Goodness, that was such a night and I hardly wrote about it!! I was probably too busy making out with Vinny to actually write in my journal. What?!? So many Christmas decorations. So much food. I remember being completely in awe when they had spaghetti for Christmas Eve dinner. And I learned about Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey. Everybody was singing it and I had NO idea what the heck was happening. It was my first Italian family Christmas and even though I started out terrified, it was freaking awesome! Kinda wish it didn't go by so fast. And Vinny's little brother gave us a Christmas card. It was so sweet! So there I was, the Oregonian sitting with this New Jersey family. Probably the only one without an accent. After that holiday my mom told me that when we get married I need to sign a prenup because once you marry into the mob they don't let you out!
Wasn't it all so much fun just a short bit ago? And then suddenly its getting all read and sad. Only 2 pages to go. From here on out it is friends exchanging addresses (because what was email?? We didn't have that.) and taking photos of each other. And packing. So much packing -- and shipping boxes home. See ya next time, with my box of tissues handy. I'm gonna need 'em!
~ See ya real soon! º0º ~
*Tuesday was usual. I did hot dog cart with Kristin, so it was entertaining.
To sum up Wednesday, I started early, ended late. I guess it wasn't that bad - it is the hot dog cart after all. I got my break at least, unlike Monday. Scott tried to get me to extend - yeah right. He failed. By the time I was done banking out I was 1/2 hour off schedule. Ryan came & visited us at Splash. I got to do the normal hot dog cart (by Pecos) after my break.

After work (it is now Christmas Eve) Vinny picked me up at Vista Way & took me to his house. Scary! I had to meet: his mom, grandma, sister, 3 brothers, a set of in-laws, a husband, a wife & his dad -again. It was a little overwhelming. Oh - & a cousin. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

We were there for an hour or so, then to MGM. It was closed, so we went to the movies. BIG regret here. If you know me, you'll know why... Bought "Titanic" tickets, but saw "Scream 2". We didn't want to be there 'til 2 am. Why?? We totally should have been at Titanic!

When I got home we opened presents. It was Christmas technically, so it was okay. Plus its the only time we were ALL home at the same time! I got cool stuff: Brer Frog, Xmas Tigger, a piggy bank, bubble bath, beanie Timon & another Tigger thing. We went to bed around 2:30am.
It felt like I was up early Thursday (it was like 10:15am or so) to go to the Magic Kingdom. I never got there. It was full & people were guarding the tunnel entrances. Technically I was in the Magic Kingdom on Christmas - just backstage. I'll take it! I ended up having lunch & coming home.Ugh, this is so sad. I don't want to write it.
I started packing. Oh yeah - David & I talked at the bus stop. I told him to say "bye!" before he goes home. I took a quick nap then cooked my Christmas dinner: mac & cheese, tater tots & Bisquick. I also called Grandma & grandpa. They're anxious for me to come home. Grandma assured me that I did see Cody & Frank Gifford. They were driving in a truck at the Polynesian on my way to work.
I hit PI by myself. It was dead. I was there only 1/2 of an hour. Boring & raining!
Friday, I kind of slept in. I wimped out of going to the Post Office, so I went to the Marketplace instead. Did some shopping, then ate dinner. The nasty bus driver kept hitting on me on the way there. Of course. Nobody was ever actually hitting on me - except a gross bus driver. I wanted Vinny with me then so bad. Quame said John got terminated today. We're all dropping like flies here.
