christmas


i hope that everyone had a great christmas. we sure did. it was simple, but good. i couldn't get to work today b/c of the icy roads. the roads out of my subdivision were blocked off, so i decided to be safe and stay home. i finished Twilight last night (excellent book) and am going to start the sequel later on today. i can't wait for my mom to start working again or at least for her unemployment to kick in. this is really hard. we're hanging on to hope right now.

oye vey

Yesterday was crazy. It was a mess of train rides, walking, walking, getting a little lost, bus ride, walkling in circles, cheerleading competition, yelling, bus ride, dinner, fighting, bus ride, bulls game, bus ride, walking, train ride and then finally car ride. We didn't get home until after 1am and i'm just worn out. the bulls game was pretty cool, except that our seats were in the very top of the arena and when i say top i mean top. i sat down in my seat and immediately had to get up. i felt like i was falling forward -- i couldn't look down. that was not good. i was going to stand in the back walkway area just a long as i could hold on to a wall. i eventually sat down in some seats set out for the handicapped and had no problem watching the game from above. it was just the incline of my original seat. i felt like i was falling. i did enjoy the game, it was really entertaining once i stopped crying and was able to breathe again. i'm just glad to be home and warm.

friday

so glad that the week is over and my holiday section are almost complete. this weekend is going to be very busy. we are going to my cousins cheerleading competition at the united center and staying for the bulls game. my mom didn't want to go at first, but we all decided to take the train up to chicago and she agreed to go. i hope we have a good time. sandi sent me this really cool link it sounds like a really awesome project. i just wish it wasn't $18. free would be so much better!

oh and my mom bought me "twilight" so i have started reading that. i'm just getting started, so i can't form much of an opinion as of yet.

IF: balloon


this is my first attempt at illustration friday. this is just a little i did really fast. i had a really crappy pen, i mean a really crappy Martha Stewart pen. Frankly, I'm disappointed in Martha on this product. anyway, this little birdie is just too chubby and needs a little lift to get some air.
