homesick

i've been REALLY homesick lately. almost to the point of tears. i just keep thinking of my friends together listening to xmas music and serving nasty fat customers. i miss them.

i went for an interview at the children's museum today. i was really excited, but it seems like it's just going to be another customer service job. i keep telling myself that i want to get a 'real person' job because i'm out of college and i have this degree i should be able to do something with. but here i am. i love playing with children all day, but i need something more. i'm happy i moved out of asheville, but i think i needed some place much more different. winston is nice and i'm happy but i think i could be better off somewhere other than north carolina. i want to move to boston maybe to be with my zoe but i'm too much of a wimp to live in that cold weather. i think i'm setting my eyes on arizona or new mexico. if geo decides to move back to texas for real, i would really consider it.

thanksgiving break

so lately...
thanksgiving was nice. sean and i went over to anneliese's home and i fixed apple and pumpkin pie. everyone said they were good. but i know the pumpkin was too dry. ava also joined us. matty and anneliese's new baby. she's beautiful.

i also went to see the dead sea scrolls in raleigh. it was pretty amazing to see one of the oldest things on this earth. there were too many people there.

hmm... and i bought a washer and dryer. it is so nice. i think it will change my life. i will not have to save up my quarters and bring laundry home. yah! it makes me feel wonderful. not grown up like gail said, but more complete. my life is coming together in winston. i'm hoping for some new adventure. although i had a fit this past week. i got so homesick it hurt. i'll be alright.

i'm now trying to get together all my xmas presents for everyone. i'm about half way done. i've gotten my close friends and sister about finished. they need their final touches. but everyone is getting inexpensive items seeing as how i have NO money. but i think they'll appreciate the thought. i'm going with themes this year. it makes the present a lot easier.

oh asheville

so, i'm back from asheville/brevard. i had a marvelous time. i can't believe how cold it is right now. biltmore on saturday was pretty windy and cold. we did the rooftop tour since we've seen the house before and the roof was chilly. here are some pics...







i also got to see my amazing friends. i miss them so much. i have to miss thanksgiving dinner with them this weekend because i have to work. blah. sucks.

margarita wednesday

I'm going home this weekend for mama's birthday. we're going to the biltmore and attending one of the seminars on how to decorate for christmas. should be fun. i'm excited.

i'm supposed to go on an interview for a nanny job today! i can't wait. i need just a few more hours a week. i'm so happy playing with kids all day. i really think i want to attend grad school for art education. the only thing is that i'm so tired at the end of the day. those little guys wear me out. i know it's not the job i went to college for, but i think this is what i want to do. we'll see if it wears me out too much.

mamma mia here i go again

i couldnt sleep last night. I was up watching mamma mia online again. i can't get enough of abba. I seem to go to sleep at nine and wake again around one and cant go to bed.

anyways enough with problems. kylie was here this weekend. we had a good time. Shopping and pedicures were the most exciting parts. thats what kylie wished to do, so that's what we did.



I forgot one more thing I want everyone to watch...
