gabe leaves me tonight, he'll be back for new year's.
it's just odd...the past year was about him being out here alone and missing me, and now, for 10 days, the tables will turn. it's just gross, how much i'll miss him.
i have been asked several times, and no, i will not be alone for christmas. not totally. i mean, there IS rico. (i'm giving him rasins. i'm pretty sure he's giving me poops.)
and my uncle's family. my uncle kenny's lived out here for longer than i've been alive, and every christmas eve at the bjork family get-together he calls and we all pass the phone around. it's kenny and his wife, my two cousins and their spouses, and their collective band of three children. so now i'll be on the other end of the phone, talkin' to the folks in minnesota, which will be fun.
that's christmas eve. christmas day for kenny's fam is just opening the santa presents (they do most of the presents on c. eve). so i'm probably skipping out on that, which means i will be on my own. and since disneyland's the only amusement park open that day and i just did that, i need to find other plans.
therefore, i'm going jewish for christmas day. you heard me. there's a small strip mall down the street from my house and i plan to stop in at starbucks for a coffee, then go next door for panda express, and get my annual pumpkin pie ice cream on at cold stone. after that? "sweeny todd." chinese food and a movie. l'chaim!
although, i may actually go into a church. there are lots of mexican churches around here and i'd like to see one all rose-and-candled up for christmas.
next year, perhaps, i'll be able to go home. but for now, i must work and get money so that i can come visit in the spring.
