Christmas is comming...

Ok so Christmas is just around the corner and I think this one might me good. The holidays are rough these days because my family has suffered a major loss. This last July my Aunt, my mothers sister passed away. So most of the family is still morning and well it just makes this time of togetherness tough. She wasn't here in San Diego but that didn't make her distant. Thanksgiving was a fiasco but I'm hoping for the best for Christmas... even though we haven't had the best track record. Last Christmas my uncle was rushed to the ER, turned out that he had diabetes and could have gone into a comma for not caring for it correctly...Still I'm praying for the best this year. This year some things are going to be the same and somethings will be different. Same- Christmas eve will be at my grand parents house with the entire family! Chaos same as always, Christmas morning will be at home where I will turn on the T.V. to that channel that has the yule logs burning... Its a Mavi thing... I know I'm a dork! And then we will head over to the Roberts (my sisters best friends family) for Christmas dinner. Different- were going to Disney Land!!! Two days after Christmas and were leaving the little one's behind... So me my sister and kika are going with my parents and kika's parents! Oh I can't wait!! I haven't been in forever and to go without the responsibility of the kids... it's like a vacation! I love the kids but to go places without them... well it's nice! Hahaha :)

Last nite...

So this weekend was full and a total blast! Covenant had their high school Christmas party on Saturday nite! It was a hit... fun was had by all! Cookies were made and songs were sung and Lizzy turned into St. Nick! hahaha! Cookies were eaten root beer was drunk and Brent danced... yes he danced and I have video to prove it! HA! Anyway, it was a great time of joy and fellowship. Then there was Sunday... where I slept through my alarm, making it only to Sunday school at church. Then April an I were off to the potluck! It was great! There was amazing food and fabulous fellowship! Mark and I played pool, yes I showed off my mad pool skills! yes he beat me! but whats new...? Hahaha... April and I found out that were more alike then we could have possibly imagined! We both suck at pool we both like to drive fast and we both want to go sky diving! there's more but why bore you! Haha!!! Then there was the christmas concert, the cookies and coffee were very good! But then they ran out so we ventured out to starbucks... We mocked Mark and guessed nick names off chris's phone, ran into people we didnt expect to see, had a fire truck and abulence arrive (no not for Mark)tee hee hee! All in all I had the best time Ive had in a long time!

It was great!

Well the Holiday party was a smash... even at these early hours of the morning people are commenting on how fun it was. It was at the SHOUT HOUSE downtown. Everyone looked great. It was a black and white party so every one looked classic! The food was great and so was the company! Im new to the whole company holiday party scene, so I can honestly say this was the best one so far. Last years was at the J in the rehursal room. Then Mel and I left to go hang with the Thursday nite crew. They were playing cards at a friends house... sounds normal untill you realize that this friends house is under construction and that ther were no lights so we brought stage spot lights to play by... It was great! Cant wait till next year, maybe by then I will have a date ;)

The Holiday party!

Im so excited for this Thursday. It's my works holiday party and it will be at the Shout House downtown this year. Its a black and white affair! So my roomate and I are getting all dolled up to go to this thing. We wont be there all nite mostly because more then half the people there will be enjoying the free bar that will be available to them. But I love an excuse to get dressed up... then we are going to go meet up with the thursdays nite crew who I believe will be playing poker some where...

So Im sick...

The cold I have been fighting is here. I lost the battle and now it's killing me. To top it off , Im at work not in my bed where I should and would love to be. Ive had a large cup of coffee a bottle of water and now im working on a sugar free Von Dutch energy drink... Im sure its not the best combo but I gotta stay awake some how... I have no idea if the next shift can come in early or not...Awwwww I wanna go home......

What an inspiration...

OK so you know how you go through life and some times you hit a "rough patch"? Well I've hit one of those so called "rough patches". It has been rocking my little world. More then I had thought... well honestly I never thought I would respond the way I have. I have always envisioned my self so much stronger then I'm turning out to be. Not to say that that's good or bad it is what it is. But a gentle man (with out his knowing) made me realize that every one has problems big and small and it's all about your attitude towards them. This gentle man has brain cancer. He has a pregnant wife and two small children. He is so full of life every time I see him. He called it his cancer an adventure. He said,"Some people go climb Everest and he battles brain cancer." What a comment. It made such an impact on my heart. So here is a bit of advice for all those who are like this gentle man and myself, going through a hard time. Think about the worst thing that could have happened to you then realize that it's happening to someone else.

Oh, The Weather outside is frightful...

OK so I'm sure most people here in Sunny San Diego are way excited about this weather... but it's killing me. My allergies are all funky and acting up and I think I'm getting sick, AGAIN! I don't get sick often so to have it twice with two months is terrible! I hate being sick... I cant afford to get sick I'm already taking four days off to go to Disney Land just after Christmas. Im so tired today. I wanna go home, curl up in my bed and go to sleep...

Baby bumps...

I’ve seen five; make that six baby bumps this morning… I wouldn’t consider myself baby obsessed by any means. I want to have children I’m just in no rush. But there seems to be some maternal part of me that cry’s out every time I see a pregnant woman. I suppose it could be the biological desire to just be pregnant. I can only imagine what it must be like to have that kind of connection with another person, to have a baby be growing inside of you… Either way, It’s all going to have to wait.
