Mom's Birthday

I'm here at my mom's house for her birthday. Poor mom received an empty box, and a paper doll. Not kidding. My present to her hasn't come in the mail yet, so I cut out the picture, and put it in her card. My sister's present wasn't in the box. It was the last one left and was on display...and they just didn't put it in the box. Hope she at least liked her cake because that's about all she got!

Nothing new really going on. Went to an interview yesterday. Had a follow-up interview in the afternoon. I'll take the job if they offer it, but I really don't want it. Me - Receptionist...not going to happen. I'll do it...and I'll do a good job at it...but I DO NOT want it! And parking downtown sucks!

On my weekend without Gabby JC and I went to my work Christmas party, and it was fantabulous! We had so much fun! Had a little too much to drink, but that's what you get when you decide to drink the spiked punch all night.

We went and saw The Fountain. Weird. That's all I have to say. Visually beautiful, but weird. All you acid takers should really probably see it. On Sunday we saw Blood Diamond. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm being a little bit biased. I love my books filled with history and my movies filled with angst. It's right in line with Beyond Borders and The Constant Gardener. I love those kinds of movies. I realize that they're very "Hollywood", but that's the way it has to be done for most Americans to even want to pay attention to what's going on in the rest of the world. Besides can you get any better than Leo with tons of new muscles and an African accent. I can never remember the other guy's name, but love him too. He was so awesome in In America. And Jennifer Connely has NEVER looked prettier. JC didn't know who she was, and when I said Labryinth he got it, and said, "Yea...she's come a long way."

I'm very nervous still about going to Dallas. I can't wait for Christmas. I can't wait to be employed. (That's what my mom wants for Christmas she said...for me to find a job.) I can't wait to have Gabby out of school for a couple of weeks. JC has one Christmas party this Monday, and another on the 28th. A very busy season...especially compared to last year when we weren't together.

I have plenty more to say once the New Year works its way around. This year will go down as my "Crying Year", and I hope the next one will be filled with laughing...out loud.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
