Hello everyone!  I've been super-busy recently, hence the lack of posting, but I wanted to get this post up before I forgot.  I am totally going to do holiday cards this year (no, really, I swear), and I would love to send you one if you want one!  Just leave a comment with your address, and however you'd like the envelope to be addressed, if you do (comments are screened).  Also, let me know if you care whether you get a Christmas-specific card or not, since I have both Christmas and generic winter holiday season cards, and will just pick at random unless you specify.

Please leave your address, even if you think I already have it.  And point me towards your post if you're sending cards and want to send me one. :D

I'm actually going to get my cards out on time this year, yay!  I'm pretty much done with them right now, so if you want a card (plus an extra surprise) from me and you haven't already done so, make sure you comment to my post with your address.  I should be sending them out in the next couple of days.

Yes, it is fairly early, but if I don't get this post up now, I will probably forget it all together.  So, anyone who wants a holiday card, please comment with an address that I can send it to!  This applies to people I see all the time, too.  Also, if I had your address in the past, you should still comment so I have everything all together.  If you have your own post (now or if you put it up later), please let me know about that, and we can exchange cards!  If I really get myself in gear this year, I may send something additional along with the card, too!

I passed my tests today, yay! Only two more to go, and then our training is basically over. We have to wait until December 2nd, but I'm confident that I'll be able to pass those without any trouble. I did well today; I was just nervous because of my shitty performance during the skill assessment on Monday. But what a load off my mind.

I wanted to come home and collapse after work, since I was drained after all that, but I had to go to my dad's office to edit. After a horrifying period of time where I thought all of my footage was gone and would have to be recaptured (it ended up being on the HD that Dad removed from the computer, grr), I worked on the video for a couple of hours. I captured all of the remaining footage, and everything is on the timeline, so I just have to go in and work on transitions and cleanup on Saturday. I shouldn't have any problem getting it done, and boy will I be glad to be done with it. The footage turned out alright, I just don't like the setup Dad has at his office (uncomfortable chair, crappy mouse). I'll be glad not to have to sit in there anymore. Plus, there was a draft blowing on me all evening, so I was chilly. Hopefully it will be warmer on Saturday. I did get Chinese food and a homemade cupcake for dinner, though, so that was awesome.

Now that I'm done with all of that for today, I'm definitely going to go to bed early tonight. I know I've been saying that every day for the past while, and then still ending up going to bed at 2AM or later, but today I mean it. I have to take a shower and stuff, but I am pretty much done for the evening. I am at the point where I just took a five minute nap right before I started this entry, so I can't envision myself staying up too much past midnight. I'd like to actually make it to work more than five minutes before 8AM. It's honestly a miracle that I've only been late one time so far, though (and that was due to being stuck behind a bus on the way from Dunkin' Donuts to work), but I've been cutting it close every day. Here's hoping I can change that for the last few weeks I'm on this schedule.

Aside from editing on Saturday, and a mass/reception thingy on Sunday (my dad's co-worker's son just got ordained and is giving his first mass then), I'm going to spend my weekend catching up on TV. Definitely getting to Supernatural first, since I've been hearing vague noises of awesomeness from my flist regarding the past few episodes. My goal is to be able to watch most things more or less live once they come back from the hiatus. I'll still use the DVR so I don't have to watch commercials (haaaate), but I'd like to be caught up on more than just seven shows.

Oh, and as a reminder, if you want a holiday card from me, the post is here. And link me to your card and Holiday Wishlist entries, too. I don't think I'm going to do the wishlist thing this year, since my requests are liable to be things like more hours in the day for sleeping, or the ability to see my family on Christmas, or a freaking Fall Out Boy show that I can actually go to boys, seriously, but if I can fulfill anyone's requests, I will.

And that's all from me tonight. So glad this week is finally almost over!

Had a much-needed day off today. I basically lay around doing nothing and reading fic. I feel about a million times better than I did last night, but not completely back to 100% yet. I think I'll be good in the next couple of days, though. My cough is almost gone, but I'm still stuffy. :\

So, holiday cards! I figured it would be a good idea to get my post out early this year, so that I have a chance of actually getting stuff together to send them. Last year I forgot to even make a post, so clearly early is the way to go. Since I'm skeptical of my poll-making skills, please comment with your name and address if you want one. All comments are screened, of course, so no one sees your information except me. Let me know if you'd prefer a "Christmas" card or a "Holiday" card, since I have both. If you don't care, I'll just pick one at random.

Also, if you're sending cards, I'd love to get one, so feel free to either link me to your post or let me know and I'll send you my address.

Okay, so I actually managed to find my holiday cards this year, yay!  While I know I'll be sending them to family, I love sending (and receiving) cards, so I'd be happy to send one out to anyone who wants one.  Please comment with your name and address if you do.  All comments are screened, of course, so no one sees your information except me.  I will probably send them out sometime in the first couple weeks of next month, but could certainly send New Years cards too, if you don't get your info to me by then but still want one. Also, let me know if you'd prefer a "Christmas" card or a "Holiday" card, since I have both.

Also, if you're sending cards, I'd love to get one, so please either link me to your post or let me know and I'll send you my address.  Yay to mail that isn't junk mail or bills!
