How has everyones break been? Mine, well, I'll share some of it with you. Not a whole lot happened between school letting out and the 24th. Jess and I went to the wrestling match that first Friday, but it turned into an upset cuz Big Butt didn't wrestle. Tear. Can't remember what I did that first week, just a lot of work was thrown in there. Christmas shoppers...err... So the 24th rolls around....I'm 18! woo hoo..hoo...yea...right. I had to work that day, but it turned out to be a good thing. At least I wasn't at home waiting for phone calls from people to wish me a happy birthday...and none ever came. Oh well...back at work it was so much fun. So Dan pulls me in the back and he is like...ur 18 now and says he has something for me. He gives me a cigarette. Ha, I guess you had to be there. But yea, Frank let us out at 5. It was so great, we weren't offically closed and we were all leaving. So then I was off to my cousin's house in Indiana. So there we were, listening to my aunt talk about how good she has it...ugh...every little thing she said, I wanted to slap her. So we do our Christmas gifts and everyone is happy. I got the Josh Gracin CD (so happy) and also a gift card to Noodles (yum!) Then we sing Happy Birthday to me, eat pie and then watch Marching Band tapes my cousin brought. He goes to Wheaton Warrenville South and is in their marching band. We all had to leave somewhat early cuz my cousins and fam. had to go to Church. It annoyed me cuz at the last minute they threw my birthday gifts at me. Everyone is lucky to have a seperate day for your birthday, trust me. I got a phone call at 11:17 from Jess stating that I am offically 18. Thanks for that! So that was my exciting 18th birthday.

Oh yes...I almost forgot, you know how my job was only until the 24th...well they kept me on! I hope it isn't until the New Year however... >:O

As for Christmas, same old same old...presents. I got a new TV and also a DVD/VCR for my room, and then all those little things. My dad cooked this great meal that I am still stuffed from!

On Tuesday Lola calls me up and we decide to go bowling. I hang out with Jess for awhile, we go to Baker Square and then watched Elf. Then we HAD to leave at four...hmm... So we get to Downers Grove and go to the bowling alley, turn to corner and WOO....there is Lola, Susan, Lauren and Katie. I was happy...and thank you for the bear, Lola! And to Susan for the pretty smelling shower gels. Both the Ernst's for the cupcakes....they were soooo good! And to Lauren for the necklace. We ended up not going bowling but rather walking around DG. It was freezing, but it was fun. We ate and got some ice cream and those cherries....got to love them! Then we went to see The Incredibles. I liked that movie. And the movie theater...I want to go there more often, its so cozy.

Worked Wednesday...and for today....nothing exciting...again...GOOD NIGHT.
