this is going to be what i call "speed blogging" because it's 11:35 and i have to be at the bakery at 6 am tomorrow...whoops. if things are misspelled and my grammar is incorrect, i apologize ahead of time.
1. the bakery!
today i worked as a packer, which means i was packaging pretty much all the stuff that needs to be put in bags for retail. let me tell you, i packaged so much peppermint bark i was up to my EARS in that stuff. it was really good though, i definitely "bonded" with chef matt, the head baker. i also got to talk to alysha for a long time, which was super fun. i got to see a lot of people i haven't seen for an entire semester, so that was good!
2. miguels
so for dinner, my family likes to eat mexican food from miguel's, a little place here in town. i haven't had it in a looong time so it was nice to finally have it again, even if i still smell like mexican food.
3. caroling in napa
tonight we went caroling in napa with the morgans (lisa, olivia, luke, and kai), the navas (michelle and sebastian), and the morrills (suzanne and katie). it was so much fun! i've always found it slightly awkward to carol, just because, well, it is. but tonight was great! we went to downtown napa and we actually sang for a few different restaurants. at one place, they opened the doors for the guests to listen, but they were all still talking. at the other restaurant, they opened the doors and windows, but everyone stopped talking just to hear us sing. it was really fun, and they applauded us afterward. it was precious.
oh, side note, at one of the houses we caroled at, there was a bulldog who came to greet us. i think all of the hughes' died (another fun side note, i just typed out 'died' and 'dighed'...whoops). it made me miss homer so much, but it was so nice to hear some snorting again. i told my parents that i wanted santa to bring us a bulldog puppy. preferably in april when i am home for the summer. i told them that it was really important that he do that thing. we'll see if he ends up doing that for me.
4. telephone-pictionary
i have heard this game be called many different things, but our families call it pictionary-telephone. it's the game where you write a phrase, then draw a picture of that phrase, then write what you think the picture is showing, then draw a picture of the new phrase, and so on and so forth. you get the basic idea. it's always hilarious. our phrases always turn into hilarious things, like "goodie two-shoes" going to "the sum of two shoes, putnam" to "ingrown toe nails." we had another one that started out as luke shooting sebastian, and it turned into an indian shooting abraham lincoln. i found that one especially hilarious because we sometimes call sebastian "sebastian-ham lincoln." sometimes we think he looks like abe. it's good times. i haven't laughed so hard in a looong time.
5. the ride home
on the ride home, we just kept having word mix-ups. my dad made a joke about l. tom perry being quoted by p diddy on his twitter (december 21st, that's what's up!) and called him l. tom piddy...i guess you just had to be there. then we got egg nog shakes from jack-in-the-box (family tradition), and when i was taking the wrapper off the straw, it was so tight that it was squeaking. of course i had to tell the family, so i said, "listen to how tight this wrapper is!" my family heard,"listen to how tight this rapper is!" and expected me to play some rap song. it was funny. maybe you had to be there for that, too. but it was hilarious.
well, that was my day. now i'm off to sleep! night!
