thank you for 24 awesome compliments on the Nightmare b/4 Christmas quilt pics I posted! Wow, I feel the love.
the job prospect is a done deal! I start in January! I am a scientist again. doing research with a fragrance PhD! awesome. *breathes a sigh of relief* now I'm just nervous that I will be good at whatever it is I will be doing. I will be spending this time between now and Jan reviewing some old college text to refresh my organic chemistry cause this job will be more involved than any other I have had. I'm up for the challenge! bring it on chickens!
This year since I lost my job in november, money is so tight that this is the first time I can't buy christmas presents for my family. that makes me sad.
I'm sure they understand, but I am disappointed. I will buy something small for my little Em cause it's her first christmas. but I still feel so badly that I can't give her more. I would love to see her open presents and rip paper and play in boxes. I love her so much. I want her to have fun.
Christmas is not a big deal to me. but I like it. the best thing about it is I get to cook in my mom's kitchen and eat dinner with family. it's fun when my dad has record wars with my mom and he puts on the monkee's christmas songs or andy williams and when he's not looking, my mom changes it to kenny roger's christmas. and they do this all day. it sounds corny but really it's heartwarming.
I hate all that commercial crap with santa and comparing levels of love from relatives by the expense of their presents. I thought that this year wuld bring back the magic we felt when we were little cause of Em. and I was hoping that Em's eyes would light up and get excited. I think I'm putting too much on myself about this. think of the good stuff, schoolgirl!
well that's all I got for today! my head hurts from those coronas. I only had 2 or 3! gosh, old age, responsibility, and motherhood have made me a lightweight. oh well.
here I am staying positive and giving you the love back! thanks for being such wonderful friends, new and old.
