My December

even though i have a ton of things to look forward to this month.. it sure is dragging boringly by. first this saturday- i am putting together a "reunion" for all the ex-employees dan and i used to work with at mama mia's. we have a group of about 15 people whom we havent seen in months. it should be really fun! =) then the middle of the week next week- we're going back to my mom's for a day or so- run errands and things like that. on the 7th.. we're going to see Pauly Shore. haha.. not too sure why. i mean, when was the last time you heard of Pauly Shore? but we saw an ad that he was coming to milwaukee.. so sign us up of course! i always watch those comedy shows on tv, but i havent ever seen one in person. i plan to laugh a ton! i love comedians. then a week after that on the 15th- we're flying to Puerto Vallarta! dan and i, my mother, step-dad, sisters jorie and shea, and shea's boyfriend sam will all be staying at a resort having a ton of fun! i was amazed to see how cheap it all is! (heads up- expect me to try to figure out that slideshow thing for all the pictures once we get back!) my sisters and i are having fun looking at sun dresses. i have one coming in the mail.. i should get it by next tuesday. they didnt have it in my size, so i got one a size bigger.. i hope it fits decently- otherwise i have to return it and become one day dress shorter. i've been to mexico a couple times before- most recently was in highschool with some students from my spanish class. we started out in Mexico D.F. (mexico city) and saw tenochticlan, the bascilica de guadaloupe, and a bunch of other historical sites in mexico city. we went from there to stay with our travel families in Merida. toured ruins at Uxmal, Chichen Itza, swam in a cenote near Dz'itnup. went to an island off the coast from Cancun called isla mujeres. and somewhere in there visited celestun.. the flamingo infested island. it was fun.. and i look forward to maily relaxing this time instead of climbing pyramids in 110 degree heat. anyways.. we'll get back from mexico the 23rd.. and then of course comes christmas =) i love christmastime! i love seeing family and drinking egg nog.. and eating way too much. and christmas songs. i wonder if anyone carols anymore? i used to when i was growing up- with all the girls my sisters and i were in sunday school with.. i always felt uncomfortable doing it.. but we got cookies and milk at the nursing home.. so- all in all.. it turned out to be alright by the end of the night! and then comes new years.. i just hope i will be able to stay out all night for it. i cant remember the last time dan and i stayed out until bartime.. we've gotten close lately.. but always leave beforehand. which reminds me.. i can also look forward to getting my tee shirt i won off a miller lite bottle! they didnt ask for a size- so i am pretty sure it's a mens large or extra large.. maybe i'll figure out a way to hem it smaller. we'll see.. dan will most likely wear it for pj's or something. and oh! i'll be getting a job by the end of december (hopefully!) and all this time- you've been reading a pre-update on updates to come! hope you enjoyed!
