Today was my first day back to work. Part-time for the moment, but still a big deal. Maternity leave was quite nice and I loved spending so much time with the twins, but I was beginning to become restless. Of course I feel terrible leaving my babies to go to work, but I know they are in good hands while I'm at work. At least the holidays are over for now so there's a lot less stress.

Oh, and my husband sent me the most lovely flowers as a surprise and that certainly brightened up my day!

W e l l it's almost time for that annual stampede we call Black Friday.

(Ready your combat boots, Verity!)

I don't have any special sales going on, I learned that lesson the first year I was open. So much broken merchandise! Does Little Timmy need a toy that badly, hmmm?

n o, he does not.

Still, it's almost fun, isn't it? Almost like -- like those gladiators in Ancient Rome or something. Watching people go c r a z y, elbowing each other out of the way to get the best deal. So barbaric!

But I avoid the carnage as much as possible in my own store. Privately owned and all, I have to pay out of pocket for damages. Such a nuisance.

Seems like this month is going by so fast!

I've got the decorations ready to hang up for Christina's birthday party. Doing all of this while moving is a bit stressful! If anyone wants to show up a few minutes early for the party to help me decorate, I'd appreciate it!

2-4pm on Halloween. You're welcome to hang out a bit afterward, but I have a feeling Christina will be ready for a nap when it's all said and done!

Can't wait to see you here!

There are too many of those reality competition shows. Now they even have ones for kids. I already feel untalented enough watching the skills adults have. I don't need to see 10 year olds cooking amazing meals or designing clothes. At least I have eternity to figure out my skills.

I have a babysitter for Halloween.

I HAVE A BABYSITTER FOR HALLOWEEN.

I'm taking Beth trick-or-treating (for my own selfish reasons, I admit, as she's still a little young), and then my mom said she'd take her for the rest of the night.

I'm a bit beside myself right now. I love my kid, but I haven't had an evening to myself in ages.

I've been told that this is the place if you want to get to know people and make new friends. Strange how having a one-year-old makes you long for the company of people your own age, as wonderful as their company is.

Anyway, hi, everyone. I'm Quinn Fabray.

I have a hard time believing that these are real.

I saw the commercial when Christina and I were watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on YouTube, and thought it was a spoof.

While, like any Canadian, I feel there is something fundamentally wrong with a hockey opener being played in a region that hit triple digits this week and is in the middle of a drought, I was still pleased to see last season's Stanley Cup champions be soundly shut out.

And although I was born in Toronto, their abysmal failures and my studies in Montreal allowed me to shift my allegiance to the Habs with little difficult, and it was heartening to hear of their win against the Leafs during their opener. I say hear, since of course, living in Southern California, I am now unable to watch Hockey Night in Canada, or any games not airing on the NHL network or NBC Sports, which are both cable networks that I do not have access to. Furthermore, one cannot be assured that hockey will be airing on the television at a bar, as you would in any Canadian city.

Truly, the OC is a new circle of hell Dante could not have foreseen.

I forgot what college classes were like. Kinda fun, actually, following Caroline around UCI today. (Thanks to my Sister-in-Law for watching Christina while I did.) Kinda thinking maybe I should go back to school. I've got some money saved up, and I get a monthly check from Christina's father to help cover her expenses... it seems like something I should do.

But what would I study? I have no idea.

I think I'm going to have Christina's birthday party the day after Halloween. She wants a tea party theme. So, does anyone want to dress like the Mad Hatter and surprise her?

Bored out of my mind.

The last fun thing I did and can't completely remember was Harry's Party.

The last fun thing I did before that was.. well. That's between myself and the lovely lady I did it with.

Who's up for Vegas?

My jet sits twelve. Takes forty-five minutes to get there.

Anyone?

Bueller?

I am so excited now that every single one of my siblings are finally back in the same area! I don't think the OC fully understands what they are in for with all us Mikaelsons back together. There may be some shenanigans and debauchery - okay, I lied - there will be.

However, it'll have to wait for weekends since school just started back up and I am in my last semester. I am so ready to be done with all this and just start working as a teacher. Let's get this done!

Bed rest isn't as fun as one would think it is. But I'm making it work by also working at the same time. I don't think my doctor intended for me to have meetings on the phone while in bed and working my normal hours, but I'm going to. I can't just sit around the house doing nothing until the twins decide to make their appearance in the world.

I must also say that eloping was probably the best thing in the world. The stress of planning a wedding is lifted off my shoulders and I can slowly make plans for a real wedding and not have to worry about anything. My last name is changed and the twins will have Anakin as their father on the birth certificate and that's all I really care about. But I must admit I'm excited for a real wedding in the future so I can wear my dream gown.

