 Worked 12 hours today, but I scored off for New Year's Day, so that's good. 
Got some necessities, and a hundred bucks, collectively. Like the Boss says, free is free, so I was stoked.
Worked a 19 hour day Christmas Eve. (Yup, that's right, was in 7am sharp, and didn't get outta there 'til 1am.) but, it was fun. We were only open 7-7, so after cleanup, which wasn't finished until about 10:30, it was marketing and having a few beers with the boss and District Manager. **shrugs** So it wasn't too bad and I was paid. And, yeah, I had a white Christmas alright. Over two freaking feet of snow! We're used to snow, but not like this. Snow is still that thing where three or four inches is like "ZOMG, it's fucking snowing!!!" and school are closed and shit. **shrugs** BUT, I ended up having fun. I whitewashed the shit outta my nephew coming home from school one day. For those who don't know what whitewashing is, or who call it something different, I'm talking about tackling someone, rubbing their faces in the snow, burrying them, dumping them...basically kicking the shit outta someone, only in the snow, and with snow. **shrugs** It can be quite barbaric, as my nephew refered to it as. Haha. And then, when my brother-in-law tried getting me, one of my not so tiny friends got him instead. So...payback? Heh, my brother and nephew got up an hour before I had to leave for work, were outside digging and making sure the snow pile was soft and not freezing, since it was mostly becoming ice by this point, my brother grabs me as I walk out the door, drops me in the pile, I immediately sink to the bottom, and he and my nephew both respectively sit on me until I can't get up anymore as they burried me. They got me good. I seriously couldn't breathe, and the snow was so heavy I couldn't get up. But they got me out right away, so in hindsight, it was quite hilarious. |

| Yeah I think I've done a 14 hour day or so back at Jiffy Lube... but the situation with that was kind of similar as well, haha. After shop closing hours we did inventory while drinking a bit, so it was all fun!
Two feet of snow? Jeezbuz. Once though, just once... I'd like to experience "being snowed in". I have no idea why and it's probably ultra inconvenient, but it'd be a cool story? 
Roads are getting better around here. How are the places for you guys? I was talking to my friends about it who've lived in other States and it sounds like places are different about cleaning up the roads. I guess some of my friends went down to Missouri over the weekend and they don't plow at all! That's gotta suck. Around here they just get the main streets... so on longer drives home, the closer you get to home... the worse and tougher it gets, lol. The annoying thing though is that my car is insanely bad in this kind of weather and I have no idea why, it must be the tires or something. My friends small 2 door Honda handles twice as better somehow, so something is definitely up. The brakes raddle a lot too when it's hard to stop... even though all the brakes are new this year. |

| Been awhile since I talked to my aunt in Missouri but I think I remember her saying they at least plow the highways... however I noticed that on the holidays it takes forever. I was sorta snowed in at my grandma's house a few years back... the streets were plowed by the city right away but the highway (the only way out of her little mountain town) was still snowed in so we were stuck for awhile. It was not a pleasant experience but that was because my dad was being a douche. It just took them awhile to get out there and get the road cleared, that was all.
Sad that the first report of a vague snow-in came from California, huh? But yeah, our Christmas was a bit chilly but overall it was clear and warmer than it had been (wind made it colder). I worked 6 hours only on Christmas Day but it was a slow and annoying shift as literally everything in San Pedro was closed and I had to drive twice as far as normal to get some place that was open for lunch (Del Taco). Kinda annoying. Present hall this year was small but nice... some cash, some gift cards, a nice scarf, a blanket, some DVDs (Rome and Star Trek), beer, beer bread mix. Part of the cash was to pay for my upcoming GRE exam so yay! Oh yes, and candy... two boxes of chocolates that with my friends help will soon be gone. Mining for tourmaline? I wanna do that! Oh yeah... as a yearly thing on the day after Christmas, Ben's dad takes him and his sister (and significant others) out to either a museum or the zoo or something. Last year was the zoo, so this year was the LA Museum of Natural History. I don't know if I'd ever been there before, if I had then I was very small and remember little. It was fun despite half of it being under construction. Got to touch a T-Rex toe bone and they had an entire room for minerals (i.e. gems)... lots of tourmaline there. Plus a red diamond, the second largest in the world (still so small, like 5.3oz) and it was beautiful! So at least I can say I got to see a rare diamond as a gift of sorts, right? |

| Good trip out for Christmas 2 with Brandon's family. Went hiking along riverbeds in the snow, went through some native ruins that you could actually climb the ladders of and walk into, ate all kinds of crazy amazing food (some in what's been deemed a haunted restaurant), and went through the giant dinosaurs from the Peewee Herman movie which have since been purchased by a group that swears evolution is a myth.
I love winter break. Lots of great hiking. It's seriously a miracle our car is running. |

| Well, I've certainly been out of the loop for a while now. I'm on leave, back in Minnesota, until the 3rd. Just a few more days. I haven't been home in about a year and a half. I went to see friends, hung out with family and did some fun activities. Got some good presents this year. | |||

| Wow, it's the freaking end of the decade. And this one didn't even really have a name. People still call the year "Two thousand ... "
Any make the transition to saying "Twenty ten" yet? |
