about Christmas time :)

Dear ladies and gents,

I have greatly missed you all greatly since my last post. I know you have been patiently awaiting to hear all my thoughts on the greatest holiday ever created. Christmas time never fails me. Since going to college it has always been the greatest time to come home and relax and see all those awesome people I've missed so much. This year my sis decided to grace us with her presence for only 10 days. Booo. Lame sauce. She clearly doesn't understand how much we love her presence. My sis, Samantha, and our friend Michael and me decided to become artists over break. Maybe I'll post you a picture or two when we're finished. Maybe, if you're lucky. I also tried my hand at the brilliant game of bowling. Oh yes bowling. I currently average about 30% of a perfect score. So basically I fail. Good thing I took Scuba and not bowling at State. Good call Jess. I'm going to visit Sasha baby with CC for New Years. I'm super duper excited. Possibly more excited for my ride down to Chi City with CC even more than the actual event of New Years. But of course, we shall see. K in the words of the great, wise, cuddly Tigger, TTFN!

Love you all my lovers!

about Christmas time :)

...about my hopes and dreams.

Other people call these goals. Sometimes I'm like those other people but right now I prefer to call them hopes and dreams. Because they are exciting and eventful and I'm looking forward to them. These are just a few I've been thinking about a lot lately...

1) I want to scuba dive with sharks. I realize that this is scary and to be honest I am extremely afraid of getting bit by a shark. I don't think that would be the greatest experience in the world. But I do feel that swimming with them could be one of the coolest things in the universe.
2) Open swim. A race. Although with how long I've been out of the pool it would more likely be a race against myself to see if I can make it without dying first. There are a few local races in the Midwest but I'm more interested in Cali or Hawaii. Obviously.
3) After visiting Europe and falling in love with that place I did realize how many awesome places there are to visit in the US and I want to visit them. I want to see the Grand Canyon and Glacier National Park and (I realize this is not the US-but close) Vancouver. I just love traveling.
4) Learn to speak Italian. At least understand it and get to the point of speaking where people don't laugh at you when you speak.
5) Be Greek. Not sorority greek. Real Greek. I think Greek's and their culture is the one of the most fascinating things ever (along with Lady Gaga).
6) Learn to do a handstand. And walk around on my hands. I don't feel that this one needs further explanation.
7) This is a newly acquired goal due to a coworkers dream. Evidently in the dream I was in a boat and guiding a crocodile behind me. I told him this was my crocodile that I train. I now want to be a crocodile trainer. I also want the idea behind the movie Inception to be real so I could have been inside that dream.

That's all I have for now. There is definitely more but that's what has been pressing on me for some time now. That is all of those except #6.

I'll leave you with the words of Walt Disney, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Bye.
[I still need to come up with a unique send off.]
