I'll be home for Christmas...or maybe not

So I just realized that its November...so I should start planning my trip home for Christmas. I looked at flights on Delta and they are about $800!!!! I can't believe it. I have a $300 credit on Delta thanks to a flight to Charleston that was canceled. But still...I think its outrageous to pay $800 to fly home. I am sad, but seriously who has that kind of money to spend on flying home for 3-4 days? I don't! My other thought is that my brother and his wife are having a baby in May and damn...my youngest sister is probably getting married around then-so maybe I'll just wait to go home then. 

But I miss my Abbey! I was planning on going home in December to get her. This is the worst news ever. Also....I don't have any family out here. I mean I have some great friends. I live with one my dear friends and her family... so its not like I'm completely alone. It will just be my first Christmas away. Just when I leave home my family actually starts doing some interesting things. I'm missing the whole pregnancy and watching my sister in law balloon up. I'm missing Heather's impending engagement. And the boy I loved broke my heart. (I only mention it because I dreamt of him all night.) 

But here I am living my adventure. I just have to keep focused on my goals...because I'm about to start two jobs in retail. haha I got hired at the Body Shop for seasonal work. They only can promise me 10-16 hours a week. Since I can't even support my phone habits with that job...I will be getting another one. I had an interview at Restoration Hardware yesterday and it went really well. I will have the second interview this week and so I'll let you know how it goes. The guy that interviewed me was so cute! I didn't see a ring...but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. 

Big sigh. When did it get so expensive to fly home, drive across the city and buy a Starbucks? I can't wait for Obama to be President and change things. 

Lots of love on a Sunday morning. I hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep I gave you.

Ah, I'm sorry you're not going to be home for christmas. I lived away from home for two Christmas's. The first year sucked,but the second year was a great experience. It totally had to do with my attitude and trying to make the best of it. So I think you'll have a good experience. But I'll miss you!
