The Return of Hobbes !

Haaa.....

I just came back from a morning run with 2 fellow colleagues.

They've gone running together for a few weeks now, just on Sundays tho. I heard them talking about it last week at decided to tag along. And since they run in Les Tuileries and I live outside of Paris, I decided not to be a slob and take the public transportation, but to use Hobbes instead !

So I asked my colleague who lives not far from the park if I could leave my bike at her place for the duration of our jog.

So hop, I take the bike, we meet at her place and go for a short run.

It really was short. 2 kms apparently. I could've kept going but nah, I figured that with all my pedaling, my sport quota for today would be met :)

We stayed talking for awhile afterwards, I mostly listened, like always.

The ride home was nice.

Since it's Sunday, there's very little traffic. So even biking in Concorde wasn't that scary.

I came back to an empty home. Chéri went to play with the boys, which I already knew, but he had filled my candy tin with plenty of yumminess ! Om nom. After a morning of sportiness, there's nothing like too much candy to make up for it ;D

So Olivier might have to go to Slovenia for his job.

First he had told me it was for just a few days but now apparently it's for 6 months.

GAH. Well, I'll get back to that when it becomes d'actualité.

Work is always good.

I finally started my electrolysis training. :) And since boss lady is on vacation, I retouched my colleagues eyeliner. hehee.

Argh, I need to study my japanese! I'm way behind schedule.

Candy will help me concentrate! ;)

Lentils.

I love lentils.

Just so you know. :)

What has happened lately?

Well for one the weather has turned colder. I've been using my winter jacket, just to show you how cold it is!

I was even on sick leave for 5 days last week. It was ok. Kinda sucked to be alone and knowing that I was losing precious pay, but I needed it.

I saw the first friend I made in France when I started working in Disney, and on two occasions to boot ! Last Thursday she came to our place and I did some lash extensions on her ^^

The products I bought are good. Apparently the glue holds well and the lashes didn't seem any different from the ones we use in Work.

I asked her to advertise for me so that I could turn the things I had bought into benefice. Hoho.

In the evening we went to eat japanese. it was really, really, really good.

Not the sushi, maki, sashimi stuff. Nah, ramen, curry, noodles !! Miam.

On Friday I went to see her at Disney. She still works there and lives not far. I went to see her flat, and we watched "Arrietty" together. I pretty good film. Made me smile and laugh out loud.

She showed me the keychains and jewelry she makes using this thing called Magic paper. The most popular brand is Shrinky Dinks. I was pretty blown away by it !

I started to plan different sculptures with wings or other accessories. So I went to the internet, researched everything and bought me a butt load. We'll see if I ever use 'em....... I'd better..

Anyways, I really had a great time with her, we went to tour Disney Village, we ate at Annette's Diner and went to her place and watched Stardust. Cute film that one too :)

At work, I am no longer allowed to have models for lash extensions, since my boss deems me qualified for pro work. Ok. I don't mind that kind of evaluation :D

That means that she will surely want to put me to work on electrolysis. Sure, why not.

Work is good tho, slow, but good.

I acquired the 14th installment in my WDCC figurines. I bought Santa Jack :D

He is pretty. Not my favorite, but ok.

Oooh ! And we got our credit cards for our joint bank account ! They are all shiny and new ^^

We bought our tickets for Finland last week. Yay ! We are goiiiiiiing !!

Oh all the Christmas foods and treats..... 8D~~~~

I've been continuing letter sending with friends. :) At least when there are some that reply. Sad that they are so busy that they have no time for themselves.. :(

I do miss them..

I reaaaaaally should start painting now..........I'm way past the kinda promised date............gah.

Oh that reminds me.

Olivier's parents want me to paint on their wall :D In their bathroom.

I was touched. Ho.

Umm.. I guess that's all.... Oh no wait ! I decided that Sunday's I could eat candy and desserts and other things good, and that Olivier would be the one to decide on the quantity and quality of 'em. He is the Candy Keeper, the Master of the Treats. He takes hit job veeeeeery seriously :D

I love that about him. He's too cute to be true <3

I guess that's all for today. Don't know what else to say. Nothing's really happened so....

Toodledoo !

Departure.

Whenever either one of us, Olivier or myself, would leave to work or school or an appointment etc, we would always bid our farewells with a hug or a kiss for the sleepy one.

Today I woke up to an empty bed, him long gone, no note, no kiss, no hug, no nothing.

Yeah, he woke up at 6a.m. so what ?! I need my farewell routine !!

Boo....... boohoohoo....

Evil boy.

He must be upset because he wasn't smart enough to buy me a Jack Skellington figurine on eBay.

We almost fought about it because I didn't want him to pay for something I wanted in front of me.

Yes I know, it's silly.

We'll see.

So I haven't been posting alot lately.

I don't know why. Lots of things have happened and .. well.. I haven't had the courage to write.

So now when I write a month later, a lot of details will be missed and so on and so forth.

Oh well.

So I went to Finland from the 15th to the 18th of Septembre.

My best friend got married. :)

I got to put her make-up on, and if I may say so myself, I did a pretty good job at it. :)

It was really awesome how they had planned it all.

I got to meet new really really nice people I plan to stay in touch with. I'm so happy about that.

Oh, I asked for a raise ^^

Finally ! After so long, building up to courage to ask it, how I would ask it, finding the right moment... And now that it's done, I can proudly say that planning and stressing really did matter a lot, because for my raise, I got a NO.

Yup.

Refused.

Denied.

Thank you, come again.

Apparently I need to ask again in January. Fuck this shit.

I was a tad disappointed if you want my opinion. Oh well...

Oh on the good news, I've started doing lash extensions ! :D

I suck bad, but I'm still allowed to do 'em ! yay :D

And I'm being formed in electrolysis.

Ha. Bigger raise, here I come.

So I started Zumba classes !

I'm going with a friend's girlfriend, Cat. She's nice, but I'm afraid we won't be besties. Dunno why. I feel she's reserved around me. Oh well.

Zumba is nice :D

Oh and a while back, I decided I'd contact my friends all around the world. So I sent each one a different e-mail, FB message, letter etc.

Out of 5, 2 answered, and since my second message, no one has written back.

Hmph. Busy lives.

Kinda like me, I know I should update my blog more often, but I don't do it, why? Because it takes time and energy. Yeah, hitting the keys on the board uses energy +10.

Oh well.

Until next time !

Here's a lovely cover of a Beyonce song.

It's actually a song that when it came out, started playing in my head whenever I saw or thought of Olivier. The words couldn't be more true.
