a week of vacation has officially started. and by week i mean i get five days and craig gets eleven. boo. we picked up the rest of the ornaments yesterday and the tree finally looks festive instead of just sad. i baked cookies last night hoping that we would be able to resist and i could pass them out at work, unfortunately not many people can pass up fresh homemade cookies warm from the oven even if their girlfriend is repeatedly yelling "stop eating my damn cookies!!!" it happens.
we have some shopping and some cleaning to do today. my family is coming over on christmas eve to play beatles rockband and maybe have pizza. im looking forward to it. it will be the first time they have seen where i live since i ever moved out. they didnt get to see either place in arlingtion heights and my dad saw the inside of dixon when i was moving out. but otherwise its just four walls to them. weird when you think about it.
i woke up at eight which is pretty much sleeping in now a days. i like having the morning to get stuff done and then waste the rest of the day making lists and planning. ive decided to get a tattoo at the end of march. the end of march you say? yes the end because at the beginning i plan on buying a car and maybe a puppy. its been years since ive had ink plunged into my skin and i feel that im settled enough now for something a little forever.
there was a time in my life where i swore i would never leave kenosha. that i wanted to raise my kids here and be buried here. then i fell madly deeply in love with chicago. and while a huge part of my heart is still there, i am starting to remember why kenosha felt so good in the first place. by no means am i saying that i never want to leave. i still plan on joining the peace corps when i am older, whether craig is coming along or not. and there is still so much of even this country to see. im just saying its nice to have a home. somewhere that you know and dont have to navigate through. i guess thats just where i am in life. i have an amazing boyfriend, the greatest friends (near and far) and a home.
what more could a girl ask for?
