Winter cleaning

I have been thoroughly enjoying the snowy and frosty winter we've had in Finland. I like to have 4 seasons as long as the winters are actually full of snow and it's been everything I could want this winter. Now it's kinda getting slushy and slippery with the warmer temperatures but in general it's been great. New York/ New Jersey had weird winters, when it snowed it SNOWED and then the next day it was 30 degrees warmer and it all melted away. And when it was cold there usually was no snow. Even though it gets dark here early, I love the glowy sky with snow on the ground.

It's been an interesting week and it's about to get more interesting tomorrow. My moms store opened on Saturday and it was a very successful day. That night I spent some time at Elviira and Mikko's watching pretty good finnish show and Munamies definitely is my new favorite. That song was amazing! And I don't really watch finnish shows. I also beat Mikko twice on NHL 2000 which was super funny looking at their large HD TV when the game clearly was NOT HD! The puck was almost square and you could see the pixels! Then Mikko beat me on NBA 2k9 like he always does. Was good times.

Tomorrow I have my first of three dentist appointments in the morning and then in the afternoon an interview. I could potentially have 3 jobs soon! Wouldn't that be something? I'll keep you posted on the job front.

I did some facebook cleaning this weekend too. It's something I've thought about a lot lately and just came to realize that it's better to let go than to hold on to something or some one that clearly does not want anything to do with me. I deleted one of Tiffany's friends that I never met or knew so that was no brainer and then I deleted her cousin and sister-in-law. Neither talks to me and it was clear I was making them uncomfortable so I made everyone a favor and stepped out of their lives in FB as well. I will never have a relationship with Adriana and I never did so it's not like I miss out if I don;t see her pictures growing up. Carly is tougher. I thought about deleting Amanda too but even though I know I am no longer part of Carly's life it's harder to let go.She's an amazing little girl and I miss her every day but I know I will need to let go of her too soon. It just takes a little more time. And I know I can probably see a random picture of her on Tiffany's FB page or even at Barrie's but it's the last thing I'm stubbornly holding on to. For just a little longer. It could be that out of solidarity Amanda deletes me at some point if they even realize I'm no longer there but that's something I'll need to deal with if and when that happens. I think to me the last straw was the no x-mas cards or not even acknowledging that I sent Adriana and Carly cards for x-mas so I'm done hitting my head to the wall. I get headaches enough as it is.

So as per my previous 2 posts, I signed up for advocate training. It'll be in March in Tampere and I will stay at Saara's place for the night so I get a training AND get some cat therapy! Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Now I am going to watch some TV and then hit the sheets. Big day tomorrow!
