If those of you who may actually follow this blog of mine are paying attention you will notice that I have been updating on Thursday afternoons; not all the time, but a good 83% of it.
Well I am writing this week to let you know that there will be no post next week, not just because it is Christmas day, but because I will be half way across the country. I think that I have mentioned before that I am a local girl; born, raised and live in the great state of Massachusetts. Right about now you might be wondering why I am going to be half way across the country for Christmas if my whole family lives in the Northeast. Well.... the boy's family lives in the Midwest, he is a corn fed Midwestern boy. And I made the decision in the beginning of October that I would go to Christmas at his family's this year. This decision caused a lot of turmoil within my family, and I do mean A LOT of turmoil, but I stuck to my guns and kept with my decision. We are leaving tomorrow evening. During the snow storm. We are also stopping by my mother's house before we leave the state so that we can drop off presents before the holiday.
This trip is shaping up to be awesome on so many levels
To be honest I am really excited about it, on Monday I get to take a day trip to Chicago with the boy and his dad. I have never been there so I am SUPER excited about that; even though the boy keeps telling me that "it is great that you're this excited but if you could dial it back you might be a the right level." What does he know! Well a lot actually, he is hands down one of the smartest people that I have ever met. But Chicago... yes, I think that it will be great, not life altering mind you, but pretty awesome. As Jazlyn's European suitor said, 'it will give my eyes a different vocabulary' and I think that that about fits the bill; and he didn't say it to me of course, he said it to Jazlyn, but she told me about it and I have already told him that I am stealing that phrase and if he wants it back he needs to get his European bum over to this side of the Atlantic to get it back, so if you are thinking about using that phrase you better start thinking about royalties!
So Chicago... I knew that I could get back on topic! (*Warning*: I am about to not make a whole lot of sense unless you know me and know how my stream of thoughts normally run) As anyone who knows me relatively well knows, I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I will be the first to admit that I am a Potterhead, and I know that it could be worst very easily. I actually have to restrain myself when it comes to this brand. If I didn't I know that I would be one of those people (adult people) who have the posters and the clothes and everything and I also know how sad that would be. So because of my fan-ness I think that I may need to take another trip to Chicago.
Are you confused yet?
Let me explain. In my daily escapade in the land of Harry Potter (on the Internet) I came across this:
www.harrypotterexhibition.com
I am hoping and praying that this thing is of the travelling kind. But if it isn't Chi-town it's you and me BABY!
I hope that that clears my scattered post up a little bit. This one might need re-reading. Or perhaps a quiz at the end... Meh, I don't think that I have that much focus left in me.
Okay that is all for this year (maybe)! I wish everyone a Happy Christmas!!!

The holidays are getting closer and my time is running faster.
I am cheating again.... Sorry for those who care.
He seems to me a fictional being,
a jackalope of sorts.
Purveyor and owner of all that he sees,
yet ever wandering
through the vast expanse of the ballroom.
Rotund
not unlike Santa Clause.
He has a glazed look upon his face,
as if,
like Santa,
he has eaten
too many cookies all at once.
It dawns on me
he doesn’t know what to do
or is he bored?
Seeming to be waiting,
for what?
His distinctive pacing
driving me insane.
‘Settle’ is all I can think
but of course
I am rendered
silent.
Merely an ant in the mines.
‘You created us,
to do what we are doing now
so that you might
do what you are doing now’
is my next thought.
Though I know that it is fruitless
how can an ant
tell Santa what to do,
when all Santa does
is wander
through empty ballrooms.

I think that we have a problem...
These are exerps from a conversation I had with Jazlyn* about her infatuation with a former occupant of her apatment... I find it very amusing...
10:11 AM me: you're insane you know that right?
10:13 AM Jazlyn: no im not
you're just as deep into this as i am
you blogged about it
me: Also, did you notice the fact that she has TWO pictures of my building in her albums?! TWO J! AND they were taken in, like, July; which means I was totally here at work when they were taken.
10:14 AM Jazlyn: she lives on comm ave!
...
