This is it: I'm moving to Hawaii.

Well, not really, but I sure wouldn't mind it right now. According to my dashboard widget, it's -4 out right now. Probably more horrific when you factor in a wind chill of -30, predicted for today. And I'm about to go stand on a bus stop for goddess knows how long. Hopefully everything will be running on time because I'm going to be wearing: Two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants (work pants + jeans) four shirts, and a down jacket. Two pairs of gloves, my earmuffs, and a hat, and a scarf. Maybe two scarves. We'll see what I can fit under/over my jacket. Top it off with the feeling I have that I'm coming down with something, and we just have one big barrel of fun. And I've also got the feeling that the mall will be really busy, because schools are closed and you can't keep a 14 year old away from frappuccinos even in -30 degree weather. God help us all.

I tried using my espresso machine yesterday. Either its a crap machine or I'm just really bad at this barista thing. I'm leaning towards the machine. That, and the fact that I was tamping my grounds with a 1/4 cup measuring cup because I don't actually have a tamp or anything like that. I may add espresso machine to the list of things I'd like for my birthday. I figure I'm turning 20 so I'd better start growing up - no more asking for...well I never really asked for anything. I got a pretty sweet sewing machine the year I turned 18 though, and a printer for 19.

I've resolved to have my license and a car by the time I'm 20. Things are moving along nicely in that department. And since I'm not going to be a teenager anymore, I should also probably get rid of this silly giant desk. I figure a 20 year old would own sensible furniture from Ikea (and I'm addicted to Ikea, shh). I'm also trying to find a "real" job. Sadly, that job I was so hoping for downtown was taken. So I'm still searching. I want something stable. I need something like an actual sleep schedule, and actual mealtime schedules. It would also be nice to not have to worry about availability when signing up for school, but that's another rant.

Well, I have a lot more to say, but I have to go bundle up for the bus stop. Hope I don't lose any extremities. :)
