merry christmas!
okay,
story. my mom took my brother and me on a christmas present vacation to san francisco. here are my brothers pics from the trip. http://community.webshots.com/user/jhh6586
i really liked the place. it was beautiful. the ocean, the bay, the hills, the bridge. i'm kind of scoping out places i would potentially like to live after i graduate. i dont know if san francisco is the place for me though. one thing, there was an article in the paper about a special ed teacher who had to declare bankruptcy. second thing, the hills. although, i noticed a lot of people were really skinny. climbing those hills would do that. the one thing i did like was the weather. highs of 60 in the winter is really nice. you still can use coats, sweaters and such and they serve their purpose, they keep you warm. i hate having to wear 50 layers here in 0 degree weather and still be freezing when outside.
the real adventure of the trip was coming back. we flew through cincinnati. cincinnati had a monsterous snow storm, like 18 inches of snow. plus apparently, a lot of other problems

so, our flight out of cincinnati was cancelled. we ended up sleeping in the airport. in the hotel in sf we had watched the terminal. the movie was good. reennacting it myself was not.
luckily, my hero of a dad left champaign at 3:30 in the morning and drove to pick us up. it should take 4 hours at the most. because of all the snow and closed highways near cincinnati it took him about six and a hlaf hours. then getting back took close to ten hours. we were stuck in a traffic jam for serioously 5 hours. (nothing like being in a car with your divorced parents, it was kind of parent-trapesque) i told little pat tortorelli about how my dad came to pick us up and he said, "lola, i don't get it... you dad is nice, why he get divorced?" true dat pat. if only it was that simple. so this was wednesday. all the flights from cinci to champaign have still been cancelled. even the flight tomorrow morning. i would have to imagine if my dad wouldn't have rescued us, that we would have somehow made it back by now...but we very well could have spent, xmas in the cincinnati/norhtern kentucky airport. that'd be a memory.
a little bit of herrel trivia i learned over christmas dinner. apparently, my half-second cousin is a porn star. and while doing a little googling, i foudn out she was in strip tease with jessie from saved by the bell. how many people can say that?
okay, i'm going to finsih ipoding.
