goodness...it's been a while. i'm barely ever online anymore! i'm either not home or my sister is already on and i don't have the energy to wrestle her down and take over the comp =)

so friday i baked cookies with jo and deb for some boys =P i didn't get to deliver them though because i had to do some super-speed-shopping--ended up with some ghetto gifts to give people =( so sorry! but i only had an hour and a half to buy presents for jo, jac, and cher since i knew i was going to see them that night...stupid work has been preventing me from doing any of my christmas shopping. hehe...i saw this really cute shirt for cher though...but it's neckline was...rather low..."navel-revealing" haha! then i was stuck at the mall with no ride...but mike came to my rescue! THANKS! it was sort of amusing...i was standing outside of macy's and i saw this car that looked like his, but after staring at the driver's face for like...five minutes, i decided it wasn't mike. then he honked and i looked again...and still thought it wasn't him until i saw this exasperated look on his face. "OHHH! hi mike!" haha...i'm sorry! i was looking for the hair and he was wearing a beanie. slightly caught up with mike, but we'll go hit up a bookstore or someplace stupid to finish our chat like usual =)

aaahh...and then it was time to be with my girls =) i felt really bad again because i had no time to wrap any presents since i was stuck at the mall, but i hope everyone liked their gifts! i liked all of mine ;-) thanks! we all went to "our place", aka macaroni grill...hehe. yay! elusive san showed up too! ehehe...time with my girls always makes me so happy =D even just thinking about it...i'm such a sap sometimes. hehe. jen and i drew some nice pictures for cher on the paper tablecloth of the girls and all our loves ;-) ask jen who bob is. back at cher's, we chilled under the "mistletoe" and played stupid games and ate and laughed like crazy...ah. all i can do to describe it is =D i love you girls! i'm getting weak though...fell asleep at like 2:30! that's ridiculous...i used to always be one of the ones who stayed up the latest...but i guess sleep deprivation is really catching up. almost went straight from there to work the next morning...sucked.

i think i now have a work-related injury. my right shoulder's killing me! i never knew placing sauces on plates was so strenuous. i need a masseuse. hah! like that's happening...i don't even want to think about how much money i spent last night at stoneridge finishing up my xmas shopping. i randomly ran into stan and dylan there too! so coincidental =) i dragged dave around for the last half of my shopping afterward since he wanted to hang out...that part couldn't have been that fun for him since i went through forever 21 and junk =) i think i finished shopping for everyone though...except for brandon. i was so frightened when i went through KB toys looking for his gift...finally just gave up. i think i'll go to toys r us tonight. i don't dare to give him clothes since i know he won't like it at all =P ten-year-olds.

then i went to hang out in exotic danville. ooooh. ;-) we walked around blackhawk shopping center...dang, that place is posh! there's this river running through the whole center from this waterfall...and yeah. expensive. they locked the gate on us too after a while! had to walk all the way around. ooh, the adventures of christina. then we dropped by j's place...haven't talked to him in forever! it was nice visiting =) afterward, dave and i hit up a closed cafe...they had already turned off the coffee machine. whoops. i got some nice hot chocolate though and dave utilized his new fakie... *cough*alchie*cough* =D we finished catching up...it was nice =) although i see him all the time anyway...fellow cardinal!

and now i'm tired. i noticed that all my blogs these days are rather...mundane. i think i'm too busy. no time to think anymore...besides, when you write about events in retrospect, feelings and random thoughts are glazed over a bit. and i think those are more important sometimes =) i've totally lost whatever little train of thought i had before...too many distractions and noises at home. i need to wrap presents. i need to deliver gifts. i need to sleep. actually...i need a shower right now. bye =)
