Random Thoughts.

First off...I am very excited because I finished and turned in my final paper and have now completed 1/5 of my degree!! Woohoo. No more class until January22nd=Erin is very happy and talking in the third person.


Second. Jonathan (and Sword) put together an amazing work Christmas party that we attended on Saturday night. SUPER fun, LOTS of wine and no drama. Except for the fact that I somehow managed to get whipped cream ALL over my brand new top that is dry clean only (DOH!).

Third. Jonathan and I spent Sunday walking around Cambridge doing some final Christmas shopping and just hanging out. We had yummy burritos for lunch at Manna Mexico (which are good, but nothing compared to BonFire burritos in Goldsboro). It was really cold out, but the sun was shining and with the Christmas lights out everywhere we had a great time. Its hard to believe that Christmas is here!!

And Finally. I know that England is actually just a small island, but WHY are the parking spaces here tighter than grandma's spanks>? I mean, seriously, I drive a DODGE STRATUS (SNL skit, anyone? anyone?) I actually drive a Mazda 6, which in the states is considered a sedan, but in England is a giant, unparkable BEAST. Jonathan had to get out of the car and ground guide me while I was pulling into a spot in a parking garage in Cambridge. It was an austin powers move times 7....I must have used a 40 point turn to get into that space which really annoyed the car waiting behind me and served as entertainment for the couple parked near us that decided to stand and watch the event unfold (thanks for that). So, my plea to England is to widen your parking spaces, PLEASE, so that I dont have to Boston Bump my way into spaces anymore.