10:18 AM me: What?
that is weird
...
Jazlyn: so p. t.'s life isn't as unfulfilled as we thought
me: maybe
I realized that with the flickr
10:23 AM did you see the pictures?
the selarium!!!
Jazlyn: yes
of p's?
yes
me: she was right there
where on Comm. does she live?
10:24 AM Jazlyn: if i knew that we'd have been there already
maybe she doesn't live right on comm ave, but it's where she walks her stupid dogs
10:25 AM me: hmmm...
Jazlyn: so she's not in texas
but no pictures of her on her flickr
which i find strange
10:26 AM me: some people just don't like to have their picture taken
but there are only the dogs
Jazlyn: also strange that she would own the whole floor of the house
i don't think she owned the whole house... maybe?
me: I mean I didn't go indepth or anything butare there pictures of people?
Jazlyn: there's pictures of when she went to italy and prague
10:27 AM me: of other people?
or just her?
Jazlyn: of her sister
linda or angela
10:28 AM me: does she have two sisters?
Jazlyn: yes and a brother i think
10:29 AM from her mothers obituary
me: you should make a time line of her life
Jazlyn: OHh
new fact
apparently p. lived in california in second grade
me: do you tell your therapist about P.?
Jazlyn: yes california
yes
10:31 AM he said i should contact her and tell her about her stuff
me: and what does he say?
hmm
Jazlyn: he said out of all teh people that have lived there, you were the only one thinking that she need to get this stuff back, that say i'm a moral person
even though i totally went through it too
Jazlyn: i put it all back neatly last night
Jazlyn: i sorted it all, highschool crap, christmas crap, taxes crap, and craft shit.
Jazlyn: so my therapist still thinks p. lives in texas
10:37 AM yes
maybe if he knew she lived in boston he'd be like, she sounds nutty.
stay away
Jazlyn: cuz i was thinking she was poor
but when she lived in watertown she made 60000 a year and drove a sports car
and now she lives in boston
10:38 AM but i don't think she went back to college?
maybe
me: and that was in the late 90's right?
that she lived at your house
10:40 AM Jazlyn: she lived in myhouse, worked for american heart association and made 60000 and drove a mitsubishi 3000 gt which is a fancy red 2 door peppy car that pete and brian knew from seeing it in video games
10:41 AM me: yes, but that was in the late 90's right?
Jacklyn: umm
99-2002
me: hmmm....
10:42 AM and now she lives IN the city
...
Jazlyn: and cleary the lady on flickr is the right person
me: hmm
Jazlyn: right?
10:43 AM me: let me look at the italy pictures
10:44 AM Jazlyn: i mean the cousin sister checks out, the dog collie named connor checks out. the time frame of when she went to italy prague checks out.
10:45 AM and she started taking digital about the time she moved out of my house.
me: where are the pictures of her and her sister?
10:47 AM Jazlyn: in the louve
a lot of flash photography in the louve which i would think would not be allowed
10:48 AM but maybe aound statues it's okay
me: the louvre is neither in italy or prauge...
Jazlyn: and musee d'orsay
10:49 AM she has a photo of a bougereau painting
which may explain why theres a framed bougerau print in my house
that no one knew where it came from
and it's what made me want to move in there
10:51 AM and the italian drawings that i put in the dead refridgerator
Jazlyn: so p. was good at math asa child, enjoyed needlepoint.
me: very true
10:53 AM Jazlyn: then she got divorced, went back to school, maybe jsut took a few art classes, maybe she tooke several cuz her flickr says "photos from a photography class", moved into my house?
me: the sister is a.
and it is totally her
10:54 AM Jazlyn: yes
AND
even when her a l. were together
they traveled a lot
even if it wa sjust to new mexico or the grand canyon
or south carolina
and evertime they moved she took a whole role of film after they set up the furniture
10:55 AM and i tried to look for her neices on facebook
but i forget the yougnest one's name
me: maybe she has a facebook
10:56 AM Jazlyn: there is an old lady with a facebook named p. t.
but she has brown hair.
