Thanks for all the sweet comments on my last post. Tomorrow my dad goes in for a CAT scan to see if it has spread already and then on January 5th, he gets a bone scan to check if it’s spread to his bones. If not, then they start the radiation treatment. I hope all goes well.
OH! My work party was good. I had a fun time. I’m surprised only two people drank. My co-workers are crazy. I thought I’d be the only one NOT drinking, since I’m not 21. We went to a La Casita, which is a Mexican restaurant. It was good. We also did a Christmas gift exchange and I got a $25 gift card to Border’s. I had a great time.
I’m so glad my boss gave me Christmas Eve off! My parents and I will be heading to my Grandmama’s house that day. We’ll have Christmas Eve at my Grandmama’s. My uncle just recently became a chaplain so he will give a sermon at my Grandmama’s house. My uncle and cousin are going to bring their guitars and we’re going to sing Christmas songs. I’m excited. On Christmas day, we’ll head over to my aunt and uncle’s house, who live five minutes away from my Grandmama. We just got my cousin’s presents and I think we are all done now.
The only thing that would make my Christmas perfect would be to see Kathleen and Angelah. I miss them so much. I wish I had the money to fly down and go visit them. I wanted to fly down and go to Disneyland with Kathleen like we used too, but I just can’t afford it right now. I hope I can see them in January or soon.
I asked my boss for a raise and she said I can have on in May once I complete my core classes for ECD, but I’ll be a certified teacher on January 20. I’m kind of upset that I can’t have the raise sooner, but she plans on giving me a good raise so I won’t complain. It’ll be just in time for the summer once I go back to full time, which is good.
Am I the only one who feels like 2008 went be really fast? I mean, I feel like I just moved here and it’s already almost 2009. Remember Y2K when everyone was thinking that all the computers and what not would just shut down? I remember my dad was on call all the night because he worked for IBM. Glad he didn’t get called in! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. I did so much this year; I moved, went back down to Los Angeles eight times, started school, went back to work, met new friends, and much more.. but for some reason I feel like I haven’t done much.
Anyway, I updated Wordpress, which took a while but I’m glad I did. I kept seeing the little update message everytime I logged into WP for a while. I think I skipped two or three new versions, but I waited until 2.7. I’m still getting used to the admin interface, but I think I like it. You should if you haven’t!

Yeah 2008 went SO fast, it feels like yesterday when 2008 just started. Heh. Before you know it it’s 2010+++ already. Oh no! Heh.
I’ve never watched a movie to the point that my heart hurt but movies like A Walk to Remember and The Notebook never fail to make me cry. I noticed that i’m usually crying with movies where one of the main characters dies. :s
Congrats on having a day off on Christmas Eve!
And on the raise in May as well. It’s gonna be May before you know it ;)
Nah, not just you. I think time went by so quickly too. Too quickly for my liking. XD
Yeay for the raise next year.
I think that 2008 went by pretty fast. My baby is growing up so quickly. It felt like he was just born and he turned two this year. I think that’s crazy, lol. I’m sorry you’re not getting your raise until May. That seems so far off… I know you were hoping for it.. Maybe it’ll happen. I hope you have fun with your familia… I wish we were going to hang out! I want to go have lunch with Ivy.
2008 did go by really fast and yess for your raise.
Merry Christmas <3 Have Fun.
sorry to hear about your dad. that really sucks. i hope he’s doing well.
yeah… 2008 went by faster than any other year i’ve experienced…. that sounded weird… anyway…. its a sign that we’re getting older… wah!!
happy holidays!
I think i’m a bit late but what the heck.. MERRY CHRISTMAS, CHRISTINA!
I'm Christina. I'm 22 years old. I live in Northern California.
I'm going to school full time to get my AA in Early Childhood Development and my BS in Business Management.
I currently do not have a job. I love make up, texting, & music.




This year DEFINITELY went by super fast. I can’t believe fall semester is over, I’ve been with my boyfriend 8 months now, it’s just crazy. Not that I’m complaining, the sooner I’m done with my degree the better. I’m also quickly becoming tired of being a broke student.
