So, I'm officially an Orlandoian...if that's even a word...again. And it's great. I sort of feel like I"m just visiting still because I don't have my stuff unpacked and all that jazz, but things are coming along just fine.
I worked my ass off before I left Fernandina and everyone was sad to see me go which makes a girl feel really good seeing as I was only there for 5 months. I'm going to miss a lot of people there, but not to the extent that I wouldn't want to leave. I said goodbye to Scott and Jackie and didn't feel regret or fear at all. I remember moving there. I was excited and happy but also nervous and scared. Coming home feels just like the most peacefully non scary thing that I've ever done. Mom and Dad are both happy I'm back and so is Amy.
Christmas day I moved. My aunt and uncle came up from Ft. Lauderdale and when I got there we opened gifts. I didn't even know I was getting gifts. This year everyone in the family is beyond broke so my mom thought it would be fun for us to do secret santa, and have a 10 dollar limit on the gift, just to do something funny or small to make it feel like christmas without everyone going broke. I ended up getting a purse from Scott that was originally 58 dollars that was marked down, so I felt like I had gotten a pretty awesome gift. And we did our family Christmas last weekend. But since the Fleur and Bobby were coming in, I guess my mom decided to get me and Amy stocking stuffers and my aunt and uncle got me and Amy really nice gifts. I got socks, hair ties, and a shaving kit (razor, refill, body wash, and shaving gel) from my mom, and this super nice makeup box with este lauder makeup in it from the uncle. I love makeup but I don't spend a lot of money on it, so it was nice to have something nice.
We had the traditional dinner, but it was much lighter than usual, with more veggies and less carbs, since my uncle just had 3 stints put in his heart last week. The next day we all went to Longhorn Steak House with my grandpa and it was delicious, then back home to watch Across The Universe with the fam. My Uncle is a die hard Beatles fan. It's like my love for Hanson times 1000. I've seen the movie once and thought it was amazing, so I was excited to see it again, however I wanted to laugh when my uncle teared up for every song, and even cry cried at some parts. Like, dude...you've seen it 7 times already. Geez!
Anyway, they left today around 2pm. Amy and I have furniture in our room now which prevents me from getting a bed, so I was thinking bunk beds. I found one online today on craigslist and went and bought it and brought it home. It's yet to be assembled, but it's going to be nice to not share a bed with Amy every night. I'm not much of a bed sharer.
I don't have a job yet, but I have a few weeks to find something since I'll bet getting two more checks from Domino's so keep your fingers crossed guys that I find an office job somewhere, because if I don't find something within the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll have to go back to the Domino's here to work until I find something and I really truly do not want to do that.
I have so much more to say but I'm tired and I feel like I'm writing all choppy right now anyway.
I hope everyones Christmas was at least eventful. Mine was pretty pleasent. I'm always suprised when I get gifts because there are things I just don't buy for myself and it's nice to have a treat every now and then.
