to the person today who manages the student exchange program. I got some much needed information but I'm still not certain it's going to happen. Money is the main hurdle, but also finding a partner to go with me. Fingers crossed... Cheers!
