ahhhhhh warm weather....

No, I'm not hallucenating. Within... let's say 20 hrs from now, I will be basking in the Mexican sun .... I CAN'T WAIT. =) I've still got to pack a little bit, and my flight leaves at 7 tomorrow morning... but it's all good.

Although I am slightly sad because I'll be missing TAF New Year's... again. =( I didn't think so many people were going! But, they are. And then everyone's gonna be in Chicago afterwards, but of course, I won't be here anyway. Boo!!! That's alright though... I saw a bunch of people today. [begin: summary that you might want to skip>> Eric and Jeremy flew in around 10 in the morning =P Roger picked em up then got me then we went to Jason's... Chilled there for a while, watched Jeremy break all his darts then ate a GOURMET lunch made with great talent [um, and microwaves] by Jason =D Ummm... drove to Frank's... played mah-jong (hell yea!! azn style.. haha) Did NOT go ice skating (stop glaring at me), ended up at Brunswick zone but didn't really do anything that actually required being at BZ =T Then went to Roger's and had dinner, found Linda n Jason (her bro), ended up playin cards (as always) before I had to go home =( I wanted to go to Vince's but I had to be home earlier cuz of the stupid flight >_< rawrr. So, basically did nothing but got to drive around a bunch and chill. Sniff, sorry I can't stay longer and hang out with the rest of TAF that is coming to Chicago while I'm gone... ]end: lengthy/boring summary<<

ERGH! What is everyone doing for New Year's Eve?!?!?! ... I'll be back home at around 9:30 that night.. =D

I'll miss you guys!!! =)

I'MMMMM... DREAAAMIN OF A WHIIIIIIIIIITE CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAS....

SNOWING'd!!!! =D There's gotta be at least 4-5 inches by Xmas.. YAY =) We went to Maura's today to exchange Secret Santa gifts... Elyse gave me the cuuuuutest lil reindeer from BBW and I got Maura a really pretty necklace from Express. Which she picked out. Yesterday. "Hey Maura, I might give this one to my secret santa person. What do you think??" Heh. Anyway, we ended up going outside and playin in the snoow =D and then we went CAROLING... We made 2 dollars and a box of cookies, LOL. And we also pissed off some Polish lady. She was like mouthing at us from the window, as if we couldn't see her. Bah-psh.

Ummm tomorrow's Christmas Eve =D!! And then Christmas!!! Break seems to be going by so quickly.. I'm leaving on Saturday (for Cancun) and coming back New Year's Eve. Friday I'll see my ROOMIE Franklin, and Jason, and ERIC FROM STL!! (hahaha I'll finally be in town when you come visit!! =D) And then Jeremy... comes for a day and tells me 3 hours before he leaves. (It was for a hockey tourny though..) Anyway, I'm kinda sad because everyone is actually going to TAF new year's this year and I can't. =( Boo. Sorry guys!! Eh, oh well. WINTER BREAK =D

-edit- 12.24 Let's scratch that. Ends up I'm chillin w/ Eric n Jeremy Friday.. wha?? Still need Chi-town get together.. right Liss??? After New Year's? =P I'm really happy about how this break is turning out though.. I'm seein TAF friends, goin on vacation, gettin time to chill out... just one thing missin. Hm.

downtowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn =D

Yes, I finally accomplished my goal of going downtown to look at the lights and Michigan Avenue... It was SO MUCH FUN!!! Except we didn't go ice skating =( but that's okay. We can go next year! In fact... next year, I can DRIVE! (Does that fact scare you guys?) Anyway, it was great. We went to Coach and looked at the 300$ coat for a TODDLER, and the really pretty blue/white purses they just came out with 3 days ago... We also went to Tiffany & Co. where we pretended to be rich... Maura's pointing at random things and saying "Yeah I hope Dwight gets me that for our anniversary..." and the old lady behind us shoots us a death glare. Ah, that was fun stuff. Went to H&M for about an hour =P great store!!

Um, went a bunch of other places. Ended up at the Marshall Field's food court (foodlife) which is REALLY cool because it's a bunch of kitchens and they give you this credit card thing to charge all your food on. You pay the balance on the credit card when you leave the actual food court. Mmmmm yummy. (I'm not really writing everything because it'd be long and some people *AHEM ALEX* wouldn't bother to read the entire post.) We ended up taking most of our pictures on the way back to the car, since all the trees were lit up by then. I've organized all my old pix from the fall and my birthday and all that crap... I guess I can put them up sometime soon, if yall want. Here's one for the road.


Hallowen: Me, Mrs. Depp, and Em =)

PS: TAF gettogether!! Let's say.. Woodfield... January 2 or 3? Yeah??? IM me or comment =D

i am LOVING this

AHhhhhhhhhhhh basking in the glory of winter break... =D and it's actually sunny outside! I always feel so much better when it's sunny. Anyway. Yesterday, saw LOTR3 w/ Anne... freaking 3.5 hour movie. And I had to go to the bathroom for 3 hrs of it... >_< haha. Oh well. It was worth it!! For me at least. Some people don't LOTR and really I don't mind except when they diss it completely... it's like, give it up, nobody wants to hear your excuses. =P

Back on my happy note... heh. Then I went to my performance.. what was cool was that we were performing at the varsity basketball team's halftime. Normally we do sophomore but since the varsity cheerleaders didn't have a routine ready, they bumped us up =D. It was my kick routine and I suck at it but I'm pretty happy with how I did. I basically got my right splits and I only made one mistake, even though I was sick and felt like I was going to die. My mouth got really dry and .. yea... being sick isn't cool.

Oh yeah, and my sister's home. =) Yay. All I need now is to GET OVER THIS @#$*&ing COLD!!!!!!!
