15 more minutes of Christmas

So as I write this there is about 15 more minutes left of Christmas. All in all had a wonderful day. I am spending my Christmas vacation with my Dad in the Windy City. I don't even want to think about how cold it is outside now. Probably in the single digits. Burrrr!

Anyway, another Christmas has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday that it was June 25th and Christmas was another 6 months away. It seems like just yesterday. But I had a fantastic day. My Dad let me sleep in until 10. It felt so nice. That was probably my first gift of the day. After I finally decided to get up I sat down for a while, drank some coffee and watched the wind blow the snow all around. It was a very peaceful morning. I made out with some wonderful Christmas gifts too. My Dad got me the perfume I had asked for, a really cool charm bracelet, and a very stylish weekender bag with some cute pjs inside. (Pictures to come) It's funny, as I get older I realize that Christmas isn't really about the presents it is about spending time with your family and the people you care most about. After all the family finally left tonight my Dad and I sat down to do what we do every year and watch A Christmas Story together. He is the only one that doesn't care if I quote the movie word for word, because he does it too! That was the highlight of my day. I LOVE that movie and but I LOVE watching it with him even more.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day and you got to spend it with the people that you love the most. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I'm so excited!

So... recently I have been working a lot with this production company here in town. Parker Creek Productions. I worked with them for their latest film "No Soliciting" and it was so much fun. They are super nice people and really great at what they do. On Sunday I got an email from them asking me if I would like to be an official part of their production company! And I accepted. Of course there is no pay but, the experience I will get from working with them will be worth more than any money I could get. Plus there is already another project in the works. I'll keep you updated.

Friday is our wrap party for "No Soliciting." That should be pretty fun. I'm bringing the Guitar Hero. (Yes I know I haven't mentioned him in a really long time.) But we are still friends. He's a good friend actually. We have a lot in common and he remembers things that I say, which to me is super important. I could see us being in a relationship but, I think neither of us wants to be in one right now.

Now on to more important things... like what I want for Christmas.

1. Plaid Converse Chuck Taylors... I LOVE these shoes!
2. Guess Perfume... I finally ran out of this after two years! I love this stuff. Smells so good!
   

3. Persuasion by Jane Austin... I've always wanted to read this.

Off to bed. Oh before I forget.

So....

Remember BB? My ex boyfriend. Well the other day I was sitting at job #1 and I realized that it had been one year since I broke up with him. I really can't believe it! Where has this year gone? I really have no idea. What have I accomplished? Well I did get my bachelor's degree. I suppose that is an accomplishment. But seriously, I think that it's totally overrated. (Just my opinion). But here is a picture to prove that I did it anyway. Anywho... back to BB. I haven't talked to him in a really long time. My friends are going to kill me when they read this but sometimes I miss him. Most of the time he was pretty good to me... most of them time. Maybe I don't really miss him, maybe I just miss being in a relationship. I haven't been single for this long since high school. On the other hand, I kinda like it. Relationships take a lot of work. Not something I really have a lot of time for. I mean I seriously don't have time to even do laundry let alone maintain a healthy relationship. So, it's probably a good idea that I'm single.

Besides working two jobs and sleeping, this is what I have been up to lately/

• I saw the Twilight movie. Good... but not great. Book was, of course, better. But the soundtrack is A-MAZE-ING!!! Super good!
• Working on a new short film with a small production company here in town. The move is called No Soliciting. It should turn out really well. Here are some pics from the shoot. I love this group of people. They are super talented and love making movies. They also love to collaborate with other people. And always willing to hear others idea.
  

• I sat down with them on Wednesday and we are currently working on a new story idea. I'm really excited about this one because I get to write part of the script! Whoop Whoop! FYI: writing a screenplay or even dialogue is hard! It's not like writing a story it's totally different. I'm reading Story by Robert McKee the Screenplay writing Guru to get some advice.
• Another album I am obsessed with right now is Snow Patrol's new album called A Hundred Million Suns. You thought their last album was good. Wait till you hear this one!

Well... that's about it. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Also... my BFF was in a bad car accident last week. I wish I could have been in the same state to help her out. I know she is feeling lonely. Love you!!

two weeks until Christmas.....

I finally put my tree up! It's just a little tabletop one that I have had for three years but it looks great! Pictures to come...

Still missing my Stephanie. Love you girl :-)


(Gotta love Halloween!)
