i'm glad you came.

Alright, for all 3 of you that read this, here is my Christmas Wishlist for 2011:

WARNING: As I upgraded all my tech gadgets this year, my 2011 wish list will pale in comparison to some of my previous years.

1. Photojojo iPhone Photo Lenses $49

This company produces these awesome Fisheye, Telephoto and Macro lenses that are specifically designed to mount to your iPhone.

2. North Face ETIP Gloves - Graphite Grey $40

These gloves from The North Face have special tips on the fingers that are designed to let you use your touchscreen gadget (aka iPhone) without having to take your mittens off.
Note: AGLOVES are the original, cheaper, and probably better product. However, they have an online only availability. www.agloves.com is the site if you'd prefer to get me a pair of those.

3. Steve Jobs Biography $36.99

Steve Jobs biography. Because I want to read it.

4. Snuggie $20

I have been wanting a Snuggie in either blue or green for YEARS.

5. The Art of Shaving Badger Brush $75

I basically stopped using foam shaving cream and switched to cream based ones, so now a badger brush is a natural extension of that.

6. GNC AMP Stainless Steal Shaker Bottle $14.99

The GNC Shaker Bottle would be perfect since I hate dealing with the clumps in my shakes. Gross.

7. iPod nano watch $129

iWatchz have this site where you buy the strap and hook up your nano. The iPod nano watch is SO FREAKING COOL.

8. AppleCare for my MacBook Air $279

Because you know one day I'm going to need it.

9. Smallville Season 10 $45

I'm still pretty devastated this show is over. : ' (

10. Wii: Mario Kart Edition $149

I basically just want to play Mario Kart. Is that wrong?!

11. Phil & Sebastian coffee beans $16

Coffee = Life.

12. iTunes gift cards $???

I <3 music. 13. Chapters gift cards $???

I <3 reading. 14. Chinook gift card $???

The new expansion at Chinook is amazing. The sheer amount of high-end and "name" stores that reside in that place is astounding and a sign of just how "big city" Calgary has become. My favourite new stores are A&F, Urban Outfitters, Bench, Burberry, CK, Express and Guess.

tonight is the night.

So I know I said that with the mobile Blogger app I'd start blogging more but I guess I failed. : /

Quick recap:

Started job at Catch.
Next week am leaving said job at Catch.
Tomorrow I get to shave my mustache off.

michigan left.

Moxie's has been a big part of my life for the past 4 years now. Since moving to Calgary it's given me so many opportunities — opportunities I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. I truly believe in the core values and beliefs the company promotes; and it really does feel like I was adopted into a family. I've gotten to meet so many people, some of whom have become amazing friends to me. I've gotten to do and learn things that I would never have experienced anywhere else. I've even gotten to live out a lifelong childhood dream with them. When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut, and my backup career was radio DJ. Hahaha. I realize how much of a nerd that makes me, but getting to be in control of the entire Moxie's playlist across the country was a way of living that dream of mine.

It's been 4 years and 2 months since I decided to apply at Moxie's. I didn't realize how much the course of my life would change just by the simple act of filling out an application. Had I not done it, I would never have realized how much I enjoyed working in restaurants and my life would have gone in a different, potentially less rewarding, direction. My experience with Moxie's made me realize the goal I want in my life, for now at least.

I am excited to start a new part of my life, and I am incredibly nervous as well. My only emotion stronger than nervousness right now is sadness. I admit it. I'm sad to leave Moxie's. It's like filing for divorce. You know you cannot keep going, but accepting that it's over is hard.

love you like a love song.

Heading in a new direction.

This is gonna be good. I can feel it.

last friday night (tgif).

I sincerely hope that my decision from earlier today doesn't come back and bite me in the ass.

I could have changed the course of my life today and I'll never know.
