Long time, no blog.

happy holidays!

i love christmas. jason and i were at old time pottery today buying a million picture frames and they had soooo many christmas decorations and they smell so good. i bought some cinnamon pinecones and it's getting me in the spirit.

also getting me in the spirit was the andrew peterson christmas concert at the ryman thursday night. that show was really fun, and so many friends were there! i loved that evening - alison osenga took me as her date, and i felt like a rock star. people kept staring at her, and i realized at that moment that i have famous friends. which is even more fun, because i never think about it until we are in public places and they are being visually stalked. ohhhh nashville.

SO. i am really excited because beginning january 7, 2008, i will be employed by a company called tapeonline.com. this will be my 2nd real job. I can't believe it. i have worked for the same company, goldleaf technologies, for the past 3 years...and that is soon coming to an end. it's sad! but it was time for me to move on. i'm feeling good things on the horizon.

right now, jason is watching transformers, and this movie is TERRIBLE. it's so so bad. I think i realized it when i heard a transformer asking shia leboeuf "are you screenname LadiesMan25513? are you screenname LadiesMan25513?!" and i guess i can see the similarities between transformers and terrorism, but i am getting a little weary of every movie being a political statement about our current situation overseas. it's transformers, ya know? however, they ARE more than meets the eye, so maybe i just don't get it.

for christmas this year, we are going to jason's family's house in tx. i am excited - i love christmas, but it will be my first christmas away from home...and i'm kind of scared. jason's mom doesn't really drink coffee, which is totally fine, but i am a mess without it in the morning. and i feel so high maintenance bringing my own bag of coffee to prepare, so she has to pull the coffeemaker out of hiding just for lil ole me...but i don't know how to explain that it's definitely better to pull it out than to deal with the mess that i become. i think she's ok with it, i just feel bad. always.

we are getting ready to go to a christmas party. did i mention that i really love christmas? i want to wear this sequin cocktail dress that i have, but i would look really silly since everyone else is probably going to wear jeans. i just don't know when i am ever going to get to wear that sequin cocktail dress. ohh...i should call my famous friends...they might have an event to attend that requires a guest adorned in a little shine.

i shall be seeing you -
