My department was closed this week so I got to sleep in this morning! It was fabulous. I've got family Holiday events this weekend and frankly I'm more than a little excited and nervous about them. I went out for a bit this afternoon to grab a few last minute things for my cousins. Word to the wise, do not break in new shoes when shopping. I think I might have pulled a muscle in my leg.
I really ought to owl Padma and make sure I've got the time written down properly for tomorrow. I'll just check with Mum though.
I hope everyone got nice presents this year regardless of whether they were naughty or nice. I'm making this short and sweet because I think I'm going to take a pain relief drought and curl up with my pillows.

Things to Do
- Buy the appropriate introducing the fit, folk band boyfriend to my family outfit.
- Buy the appropriate dress for jingle ball fun. Shoes are bonus.
- Buy something appropriate for new years.
- Finish Christmas shopping. Why must Seamus be so impossible to shop for? At least I've got aforementioned boyfriends present and the most wonderful best friend ever's too.
- Find quality sleep time between quality friends, boyfriend and work time.
- Steal Aunt Aseema's holiday recipes (or ask the baby cousin Ali to steal them)
Current Christmas Wishes (or just general desires)
- That Stephen's bitch of a boss would kindly return to her department and stop hanging out in mine.
- Some flowers around the office would be nice.
- To obliterate January off the map entirely so I'm not stuck here working while some people jet set around the world.
- Chocolate. Dark and rich chocolate at that. Or maybe some truffles with amaretto.

( Private to Fin )
When one of the guys in accounting starts looking at me like a piece of steak in the elevator because I have mistletoe over my head, I know I've got a problem. Gross! He's like married and has three children.
I officially have standards.

I'm in the Christmas mood! It looks a bit like Jolly St. Nick has vomited some Yuletide spirit around my flat but I don't care. You can never have enough fairy lights and mistletoe. I want to get a Christmas tree but I'm not strong enough to carry it up the stairs myself. Would anyone like to be sweet enough to volunteer to help?
I feel like making cookies and decorating them as well. I love this time of year. It's my favorite. Everyone is always so jolly and in good spirits. I think the only time I more is Valentine's day! What girl doesn't like chocolates, flowers and romance? I really should focus on one holiday at a time.
I need to work on my Christmas Wish List and finish my shopping for all the important people who are getting gifts from me. I did get a few things the other day. I'm not telling what or for who though. My ability to be both practical and sentimental at once has me quite pleased though.

I just got the hottest pair of shoes ever. They're killer! They cost a fortune but they were totally worth it. Retail therapy can turn any girl's frown upside down.
Now to finish another article and figure out what to do about lunch. I didn't mean to spend my whole lunch looking at shoes but they were in the window and I was sort of in need of shoes. Yes, shoes! Shoes are absolutely amazing! Anyone around the office want to bring me something?
I will be quite grateful!

I am currently in a section staff meeting and it's boring. Budgets! What do I care about budgets? I write and they can either shove it in or not. I don't really care. I mean, pies and charts are all sort of lost on me at the moment. Padma can vouch for me not being the most responsible budgeter. Why am I here?
I'd much rather be taking an early lunch break and buying shoes to match the dress I found for the ball. Priorities!
I need to not die of boredom so let's play some fill in the blanks.
1) ___________ is my favourite thing.
2) I like _________________ because ___________________________.
3) I am currently ________________________.
4) The most recent thing I purchased is _____________________.
5) __________ and ____________ went ______________ to ______________.
6)I prefer ________________ after _________________.
7) I wanted to be __________________ when I was younger.
8) __________ smells like _______________.
9) I need ____________________________.
10) Watch your _______________________.

I must have totally been living under a rock. I'm so excited about the St. Mungo's Annual Charity Ball and Auction. Hopefully this will go better than the whole Nogtail endeavor did for Witch Weekly. I looking for a sturdy dress. I must find this dress. Oh god! I wonder which colour I should buy. I mean, I don't want to do white since I was all angelic at Halloween and I was peachy for Nogtail. I think I need a nice bold colour. I haven't even begun to think of cut or design or how I'm going to do my hair.
There is so much to do for work. At least, I'm past my article. The editors have it and I'm just working on fillers and polishing.
For the record, if you decide to paint your bedroom, make sure you have an exit strategy. I'm a bit high off the fumes.

