welcome to wherever you are

christmas is over. Disney is over. Both were awesome, for the record; I got to spend some great times with my fav cousins ^_^ in my favorite place in the world. i'm already thinking about the next time i'll get to go to Disney (though i've already been there TOO MANY TIMES but who really cares?) and while i'm feeling sad that both of those things are over...i still have eight and a half days left of freedom. and if that was the beginning of a regular old break i'd be thrilled right now. so i'm going to think of it that way instead of being sad about everything ending.

i've been getting to see my 516 loves, though i miss the crap out of Gauri since she's been in India since she left my house, practically. and while i don't want my freedom to be over, i am excited to see all my Salve loves. that's the way it always goes. i must sound like a broken record. i'm working two days at State Farm next week and i get to meet baby Gracie on Monday!!!!!! and provided we don't get snowed in, Aunt Viv and Uncle Jay are coming tomorrow and i haven't seen them since my dad's birthday in JULY. i think i'm in withdrawl. the cousins are coming too and we'll get to talk in "E-language" like we did in Disney; "E-language" is something that Joe and his friend essentially made up. you say a regular word but replace every vowel in the word with the "E" sound. it sounds so stupid, but once you get going with it it's hilarious.

and today we had breaking news that leaves me unsettled. it's almost as though the situation is wishing me...Surprise! Happy New Year! but in the most sarcastic sense. but at the same time, it could turn out exactly how i want it to but i don't want to get ANY hopes up. because when i do that then..all hell breaks loose, pretty much.

but there is nothing i can do about it right now. so i may as well enjoy my remaining freedom.
