If there's no snow or salt on the ground and it's sunny out I'm hopping on my motorcycle and going for a long ride when I get home. I need to get all the riding in that I can before they start sanding the roads. You know what 40 degree weather is? Perfect winter riding weather!

I called my grandfather today, apparently him and his cousin went riding on Sunday and cousin Robby dressed up as Santa for the whole ride. I wish I was there for that, that would have been so fun.

I'm heading back home to Connecticut next Wednesday or Thursday (most likely Thursday). I'll probably go camping at my uncle's place up in New Hampshire for the weekend, that way I do that before all of my friends come home and I can have some alone time.

Then on Monday, hopefully, I'll be going back to work for the break. Whoo hoo :/ oh how I love to work in a soap factory (Crabtree & Evelyn [your grandma has probably heard of us]). But hey, it's money that I'm not making.

Speaking of money, I can probably get a good 4 weeks of work in (minus X-mas) so I calculate about $1000 over break. And this is just the cash influx that I need to, finally, buy the materials that I need to make my fursuit! Woop woop! I expect it to cost me roughly $300.

That oughta leave me with plenty to carry me over until tax time when I get some money back for all of the damn books and film I paid for in 2011, which will carry me over to summer when I'm back to work. Though, if my friend can pull some strings, I may be interning in NYC. Otherwise it's back to the grinding wheel in the factory.

Oh, I got a Panasonic AF100 and Canon 7D for the duration of winter break. Expect videos on my youtube and prolly some pics up here
