Wow I am soooo full. I went out tonight with a couple of new friends to a dessert auction to raise money for their church's nursery. Wow, that's about all I can say. There was so much food. Most of the people there weren't there for a deal (would be out of luck if you were), they were there to raise money for a good cause so a plate of cookies was basically going for like $40. Towards the end myself, my friends, and another couple at the table decided to pool all our money together and bid on this huge (and I mean huge) apple pie. It weighed almost 9 pounds...there was enough for us to divide it 3 ways and each have basically a whole pie's worth each and then some left over to share with others at the auction. Everyone shared so we had lots of goodies. It was quite fun. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to church in the morning. I had a nap this afternoon after babysitting and I slept I think almost 2 hours longer then I meant to so between the sleep and all the sugar I'm kind of wide awake. I haven't had a chance yesterday or today to do any more of my course but I'm planning to set some time aside tomorrow for that. I was going to tonight but it's getting too late and I think if I get into that I'll be up for hours yet. It's after 1:30am as it is.I've also been getting the bug to move again sometime. I'm not going to rush out and make any snap decisions but I've been thinking about this the last few weeks. I'm thinking sometime in the first half of the new year if things work out. I'm currently renting a room but I really need somewhere that I can feel like it's more my space besides one small bedroom. The stuff in my room is mine but the living room and kitchen and most of the bathroom stuff isn't. I feel like I always have to be so careful and I feel like I need to spend so much time in my room for fear of messing things up or breaking stuff. Especially when my roommate is home. Anyway, I've been looking at apartment prices and I know for a fact I can't afford anything on my income so I'm starting to look at options such as co-operative housing. I send an email to the local foundational office for more information on co-op housing and what kind of requirements a person needs to meet in order to live in that type of environment. I guess this option is something that I will definitely have to pray about and it is also something that I will have to be patient about. There's very few openings so I'm guessing there is probably some sort of wait list and there is also probably a priority system. I'm a bit fusy because I've lived close to some of the areas where these homes are and don't want to end up in those neighbourhoods again but then there's others that I'm far more open to and comfortable with. I have no idea now though whether this will even be the right option. It is just something I am looking into at this point. I'm not sure what other option I would have seeing as I don't know anyone else that needs a roommate and I don't like the idea of just living with someone I don't know. I've gotten lucky so far but I don't want to chance that too much...I don't want to end up in a worse situation. Well that's basically whats on my mind tonight. Lots of stuff to think about. Hmm...when I'm done catching up on my emails maybe I should clean my room if I'm still wide awake. It's getting a tiny bit better...but it's so hard to clean it up when you have no where to put anything. My room is basically my bedroom, my office, my library, and my living room all in one...and it's only a small room. LOL.
