we talked about this'n that and we'll see if he's gonna make it before x-mas or if i'm gonna spend it in IN and OH again this year. i would actually like spending it there. i haven't spent christmas here since my mom died and it's nothing i need to do, to be honest. we'd spent it at my sister-in-law's parents' whom i don't know all that well and it would just be..awkward or something. if i'm over there things are so different and i'm so far away that i just don't feel that my mom's missing 'cause she wouldn't be there anyway. and i love having this big family to spent time with and visit and all. so i would love to go there around thanksgiving and stay until after christmas *dreams*. problems are that a) i haven't talked to my bosses about the possibility of taking unpaid vacation, b) i would loose money not getting paid (duh) and still have to pay rent and all the rest of it and c) jeah - there really is no c).

i actually thought about maybe renting my place to someone for a few weeks or so while i'm gone. and when i told C about how i'm not buying a whole lot of stuff for the new place because of the money i might need for the ticket and all he said that "of course" he would pay for the ticket if i came. isn't he just the best? i'd rather have him here and not let him go EVER again though.. but we'll see.

tonight i'm gonna look at a bench, table and chair for the kitchen and tomorrow is wiwi-jura-party again. tequila for free ;o) and we're gonna party with anne who's leaving for orlando on the 21st. so i'll probably need friday to recuperate (remember - i'm old 'n all) and saturday to go through stuff in the basement and apartment. my sister and i wanna go sell our things on a flea market and have to be there at five in the morning *yawn* but hopefully i'll be able to sell some stuff. i have so much crap, you wouldn't believe it. and i just wanna move with less crap so i have room in the new place for more new crap ;o) now, this is pretty much my week.

and then there's lots to do at work. so you know not to worry if i'm not here for a few days. and i'm doing just fine. and i hope you are as well. SC, hope you recuperated from the walmart-expedition and sannie - hope the moving goes well and red - i hope you're better and send me your book ;o) and mon, we want pix of that tat. oh, and before i forget, you should stop by over at dooce's 'cause she's back with a new design and after a few naps ;o)
