Fog and Robot Monkeys

Ok, so, the weather today was extremely foggy, so I couldn't drive my grandmom's mini. Sucks, but oh well. Here is a picture of me with all the fog behind me.

And here is a picture of all the fog. You usually can see the road and highway and stuff. But not today. =[ Can't even see the outlines of the hills!!

So, my dad's girlfriend came by a little earlier to drop off my dad's phone charger and also a present for me. I had emailed her about something a day or two after we all celebrated Christmas, and today before we left to go see my dad's little cousins, he mentioned to my grandmother that Claudia was dropping by to give me something.

She had made me a stained glass purple robot monkey. It's amazing. I would love to hang it on the Christmas tree at my mom's house next year, but she doesn't like my dad's girlfriend like, at all, so it would only cause drama in my house. So, I dunno where I'm gonna put it yet. When I get my car, I would love to hang it off the rear view mirror, but I'm afraid it might be too heavy. Eh, we'll find out. My dad thinks I should put it somewhere where my mom is gonna see it almost every day. haha. He instigates ALOT. Must be where I get it from. hahaha *Angelic*

This is gonna be the last post until I get home tomorrow night. My plane leaves at about 10 ish in the morning PST, and I forget about what time we land. I know the plane ride is about 5 hours and 15 minutes or so. It'll be good to be home. I'm actually looking forward to Saturday, cuz even tho it's the start of build season, I finally get to see Collin again. These 2 weeks or so have been SO long and hard to bear. Summer is gonna be harder since it's a month that I'm gone, but I'm not gonna think about that until it comes. I hope that on Saturday Collin can come over after we get done robotics. He still owes me a few chick flicks like he promised me before we even started going out. hahaha. =]

Finally in California

Wow. Today was not a good day to fly.

Our flight was supposed to take off at 3:55......It didn't take off until 5:41 EST. We landed at 9:17 ish PST. We were PISSED cuz of the delay. We were so bored, we were taking pictures like, nonstop!!! lol I only saved one of them and emailed it to myself......


As you can tell, we were really bored.
So, now I'm laying on my bed at my dad's house. Tho it's only my bed for about a week or so. If that even. Cuz in a few days, the person who rents our room is coming back from her brother's house, which means Shannon and I have to sleep on the sofa in the living room. Urrrrrrg. One good thing about my dad's house is this tho: Bed by midnight, up by noon. Bed just means I have to be in bed. Not that I have to be sleeping tho. XD lol there are other good things about his house, but that's the one I'm loving right now.
Tomorrow my dad works until noon ish. So, I'm sleeping in and catching up on sleep I missed out on on the plane.

OMG I almost forgot to tell you people! An elderly woman was sitting in front of Shannon on the plane. She passed out and puked all over herself and in between the two seats (her's and her husband's seat). Well, Shannon and I were both asleep during all this. Next thing I know, there are a bunch of people around the area we were sitting at, and I realized my sock felt wet (I take off my shoes on an airplane lol) I looked at my sock, and was like "ewwwwwwwwwwww what is----" and that's when I realized the woman had gotten sick. So, I had vomit on my left sock, on my right pant leg, and Shannon had some on her backpack. It was gross. The poor woman had overheated, and so she ended up passing out which is when she started puking. Very sad for her. Once we got to SFO, there were paramedics waiting for her and her husband once they got off the plane. I sure hope she's ok.

I texted the people I said I would text, and I almost called Collin like he had told me to. Cuz oh yea, my phone is working again (I couldn't hear anybody on the other line, and they couldn't hear me). But, when I texted him telling him we got in ok, he didn't answer me. So, I figured I didn't want to wake him up. I'll probably have a text from him in the morning when I wake up tho. =]
And now I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted, and feel like I'm gonna pass out. I just wanted to do a quick update before I went to bed. And I'm gonna try to take a picture of the present I'm making for my 6 month old baby cousin and also for Allyson, Collin's little sister. Both presents are a work in progress right now, and I gotta get Riley's done by Saturday. Unfortunately I can't send Ally's to her before Christmas, so Tonya, if you could just tell her that I have a present for her once I get back?? lol =]
I hope everybody has a safe Christmas this year!!! =]

Fun day with Collin and his family

Ok, so, Collin and Fred picked me up at like, 3:30 ish. Collin came to the back door, and I saw something sticking out of his hoodie pocket. I grabbed my purse and his present, and he and I went outside to go to his stepmom's grandparents' house for the holiday party. That's when he handed me a card and a Dove chocolate rose. The card was soooo cute. Especially what he put underneath all the writing that the card already said. =] I gave him his present, and then we got in the car. Just as I was getting in the car, I saw this giant teddy bear. I was thinking "No, can't be for me" and then after he gets in the car too, he looks at me and says "The bear is your's" and then Fred hands back a box of Godiva chocolates and Collin hands them to me. So, he got me a ton of chocolate, a bear, and a really cute card. He opened his present I gave him, a Korn CD. He said he really liked it. I still couldn't believe he got me all that stuff tho. Here is a picture of the bear.

Ain't it cute!?!? =]
So, we got to the party. We ate some food, and then me, Collin, Michael, Allyson, Tonya, Fred, Adam, Randy, and Colt all went on a walk around the farm. Boy was it cold!!! Haha It was fun tho. When we finally got back to the house, I couldn't feel my toes. Haha. So I sat next to the heater trying to warm up my toes. haha. That's when people started opening up presents. Tonya handed me one bag, and said "This is from me and Fred." I opened up the bag, and saw a can of Diet Coke and a bar of Godiva Dark Chocolate. The Diet Coke didn't last very long. haha. Neither did the chocolate. She bought me a Diet Coke cuz she knows I love it. =] Yes, I know that I'll more than likely switch over to Pepsi since they all drink Pepsi haha Then she handed me another bag. I opened it up, and saw a picture frame that had 5 pictures of me and Collin in it. =] On the top of the frame it said "Padme & Anakin" and on the bottom said "October 13, 2008" It is soooo cute. I'm gonna take a picture of it soon and put it on here once I take a picture of it. I'm like, in love with it. =]
Then pictures were taken in front of the tree. First Collin, Allyson, and Michael. Then Fred and Tonya were added in the picture. Then Randy, Jamie, Colt, and James got their picture taken in front of the tree. then I dunno who all went. Haha. Too many names to remember. Sorry everybody in the family!!! Haha. After I thought all the pictures were done, someone (probably Randy) had to say that I hadn't gotten up yet for any pictures. So, Collin and I had our picture taken in front of the tree. If Tonya ever puts those up somewhere, I'll snag them from her. Haha =]
Then it was time for me to leave. So, Fred and Collin drove me home. Bringing in all my gifts was a hassle. Especially since Tonya also baked cookies for my mom and grandfather thanking them for all their trouble picking Collin up along with me after school every Tuesday almost. haha. So, Collin took in the cookies while I grabbed all my presents.
So, today/tonight was a very good night. I had lots of fun at the party with Tonya's family. They're all so nice. And I loved my Christmas presents I got too. =]
