Winter Break and Kona Coffee Swirls

Seeing as I am a haver-holic (phrase shamelessly stolen from Sam Shain), leaving here for extended periods of time is always kind of bittersweet for me. I'm change averse, and I miss this place, and my friends, and my routine terribly. Plus since I live here, there are always things at home that I seem to be missing or left here or can't find. However, in the spirit of being positive (and also copying Jessi's facebook note), here is a list of reasons why I'm looking forward to break:

• No more work! For a whole month!
• Which means no procrastination, and no feeling guilty for being social because I should be doing something else right now
• Sleeping in my own bed, which is not three feet off the ground
• Showering without shoes on
• Driving around Needham late at night
• Indian food
• Adventures in Boston
• Seeing my wifey, Neelima, and spending all too much time together while she's home
• Same for Charly and Sarah - maybe some pool? movies? food-eating? Friendly's-ing for sure.
• And of course Jessi (speaking of adventures in Boston...also watching movies!)
• And probably Moder and Leah and Peter and Deb and.........
• Work, which leads to paychecks
• Fairleigh is coming to visit!
• And then we are going to Vermont to see Maia for New Years!
• Maybe sleeping in a few times
• Seeing my parents and my puppy (and by "puppy" I mean 12-year-old beardie Delilah who is currently in adorable little diapers)
• Playing in the snow
• Christmas, and hopefully seeing family in CT, which means stories and warmth and a fire and a Christmas tree and delicious beef wellington
• Non-DC food for a whole month
• Not having to remember to water my plant
• Not having to do my own dishes...having a dishwasher at hand is highly underrated
• Boston in winter, in general
• Did I mention paychecks?
• Or seeing friends?!
• Or food??!?!?!
• You get the picture...

Also, in other news, I just got a care package from my parents and just want to say that these things (Kona Coffee Swirls) are fucking AMAZING:

(if you go to Haverford and are reading this come by and get some cause they're delicious!)