But I do have to say I'm really missing being able to have a pumpkin spice latte.

Christina just plain WOULDN'T SLEEP tonight. What's up with that? What happened to my good sleeper? She's driving me nuts today. Tonight. At least she finally went down, but man.

I was aware I'd put on a few pounds, but after getting on the scale just now... let's just say I'll be starting up a morning jogging routine. Maybe an evening one, as well.

And should definitely keep the donut shop off the route.

So I had my first dreams last night. Supposedly I was married at some time and Atlantis is real.

I have to say it was interesting, I would love to do the work I was doing in my dreams, it seemed absolutely fascinating.

Elizabeth
So did you know that you were my boss at some point in this dreams?

Sam
So I'm dreaming of the Stargate. You were amazing in that dream. Is that what you're dreams are of?

Have I made the right decision to hang up my spurs? A lot of the news today was difficult to... well, I wouldn't say ignore. I can't ignore it any more than I can ignore the stories coming out of the Middle East. These ones are closer to home. But I made a decision to help in other ways. It may take some time before I cease to second guess myself.

Then again, what's new about that?

Just hit a woman with my car.

But don't anyone worry-- she was just fine, didn't even get a dent.

And the woman was okay, too.

I bet this sort of thing happens all the time here. It sort of happens all the time in New Orleans, too. Crazy pedestrians everywhere.

On the upside, my new penthouse is sublime. Thank you, Newport Beach, for the beautiful water-front property.

Sorry I've been away, everyone! Between kitten proofing my dorm, classes, studying, and looking for good charities to volunteer for I've been absolutely swamped!

What's this I've been hearing about explosions and property damage? Have they caught those responsible?

ARE WE UNDER A TERRORIST THREAT?

HAS THE PRESIDENT BEEN INFORMED?

WE CANNOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN, PEOPLE! WE AS A NATION NEED TO FIGHT BACK AND SHOW TERRORISTS THAT THEY CANNOT WIN!

I AM ORGANIZING A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IN MY AREA! I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! TOGETHER WE CAN KEEP THESE STREETS SAFE FOR OUR BELOVED COUNTRYMEN! OUR FAMILIES! OUR FRIENDS! OUR FELLOW PATRIOTS!

Shit! That fucking hurt. Just woke up to a super horrible pain in my chest, right where Damon drove a stake through it in my dream. Now, I've known for awhile that Damon killed me in my dreams, because the asshole told me to spite me because he told me, but actually dreaming it was something completely different. For the record, it was an incredibly big asshole move. I come to visit Stefan for his birthday, like I did every year and Damon goes and sets me up and then kills me to save his ass. Real nice.

It's weird though cause I'm still human here. I would have thought that, that'd be the last dream and then I'd change, but I'm still me. Weird.

I've seen the lengths that people go to while planning first birthday parties, and I'm not sure I can do something like that. I was thinking something small, something fun for the parents, but nothing huge. She doesn't even have friends, she won't remember it. So long as we get some cute pictures, that's all I really want.

Right? Does anyone else think that sometimes people go a bit overboard for first birthday parties?

This is where I'm supposed to help find a date for my excellent friend, Sharon. Except it looks like she's found a date.

Regardless, Sharon is a wonderful woman. She's got a lot of things to give to someone. And she's hot. She's a lot of fun to be around. She's got a sense of humor, and she's not shy. Really she's kind of perfect. Makes me wish I was kind of gay.

This is her:

I don't know if it is because of Father's Day or what, but I had some of those crazy dreams again last night and apparently I was going to go see my dad.
Like I really needed to be reminded of him today.
I never got there though because I found a dead body. As if that wasn't bad enough turns out the body was my boyfriend's sister. All this tells me is trying to see my dad is never a good idea.

But anyways Happy Father's day to all the
good

People need to stop me from cooking. Or even entering the kitchen. I tried brownies from a box... I have no idea how they came out so hard. Like fudge. Not burnt, and not really dry... just dense. What did I do wrong?

A few observations about my dreams.

01. I can't believe they turned Captain America into a fugitive.
02. I'm really bad at going undercover.
03. I really, really hate HYDRA.

I think I burned my hand while hard boiling eggs. Not sure if I should go see the doctor. Definitely not worth an ER trip. Too much fuss. I should call my sister-in-law. She's a nurse, she'll know what to do. But that means admitting that I did something so stupid as to burn myself while boiling eggs.

Quite the conundrum. Also, typing this hurt a lot.
