I love Christmas!!!

Christmas has come and gone and it was different than any other year, but fabulous in its own way. Karen had work again so we opened our presents on Christmas Eve. I made out well as usual..lots of clothes, barnes and noble giftcard, ihome, a snowbaby, the price is rite dvd game, and the usuals socks, candy and a toothbrush. And since my folks love to surprise me with something extra I woke up Christmas morning to find one extra present under the tree..a big one!!! A sewing machine!!!! I had asked for one, but really wasn't expecting to get one so I was very shocked and happy when I did. I'm a little scared though cause it looks very complicated. I hope I can read the directions and figure out how to actually use it! And in typical Mag and Jack fashion...a nice crisp benji franklin was waiting by my eggs and bacon on the kitchen table =)
I just love Christmas! I honestly don't even care about the presents that much its just such a laid back and fun day. I love the little things about Christmas, like having a nice family breakfast, seeing all the crazy relatives, laughing about the lame joke gifts the aunts buy each other, and of course this year watching the eagles!!!! Thank god they won otherwise my drunken family would have caused a riot probably!!!

There's Magic in the Air This Evening, Magic in the Air....

This is going to be a very happy blog because the universe is being so gooooood to Jackie right now. I think it all began about a week ago and since then practically everything has been awesome!!! The semester is over and it wasn't that awful in the end. Right now I have three A's and I'm waiting for my health and wellness grade. I'm praying for an A, but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to live with an A- or a B+ cause I was so pooped from my other classes that I slacked on the final. Oh well!!! I really just want to know my grade, but of course my professor is taking her sweet time posting them. Then again, if the grade is bad I don't wanna know cause they could just kill my spree of fabulous!!! I'm just glad the holidays are here and that the rest of my friends will be home shortly....I miss everyone!!!!
I'm really starting to think my spree of fabulous and good mood has something to do with the holiday season. It's amazing how into the holidays we all still become even when we are grown up. How you still watch the same cheesy movies and listen to the same songs you loved as a kid. Each year when the holiday season is approaching I always think about how much of a hassle shopping is and how little money I have to buy presents, but its the week before Christmas and none of that seems to matter anymore. Anyways I'm starting to ramble now, but I am just really full of holiday cheer and I'm kind of surprised by how much holiday spirit I have this year. I think maybe all the holiday movies put me into the spirit. I have watched all of my favorites this year- Elf, Muppet Christmas Carol, Polar Express, Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Santa Clause....they are all soooo fabulous. If anyone hasn't seen one or more of these, get to it cause you're missing out!!!!
I'm almost done my christmas shopping which is another reason I am happy. I hope everyone likes what I got them!!! I have to pick a day this week and wrap like crazy. I'm also supposed to help Mag wrap for fun lol. Tomorrow is cookie day with Karen. We may have gone a little overboard this year. We promised a lot of people cookies and now tomorrow is gonna be hardcore. We are planning on making like nine dozen cookies...we will probably die halfway through, but it should make for a few laughs since Jack and Bailey will be getting in the way I'm sure!

Sigh of Relief

The semester is really almost over now. Today was absolute hell...two finals back to back..econ and crim!!! I seriously have wanted to die the past few days...I have been so stressed!!!! I have been staying up until 4am or later typing endless study guides and reading chapters and now it is all done!!!! It's both scary and rewarding walking out of a final exam. On the one hand you are so freakin glad that it is over and life can get back to normal, but it's also kind of scary to think that you can't do anything to change things now. Once the final is over that's it! I'm pretty sure I did well on these two today so that makes me super happy!!! Two more to go until freedom!!!! Next Thursday can't come soon enough!!!!
I got a parking ticket again today even though I was told I had special permission to park on campus cause of my disability so someone at Stockton is gonna be hearing from me in the morning!!!! It was quite a kick in the ass to be so happy that my finals were done only to walk out to my car and see that damn ticket!!!!! Since when is parking in a normal parking space a crime???? Damn rent-a-cops!!!!
I can't believe Christmas is sooo soon and I seriously have not bought any gifts!!!! I have two things purchased so far and I don't even know who I am giving the one thing to. I really need to kick things into gear when I get home next week...oh home how I love it!!!!! I can't wait to see everyone, eat real food, and sleep in my bed on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss my double bed=)
