update on things

well i think i got the art teacher job, but because they took so long to get back to me and they dont start until February...i might have to decline the offer when it comes...we'll see how my school schedule ends up so maybe i can do it at least once a week.

i did however have an interview for my old Apple job. i really want it back, but if i accept then i cant be gone for more then 3 weeks at a time and then i really cant go to europe with cassie this summer. but if i dont take it based on that, then i really wouldnt have money to go anyway!

friggen catch 22

over the weekend i gt to hang out with some of my favorite girls. everyone was home!
we met at my house and all layed in bed awhile and made fun of cassie for her usual ridiculousness. then we went and got sushiiiiii! and then we went to starbucks/cofee bean for some holiday drinks and drove around to look at christmas lights and sing carols and laugh until we couldnt speak and me and annie were peeing our pants in kelseys car. it was SO fun. then i beat them at scrabble.

today me and my fam went to see the dead sea scrolls. it was pretty sweet. but it was too crowded and loud and their was a PSYCHOTIC lady with a crying baby who just kept going thru the exhibit like she didnt have a screaming child in her arms who was probably wet or hungry.

my favorite part was the old bibles with big beautiful paintings in them. i love how art and the bible totally go perfectly together. its loverly.

then we got some los primos and visited uncle dan and josi and lukey. but they were having a photo session! so we peaced and came home to wrap presents and drink and watch funny movies. my family is fun sometimes.

tomorrow is christmas eve! i cant believe its already here! im excited!

but im more excited to go visit olivia next week and to go to new york after that. christmas has been hard on me financially and im sick of everyone being off work and it being crowded everywhere all the time...hello, some of us have things to do.

tomorrow i work a half day cause we dont get it paid holiday:( i had it off, but i wanted money so im working 8am-1pm. its going to be very slow and probably no one there, so ill get some reading and scrabulous done:)

i got eye infections in my eyes. they are better now though pretty much.

merry christmas friends.

thanks Jesus.

this week and last weekend has been so crazy fun! my family came into town and we had so much fun! i feel bad for neglecting my friends, but we were doing stuff all the time and it was just to much fun. i havent seen them in years, so its been nice to spend time together laughing and playing games and drinking and doing stupid stuff together.
