Do you remember what Christmas was like when you were a little kid. Like REALLY remember??? When as soon as December hit, it felt like a whole other year before Christmas would get here. Each and every day was the longest day, and the month dragged on forever. A child on Christmas never has to worry about finances around the holidays, they go with dad to buy moms presents, and mom to buy dads present, and maybe gather up a couple dollars to buy them a candy bar as a surprise. The holiday travel worries never cross their mind, they just go where everyone else goes, and don't even think about it. They don't need to decide which family to visit, when, what gifts, nope! they just open and enjoy. And what about baking!!! baking is not a stressful activity where you have to make enough cookies with enough variety to make a cookie plate for every single person you know(because heaven forbid you forget someone). You simply make cookies for Santa. Santa is the only reason to make cookies, point blank. The tree, to a child, is put there to zone out into every night, and shake each and every present and inspect them closely to guess every gift under there, even if its not for them. To a child everyone is always happy around Christmas, as we know this it not really true, they think that solely because of the man they see all fourteen times they go to Safeway in December, who stands outside with his red bucket. He smiles and says Merry Christmas, lets you ring his little bell, and gives you a huge smile as you slip a green piece of paper into his red bucket. I mean, EVERYONE is happy around Christmas time right?
In conclusion, i realize that Christmas is pretty much just for little kids which is why I am happy to say that I am in the hospital RIGHT NOW, waiting for my beautiful sister-in-law to have baby Lily. Another child to have fun on the Holidays with. I cant wait to see her face when she opens presents, when she is laughing and running around, and of course when i teach her her first dance lesson. Oh Lily we cant wait to meet you.....TODAY!

will we have a Lily for Christmas?!
As you know, the holidays and 'right around the corner'. Almost exactly one year ago i posted a blog about how much I wasn't in the Christmas spirit, and how nothing around me put me in the Christmas mood. This year is quite different. Although I don't have NEAR as many decorations, or people being like "oooo christmas" every ten seconds, or even as much snow, I am in the mood to share the gifts, surprises (kinda), and time with my family. I am also enjoying xmas with many new people this year who will be in my life forever. Three of which are the best friends I could ever ask for, Jason (of course), Amy and Eddie. Although I am so excited, I realize that xmas is a week and 3 days away, then it will be over. Do you ever feel all that hype is a little.....over the top?, xmas shopping, wrapping, cards, cookies, decorations, money, money, monies!!! then you wake up on December 25th and its over. wild. I cant wait to see how this one pans out.....shoot. speaking of which, i need to (not only finish the xmas shopping) but FIGURE OUT what i'm getting everyone. eeeeexcellent.
Also, I have already come up with my New Years resolution. It is epic and in detail and I cannot wait to start it. (in fact I may start early). I suggest everyone start thinking of theirs, even in the holiday mumble jumble, or else you will find yourself on new years eve without one, and resort to one that is stupid, unplanned out, and impossible to complete like "lose weight" or w/e. so get busy you!!! I will be waiting to hear what they are.
On another note, i simply CAN NOT WAIT for my new niece to arrive. like for reals. i cant wait. so on with the show Amy.... :) jk. although I know you would love the show to go on asap as well. I have a niece and a nephew already, but they live in a completely different state as me, and i have seen my niece like once. wow. I can wait to watch my new niece, miss Lily, grow up just two.....yes TWO, streets down from me. I will babysit her and teach her all my crazy dancer ways. heh heh heh. so the question remains......Will We Have A Lily For Christmas?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The rest of the blog is all just ranting:
Speaking of dance... I had a very interesting and fun show not too long ago. I have a LOT of support there (thank you jay, mom, dad, amy, eddie) and a lot of people supporting in their heart. I wasn't expecting it to be that fun of a show, it wasnt as big, i'm not in company blah blah. but seeing the reaction on the faces of the audience always makes any show worth while. No matter the reason they are there. <3
I am also prospecting a new job in the dance world just down the street in my new little town of which I live. I really REALLY hope this job pulls through. I haven't wanted something this bad (of this context) in a long time.
Had another one of those 'trips' today to phx. yes, the orange vanilla sunscreen-like gloves and everything. more disappointments like always. but someone said "its almost over don't worry" then went on to add "haha i know i know, everyone told me that in a different situation of mine, and it didnt make me feel better" but the fact that they added that part DID make me feel better, so thank you. It will be over soon enough. and all will be well ta ta for now.
