Home for the holidays

The best part of the holidays, are when people come home!

I was so anxious to get out of work on Tuesday and be off for the new year! This week at work was seriously ungodly. It was horrific. I haven't had such a bad stretch of days in such a long time. ANYWAY, I'm off now so I get to spend time with all of my favorite people!

I've been bumming out a lot, just because I really didn't feel like I got to spend a good amount of time with a few of my friends. Dustin came up from Charlotte and I literally only got to see him on Christmas Eve. I'm going to visit him in April. Robb and D2 are going to make a trip down to celebrate D2's birthday. I'm really excited! What's not fun about getting together with some hilarious friends and spending our birthdays together!? Dustin has been living in Charlotte for a few months now, so he's all settled in. It's always nice to bring home to people who live away. Rhonda and I got to get together over the holidays as well. We had enough time to exchange gifts and meet before she left to go home. She knows how my work schedule is, and she had lots of people to meet with as well so I'm glad we had some time in between. I barely got to see my sister. Hien was only home for like three days before she headed back to the city. I guess I can see her any time I want, but still.

One of my best friends in the whole world is home from Texas. Sam has lived there for about 4-5 years now, and I have yet to venture out there. I'm making moves and plans to go visit him in March. We're going to see The Red Hot Chili Peppers while we're there, and go to the rodeo. I've been spending almost all of my time off with him, because he's in need of support from someone who knows and understands him. I just worry a bit about what will happen when he gets home...he'll be ok. I don't really want to get into his business on here, but it just makes me sad when my friends are going through rough times.

For the most part, my first few days off of work have been busy making rounds with friends! My diet regiment is going well. I lost another 2lbs! Very excited, and happy to say I'm not nauseous anymore, yay!


I've been having so much fun lately, it's hard to imagine how much greater my time spent with my friends could be. Wednesday night, we randomly ended up at Chris's house for a visit and ended up launching fireworks out of his back yard. The neighbors came out bitching and yelling at us, but it was too late. We lit the fuse and ran back. It was great! I was dying, the whole thing was hilarious. What is life worth, without a little fun and a little risk now and again?
