It's POURING

It's been raining so hard today. Like SUPER hard. I went out in the rain to get the mail a few minutes ago and the mail box is about 30 seconds away and I came back drenched! Good thing I wore Vince's jacket for an added layer of protection. LAWL.

In other news, I'm currently listening to Christmas music! HEY, I don't care if you hate it HATERS, I enjoy it at least a few days out of the year while you HATERS get to NOT listen to it for at least 362 days out of the year... unless you work in retail or hang out at the mall a lot and are forced to listen to it then I guess I understand. It just feels so nice in here right now! It's raining, the Christmas tree is standing straight and shining with it's purrty lights, the Christmas music is playing. It's very nice! A very nice way to spend a FABULOUS DAY OFF, being lazy and doing absolutely noooothing.

So Christmas is 5 days away! How exciting.. I get to work it of course but whatevs. I hope I get to work A LOT. This year has gone by super fast! I was trying to remember all the good times and stuff but I couldnt cuz I forget everything but before my phone died I transferred all of the pics onto my comp and I got to look through them all. Some people think I'm a creeper for taking pictures of everything but that's how I remember all the things I did!! I'll pick my favorite ones and add them to my END OF YEAR BLAWG POST.

In the mean time, I think I will nap... OH YEAH but before I go... check these cute lil videos out... gigglesnort

GingerBRAWL

No no, Tyler and I didn't get into a fight (loooool) Last night Vince and I attended and competed in GINGERBRAWL! It's a ginger bread house building competition hosted by the lovely Davis family. The competition, as it is every year, was FIERCE!

Chewie and I teamed up last year to build sleeping beauty's castle which got us first place.



The year before that Vince won with Wall E. I can't find a picture of it but it was super cute! So this year I had, with the help of Vince, THE COOLEST IDEA EVAR. But unfortunately I was not able to execute it because I just wasn't feelin' it. And I wanted to give it my all if I was going to go through with it. I didnt wanna half- ass it, NAH MEAN? So Vince came up with the idea of building a ginger bread house of CARDS.



This is the first time Vince and I ever teamed up for anything EVER. We didn't win. But every one who saw our entry laughed at it's cleverness. I guess it got talked about a lot amongst the judges and was vying for the Most Creative category. But we ended up losing to panda copter ...only cuz it had a cute panda in front of it!!



I think my favorite entry, and every one elses favorite cuz it won People's Choice, was Amy's Queen of Hearts Hedge Maze. She made two candies the cards that are painting the roses red and one gummie bear is Alice herself!! SO CUTE! I heard rumors that if there wasnt a peoples choice category her's would have probably won.



But the winner this year was Chewie, he, with the help of Lona and Noella, built Repunzel's tower from Tangled.



Gingerbrawl was a lot of fun this year. I wasn't in it to win it but next year. OH MAN next year Im gonna win SO HARD it wont even be funny! Well... it will to ME when I see Chewie cry as I knock him off his winning streak!!

Nostalgia

Going through an old blog and found this, which came from a far more beautiful mind than my own.

Dear diary,
Oh how I wish that one day I could just sit in a trash can. Not because i have to but because I want to. I don't know how it will be but I imagine it will be something like flying a kite in the middle of a volcano. The beauty of liberating magesty unrequest upon a rolling hill of frozen roses revealed but through the wincing eye of a clandestined portal. Shall the dreamers lie down only to be denied their sacred embrace. Nay, for even a glimpse of paradise, the briefest taste of ambrosia, enlightens and powers. Oh sweet goo goo bear bring me a dream.
Sincerely,
Maritza

MY PHONE IS BROKEN! It turned off on its own while it was half way charged and now it wont turn back on. It makes me kind of sad but at the same time it feels like I'm finally free of a curse. Now I am forced to look up at the world instead of down at my hand, where my phone usually is. Who knows when I will go get it fixed. Maybe it's better being broken. We'll see!

So my sister is here. I felt the need to drive last night, so I drove all the way to San Marcos and picked her up, then brought her over here so she could spend the night and we could hang out today. Some times you need girl time, something I'm not really a fan of... but she and I are going to go mallin' and she's going to buy make-up and Im gonna TRY not to be extremely bored out of my mind!! She is currently sitting on my floor doing her hair. She had to get up early to get ready. I still dont understand that. Girls are weird. But I'll save that rant for another day!

This week has been an interesting one... I had a lot of fun though. We had our managers Christmas dinner, where our GM treated us to delicious foods and desserts. Then we exchanged gifts and laughed merrily as our GM received a shake weight and started to demonstrate to us how to use it while we were still in the restaurant. We had our Narnia Kids Fair and I got to wear jeans and a T shirt for my entire shift. I face painted mermaids (or sirens I GUESS), fairies, lions and hearts. I made a space shield, we played games, took pics.

In other news, Miley Cyrus taking a hit from a bong? That video was hilarious! You know what else is hilarious??



Yup... this is starting to feel right.
