Holy Crap

So the Napolean post I wrote, uumm ya, I went back and reread it a bunch of times and changed words a bunch of times. I was like, why did I write the word actually? The word so here? I can't stop! I kept minimizing my screen so no one (who?! Tony? Opie?) would see that I was back on there. Not like they would care. They know me. Yup, he just looked. Yup, I am on here.

Napoleon....

Tony is playing Scrabble(0n his phone) against some person he doesn't know and wants to look up letters. I look up the letters and we come across the word epaulettes. I have to look it up because I love words so I read the definition out loud. It means ornamental shoulder piece of rank in armed forces. So as I am reading Tony says, "Oh it's one of those things that Napoleon wore.." And he is touching his shoulder. I said "Napoleon Dynamite?!" All confused cause all I remember him in is his t-shirts. He starts laughing so hard and says "NO, not that Napoleon, the dictator!" Oopsie...

Home for Christmas
















I went home for Christmas! I had so much fun and it felt so good to be with my family and friends. The time went by too quick but I enjoyed every second of it. Seeing my nephew and having him remember me made me so happy! Of course I cried. Geez. I spent most of my time at my brother and Sarah's house but also spent the night at my parents and visited my family in Townsend and that is always a good time! Also hung out with Leah, Christina and their boys. Too many drinks at that outing :/ Christmas Eve was filled with laughs like always and Christmas morning was spent relaxing and watching my nephew enjoy his first Christmas before I left to come back to Cali. Which of course I cried again with my goodbyes. My awesome parents took me to the airport and it was hard to say goodbye to them, again. But maybe all those goodbyes will be my last ones. They sure are hard to say. Can't wait for my next hello's....

CA vs MA weather

It rained today. Which is surprising for Californians! What is even more surprising is that it's supposed to rain for 5 days! I laugh when these people tell me this. Oh no, it's going to be 60 and rainy! Try 27 with over a foot of snow when you step out your front door, or your car is covered in ice and it's negative degrees and it takes foreeeever to scrape it off when you are trying to get to work. I love it cause they have no idea and this amazes me but I want them to know. I want them to experience it! All I can do is tell them and share my stories. I think I am kinda jealous that they have no idea of this weather. If I never knew about it, I wouldn't hate it.

Time with my other fam

I went to LA this weekend to Tonys sisters house. He left wicked early so I drove up a few hours later. My gps took me through a toll road, which I wasn't even supposed to take cause the other way was toll free and I forgot to ignore my gps and came to the dumb toll. I ask how much and she tell me 4.50! I thought she said 1.50, nope 4.50. I didn't have that much cash on me so she had to give me a card(this word causes great laughter in Tonys fam when I say it) and I had to go online and pay it. Jeez! I get to her and her boyfriends house and it's awesome. Just the right size, bathrooms that look like really cool hotel baths, and an awesome fireplace! It was gas and had black stones all over the bottome where the fire came through and the stones glistened. I loved it. His sister, Tiffany, had a garage sale that day and she gave me a bunch of clothes and other things like a huge cat structure for Opie! The thing is pretty cool and Opie loves it. Tonys parents where also there and we all spent the night and I had a great time with his family. They remind me of mine, silly, funny, and they are all very sweet. Well I don't know if everyone in my family is sweet, ha!
