Beer and Cheese

I considered my week to be over Wednesday afternoon after my much dreaded (but pleasantly easy!!!!) physics test. I had work and the rest of my classes for the week, sure, but as far as homework or tests or quizes or papers were concerned, my week was finished then.

I'm glad it's finally Friday so that I can celebrate Friday!

Senior portrait today and another $15 the school is getting from me! I was going back forth between either coming to my 8am, driving back to the house, getting ready there and then driving back to campus or just getting up early, showering, and bringing everything I needed to get ready for my picture. In the spirit of not wanting to waste an hour of my day and another gallon of gas, I decided to bring my face-wash, lotion, powder, and assortment of eye make-up with me. My picture isn't until 2:30 so I have plenty of time to do a little bit of work and dick around on the internet before getting ready.

Tomorrow Wes and I are getting our pictures taken for a project of a friend of ours. I'm not sure if it's a couple-thing or an abstract thing or how it's going to go... but I'm excited. It's not that I'm vain, I just like having my picture taken!!!!

I know it's still early to be thinking about Christmas but the 2 liter Coke bottles at work already have Santa Clause on them... So I can't but begin to wonder what I want to get people for Christmas. I found some really unique (but not ugly) necklaces in the vintage store at Doylestown Underground a couple of weeks ago and think they would make fantastic presents for my mum and sister. Unfortunately, my sister's birthday is two weeks before Christmas so I have to do her bday shopping too. I'm thinking maybe a vest or something from Old Navy (50% off for card holders!!!!!). My brother says he wants money. Pft. Lame. I never know what to get my dad. Probably a book. I'm going to get Wes a tattoo gun so that he can start tattooing me (WAHAHAHAHAHAHA) and we'll probably get the default gift card to the Washington House for his parents. Not sure what to get Andrea... maybe some wine glasses if she hasn't already gotten some. I know she had said to me before that she was getting into wine but had nothing to drink it out of (because it just doesn't taste as good from a regular glass).

Wes and I are making two or three batches of beer to give out too I think. A winter warmer and something else... I forget. Making beer for gifts kills two birds with one stone though: I'm doing a presentation for my honors class on beer making and taking in some samples!!! I wanted to try to do some home-made cheese to go along with our beer gifts, but I don't know if that's going to get done or not. Bummer :(

It makes me sad that this year Wes and I won't have our own tree with our presents under it. I miss having our own place...

Since I'll be home for Thanksgiving, maybe my mum, sister, and I will venture out early on Black Friday. Super fun!
