WELLLLLL....now tis the week before the holiday known as christmas (which
coincidentally lands the night of the beginning of hanukkah). i'm
literally swamped and i'm being pushed to last minute hoora's to accomodate
to everyone and everything that i possibly can. the sad part is not
knowing if i have sufficient amounts of presents to give to family in new
jersey. i think i'm short, but i actually do NOT know until i get there.
AND then i have to do last minute present buying while i'm there, which
actually is not a problem this visit around.
for the most part, everytime i've gone to visit new jersey, i would be
under so much pressure to see everyone. to make it easier for myself and
others, i would set up a common meeting place like a bar or someone's house
as a place to catch up. cause most of the time, people just want to hear
what you've been up to, how work is, and when you're coming back again. i
do, however, enjoy the one to one conversations i get a chance to be part
of if my time schedule allows it. SO i've always been under this time
management schedule whenever i go visit new jersey. BUT this time around
-- with friends moving to other cities and not being in a central area -- i
actually do NOT have any sort of agenda set up. everyone i've called is
either busy, not in the area during that time, or just doens't live in new
jersey anymore. holidays are rough.
WORK likes to build up because its the last moments before the new year.
so work is hectic.
SHOPPING is practically a b*tch anywhere you go and finding exactley what
someone wants gets difficult if its a popular item.
TIME is so limited cause people want to see you before you go away for
christmas and then things like LAUNDRY pile up.
i still need to frickin pack! jersey countdown is now down to 27 hours.
in 27 hours i will be in o'hare airport, waiting to get on a plane to new
jersey, where i'm still not sure who will be there to pick me up. THEN i
have to stay at my mom's house cause no one else can get time off to hang
out with me and let me crash at their place. THEN i have to go last minute
christmas shopping on FRIDAY cause i have NO MONEY till then. i hate
traveling low on funds, but this season is kicking my ass.
things are pretty rough right now and NEW YEAR'S EVE IS NOT EVEN PLANNED
YET!!! EEEERRRRRRRRR!
for the peoples that read this....i wish you and yours a very safe and fun
holiday season! may it not be chaotic and full of mess and disorganization
that i am currently experiencing.....
p.s. the worse is wrapping presents that people open up an hour later.
makes it feel like you shouldn't have wrapped it at all....but you need to
for this damn surprise effect that people always want during christmas.
