Thursday Thirteen: I'm Excited!

It's Thursday, which means it's time for the Thursday Thirteen! This week I decided to list 13 things I'm excited for!


1. Scarves! I finally learned how to crochet and have been doing it almost nonstop lately! I sit at work and do it while I take calls, and I sit at home and do it while I watch a movie. I'm going to use this to my advantage for Christmas gifts, as the scarf I'm currently making for my roomie is turning out beautifully!
2. Josh's Birthday. The boy thinks people forget him, I want him to have a really good birthday so I'm going to throw him a party! Even if we do end up combining it with Thanksgiving, it will be a good time!
3. Thanksgiving. Josh and I decided to host a Thanksgiving dinner for our friends the day after Thanksgiving. I figure Thursday we'll be with family, so why not designate Friday for our other family, the ones that aren't blood? I'm so excited to do some cooking! I've been watching the Food Network all week, and I'm absolutely craving Turkey! Also, I get two whole days off from work for the Holiday (surprisingly, for Christmas I only get one) and I'm excited!

4. Being a Tier 2 for this Tax season. They put me in the Tier 2 queue to take escalated calls from the Tier 1 agents, and it's been awesome so far! I like teaching, so for me it's an opportunity to teach the new people and help them advance as well! It still may only be a seasonal job, but at least come April I'll be able to put Tier 2 on my resume next to "Job Title" and I'll have better luck looking for future jobs.
5. Matthew should be coming over tonight! I haven't seen him in weeks and I miss the hell out of him. I called him on my way to work today to make sure he was aware of the Traffic in his normal commute (which he missed since he crashed in SLC last night) and asked him when he was going to come see my new apartment. He said maybe tonight, and I'm excited to see him!

6. The Bayou. Josh and I were watching the Travel Chanel where they were cooking up some Cajun food. In the midst of our drooling, I decided to turn to my old friend Google to see if there were any Cajun restaurants in the SLC area. Low-and-behold The Bayou. I know my friend Sheena had invited me to the Bayou on several occasions but I never made it, now I want to go very badly! Sounds like she's game to go this weekend too!

7. Payday is tomorrow! WAHOOOOOO! Monies YAY!
8. Christmas Decorations. I can't wait until I can put up my tree and my decorations in my new apartment, I'm so excited!
9. Making Christmas Gifts. I think I'm going over to my gran's tomorrow to finish up a lot of the presents that I'm making. I'm so excited to have them done and ready to go, but I'm even more excited to be giving them to people!
10. In-N-Out Burger. I just saw on the news this morning that the first two branches of In-N-Out to reach Utah will be opening around 10am today! I'm so psyched! I can't wait to make a trip down and get me an "Animal Style" burger. Also, Josh hasn't ever tried it, and he's been missing out!
11. Getting a fish! I really just plan on getting a Beta fish but my friend who is supposed to go with me to pick them out (I'm actually waiting to get one until he can go) has other things in mind... We'll see how it turns out.
12. New Years. Can you say killer party much? Totally have to have one...
13. Buying myself a new camera! It's much needed and I think I'd better fork over the money before Christmas so I can take pictures! I don't know if that will actually happen, since I'm broke. One can dream right?