I'm thinking about changing the paint colour on some of the walls in my flat. I'm just so tired of looking at the same thing ever day. I'm torn between Geranium Leaf and Wild Bamboo for the living room. I haven't even started to think about the bedroom yet. Maybe I'll go shopping this weekend and figure it all out. I wish I could remember the name of the interior decorator my boss used when she redid her kitchen. It looks brilliant. A second opinion never hurts on anything.
I got stuck with a shitty topic for the column this week. Section Editor wants a hard-hitting piece and I got stuck with the short end of the stick. I get to write about sexual dysfunction which I know absolutely nothing about. I have to find people willing to discuss their private hardships and how it has effect their marriages, relationships and day to day life from both the perspective of the broken and those who love them. So far, I've interviewed a poor Sod out of Surrey whose wife left him because he couldn't please her anymore. He broke down and told me that some days he doesn't even want to live anymore because of it. He feels like he's not whole and no one will ever love and accept him as half a man.
I think I'm mildly depressed over it.
I'm going to grab a carton of ice cream at the market and some spoons and try to think of some way to make this article not so bloody depressing.

I have the hottest date of them all tonight. Literally, he runs hell so you all better be watching out. I guess I can consider myself written off of St Nick's Good Girl list this year... while I'm at it.
I have to say. I'm not looking to bad myself tonight. I can't wait to show everyone my costume. I found this really brilliant glittery makeup. I almost look innocent.
Happy Halloween everyone! Be safe.

It's too beautiful outside today.
I don't think I can stick around and look at my walls. I'm going to go out and maybe see what sort of trouble I can get myself into. Looks like a day for a park and Frisbee.
I hope none of you were planning on missing me.

There is a big sale at Lady Godiva's Knicker Emporium!
I finished up my big work assignment of the week and did my daily tasks. I think I'm going to take the rest of the afternoon off and catch the sell.
I also need to hit up the less exciting corner store for some food.
I checked weather reports. Zero chance of rain.
September ended on a decent note but I think it's going to be a good October for everyone. I don't think it'll take much to top the majority of September with all the people getting ill, home robberies and general insanity that occurred.
I'm thinking about buying a plant. All these puppies and kittens are cute but I'd probably just kill one. Start small right?

Out of Money and can’t get anything from Gringotts?
Looking to have a little fun because all your normal friends at away getting their pus-filled, rash-covered bodies fixed?
Are you good at poker?
Do you look good naked?
No, I’m not starting a strip club. You’re invited to the first ever Friday Night Strip Poker League meeting located at my place at 8 pm precisely.
Layer on the clothes and hope you’ve got what it takes to keep it on or lose it if that’s more up your alley. Person who wins the most hands at the end of the night will take from a House Pot (with voluntary donations – you got to make a big risk to take it all).
Liquor will be provided but feel free to bring you own.
And yes, I am up to no good.

Because of all the people that have come down with whatever it is, my department is shutting down for the week. I suppose it technically isn't shutting down but we are all doing our work from home and mailing it in.
I'm starting to think I'm one of the few left that hasn't come down with it. I intend to keep it this way. Is there any way to prevent coming down with it?

Deadlines are the root of all evil but I’ve finally finished my article and popped it off to the editors. I have to say the topic had me in a fit of giggles when it was suggested that we do a piece on it. I’m actually quite pleased with how it turned out. I was working on a piece about what a bloke’s undergarments say about him. Yes, you know you’ve all been wondering what lurks underneath that hot guy in the office’s trousers! I’ve decoded and analyzed for all you lovely people out there so that once you get a peak you’ll know precisely what sort of bloke you’re dealing with. You’ll have to read all about it in the next edition of Witch Weekly.
I have been terribly busy with work lately. There is always something though and I can’t miss too many events. I like being on top of things! I felt a bit neglectful by not writing in this thing sooner. My twin senses are tingling. Padma – is everything kosher in Ecuador? I miss you terribly. Don’t you want to come home? You can sleep on my sofa. You know it’s a fold out. I think everyone should join me in this dramatic effort. Help me bring my twin home! You know you’ve all been missing 50 percent of our combined good looks. Do it please.
Lavender, Seamus, and Dean – I think an outing is in order one day soon. Meet me for drinks one day this week? When is the best day for everyone? Obviously anyone not included in this is welcome to join in the triad of brilliance. We’re not an elitist force. Speaking of which – Neville you need to take a moment and calm down. You got far too worked up in your last entry about your apprenticeship. No one knows plants better than you! You’ll do fine.
Buggery! I don’t have much to write at this point. I’ll try to have more to tell you all about next time. Let’s not have anymore babies, marriages or break ups until I have time to catch up on all of it. Actually – fill me in on all your latest gossip. I feel so out of the loop and I know I’m not – I just want to hear your interpretations of everything that is going on.
