Again, it's been a while. But for once, not for a lack of things to say. In fact, the direct opposite is true.

I literally can't stop listening to this song
I'm not sure if it's the magnitude of B12 I've been consuming or just the fact that there's honestly nothing wrong with my life right now, but I can say without question that I've never been this wholly happy. I have my family, my friends, a perfect job, a perfect smoof, and a surprise from the future that made me cry. I half wish I could just freeze time in today and live in this moment for forever. But know what's great about everything? I know that I can't, and I know that there's something better to come. Yes, I am about to move away from everything and everyone that I love, but just to hop over to another passion. I'll have my Andy, I'll have Oregon, and most importantly I'll be submerged in education where I could potentially have the chance to make a positive impact on billions of lives. Maybe I won't work at my truck with those who have unwittingly shaped my life, but I'll carry on those beliefs and attitudes to, hopefully, my next kitchen job. I can't stop bragging. Life is good.
Thanksgiving was ages ago, and I've lost track of everything that happened during that time.
Work is beautiful in every single way. Michelle came to work with us and, honestly? She made all the difference. I don't know what to do next season! She did major prep work every second so Wednesdays were easier and I not once had to prep anything after stocking the truck at night. Plus, we listened to killer girl power music on Tuesdays (like that Le Tigre track). Our end-of-the-year dinner was so much fun- latkes, kombucha, George Michael, shirt switches, and pant losses. Oh and dancing with my baby Boom-Boom.
I see Andrew every night, and not just because I need help with my iPhone. 600 vs 49? Yeh, besties. Probably the only person that I could survive living with, and here I am! About to move in!
First ever Hanukkah party and I brought food and I think that really is the way to, well, everyone's heart.
Christmas Eve was wonderful and for the first time EVER my mom let me bring a special guest and that was great and drank some yummy peppermint drinks and ate pierogies and watched SNL and stayed up late talking about government and animals and woke up and opened presents and then talked more about that and it was nice and and yes yes yes.
Played XBox Kinect with Lexi and her little brothers, and got disgustingly sweaty and had the best time ever. And to think I thought I was all fancy for having my Wii. Technology is getting STRAIGHT UP WILD.
Trivia night was foon, had a whole lot of my favorite people around in one room, and even though my book got wrecked, I don't even care because I wasn't going to finish it anyway thankyouverymuch Rohan.
Spent the day with Liam and his girlfriend, and actually had a really nice time. Not that I thought I wouldn't, but just thought I should throw that out there. Mad sushi and muchos crappy sweatshirts for my trip.
Went on my first real-life fancy pants date with Billy last night. And, that's not just the first date with Billy, but the first dress up date EVER in my entire LIFE. And I could cry just THINKING about it. Maybe not cry, but get all wiggly in the bell. Suit and heels, reservations and wine. Coffee to end the dinner like adults. And not only that, but my food was actually delicious- whole wheat penne with grilled eggplant, zuccini, red pepper and a garlic tomato sauce. Afterwards, went home and played bop-it, danced to keyboard beats, nuckin' the BB, and I donned a special special pair of old woman nurse library tan puffy shoes. Then went to home2 and watched Shawshank Redemption for the first time in my entire LIFE (Nan's favorite movie). Then, maturity tests and poisoned babies.
Tonight is the last night of the year. Tomorrow is my last real night in New Jersey. I'm anxious but excited. Whoa.
