i used to know the sound of a smile in your voice

last night was so incredibly amazing. it felt so good to just hang out with my friends again and genuinely have a good time. i actually had fun and really felt happy. lots of pictures - fun pictures with black and white film. i can't wait to finish the role and get them developed. then i can actually finish emma's and amanda's christmas gifts. emma bought me a poster of pointe shoes. it's amazing. i adore it. and amanda bought me a bunch of little things - care bear slippers, lime green gloves, fun kleenex, lime green knee high socks that are amazing. i love my friends. then we made hot chocolate and played apples to apples. paul and ross tried to get me to have a snowball fight with them. i was pretty close to actually going out with them. i love emma's brothers. it's been a long time since i've had that much fun and really enjoyed myself. last night was good.

today would've been becca's 19th birthday. it's hard. and my dad woke up pissed this morning. that was cool. not. our roof is still leaking. then i went shopping with my mom. she actually bought me books and a sweater that is amazingly cute :) and i got a new pair of jeans too. then we stopped by the cafe and my mom had lunch and i had coffee. i'm kinda surprised stef didn't bring something up while we were there but i was ok with that.

oh yeah, working at mops on friday - goodness i love working with kids. and when i hear that the kids will talk about me at home and actually like me, it's amazing. then i got a christmas gift from the moms at mops. lots of food - cookies, trial mix, chocolate, gift card to crackerbarrel... because that's not more appropriate.
