| I'm glad the new year is here.
I am hoping for a better year.
New year's service got me feeling hopeful.
And it was my first new year's with somebody special.
It was wonderful.

| i'm extremely disappointed with the way the Cowboys played today. it was pathetic. and to think, i got all excited after watching "hard knocks". they got too "hollywood". watching the game was so painful...each quarter got worse & worse. how does freakin' OAKLAND win today? gah, i'm gonna hear it from those la boys... today i waited, not joking, 15 minutes in the whataburger drive-thru. only to get some mediocre chicken strips and french fries. i was disappointed again. i feel out of it these days. i don't know what it is. i don't know if it's b/c i'm not teaching. or i'm not in la. or i'm not with the Man. very weird feeling. don't get me wrong, i definitely got to relax and veg out here which was great! and i'm so glad i got to get together with dear friends. i even met one of my high school classmates randomly! such a small (Dallas) world. :) i'm getting used to my haircut now. i think i'm satisfied with it. i'll post pics on FB later. thank goodness for my iphone. i get bored in the bathroom bye! |

| i'm sitting here watching "die hard" (1st one) for the 2nd time in a row. yes i'm that bored. however, it's that good. i don't like watching movies repeatedly, but this movie truly entertains me. the jokes. the score. the action. the relationships between the characters. it's SO good! been meeting up with friends here & there. i'm always grateful to see warm embraces and genuine greetings of "i missed you" and "welcome back". that's when i feel warmth all over.  it's a good escape from the hustle and bustle of LA. i got my magic straight perm done today. thank goodness i have an iphone now. it made waiting completely easy b/c i was sitting there watching episodes of "fresh prince" that my Man ripped for me. i'm excited for the rest of the time meeting friends and eating good food. alright, i should go to bed now. gnite. p.s. rosie..."lucky": it was me.  |

| i'm in TEXAS right now. it's so good to be home. relaxing. catching up is always good. and eating the food i missed. yay for Home. :) |

| so our modem at home "suddenly" failed and so we're in the process of getting a new one. i haven't been on FB and xanga for about 2 weeks now (although technically now i am on it). anyways, i thought i might feel disconnected with the world w/o them, but it's actually refreshing. it's like being w/o your cell phone for a few days. FB had been my leash. it's time to let go of it a bit.
some tidbits of what's going on:
- went to vegas & back. had a fun time with dear friends. i lost about $70 overall, but i'm glad i ventured out of roulette. i actually played 3-card poker & THE BEST GAME: pai gow. i'm playing that from now on (if i go again).
- 9 days until winter break!! wahoo!! i can't believe my semester went by SO fast. as 1 teacher said to me today: "if you look forward, the days go by slowly. if you look back, the days go by fast."
- going back HOME in 2 weeks! i'm SO excited! i don't think i've been this excited to go back since i first went back (after moving here)...if that makes sense. i just want to get away from LA right now. get away from the traffic. get away from school. just...get away. (although i will MISS ALOT of friends!)
- i CANNOT believe Christmas is SO soon! it totally crept up on me! i feel like there's not enough time to go out and do all the Christmas-y stuff i wanna do.
 and it's not even cold here. BOO. dallas seems to be colder these days. - julie's thinking about getting a puppy. i think it'd be good. i like puppies.
- i got paid more this month and they took out more money (b/c my benefits kicked in). no matter how much money i make per month, i still end up with the same amount. need to start saving up as much as i can.
- i really do appreciate my relationships around me. THANKS.
