I'm just waiting to be told I have to shovel snow

The holiday season is finally over. No more terrible Christmas songs on the radio. I guess that's what I'm most excited about. I had the usual Christmas day with the family, that consists of waking up early (10), opening presents, eating breakfast, sitting around the tv reading whatever new books I got (this year = Compliation of 2010's best graphic novels), while my brother naps, my dad watches sports, and my mom cooks. Then dinner, with the typical jokes from my dad relating to me not eating meat, and the whole "oh but those green beans were murdered!" Yep, those jokes never get old. Then we watch a movie...this years was 1982's "The Thing". Very appropriate as being stuck in the house all day (and today, thanks Blizzard), I secretley feel like someone in my house is an alien and (spoiler alert!) I will have to make the choice whether or not I should blow the house up to save the world.
But this was Molly's first Christmas. She ran around all day with her new presents and bones, and ended up a bit cranky by the evening. When she gets cranky, she just walks around whining, wanting to go outside every 2 minutes, only to come right back inside. She passed out during "The Thing" which is good, as she may have been distraught over the dog-alien creatures.
Today she's romping around the snow. She loves it as she can dig without getting yelled at. Molly looks beautiful out in the yard, with her gold coat contrasting against all the white.

So...like the isolation factor in "The Thing", I am going to be stuck in my house for a month with no job and no money. I figured I should try to set some goals, so I don't go stir-crazy, even though that very well could still happen.
GOALS:

1. Reread all the Harry Potter books.
2. Watch all 5 seasons of Daria, including the two movies.
3. Begin to study for the certification exam that one day I will probably have to take.
4. Play the Sims as much as I fuckin want to.
5. Attempt to find a job for next semester.
6. Visit Meg in CT at least once, even if it means I have to hitch hike.
7. Try not to spend all of the small amount of money I have.
8. Attempt to persuade my parents to send me to NYC to visit my cousin.
9. See Black Swan and True Grit
10. And most importantly...try really, really hard not to loose my mind.

I'm not good with goals. Most likley only a few will be accomplished, and they won't be the important ones like finding a job or studying.

But it's the idea that I set the goals that counts? I'm just going to go with that.

Random thought of the day: Who is Craig in craigslist?
