december.. you keep delivering.
i actually caught myself enjoying school today.
i love my director. i love all of my teachers. and i love love love all my classmates.
i also have a minor girl crush on the client i got today.. she. was. amazing.
and she totally hooked it up for a job at in n out.
do you know they start you out working ten bucks an hour!
TEN DOLL HAIRS! ...just for washing down tables!
ridiculous i tell you. ridiculous.
i pulled the ultimate surprise on desiree today.
when we went back to the big ML for thanksgiving she found the most darling coat in vans.
it fit every inch of her black little body perfect!
but it was far too expensive to purchase for a coat you'll only wear for one third of the year.
BUT.. that didn't stop my mama :) ..that angel she is.
that coat has been burning a hole under my bed for weeks now.
i've been dying to give it to her.
today she was about to go on the prowl for a winter coat when i had to lock her inside the apartment! i was suppose to wait and give it to her before she left for brooklyn, but it was time.
watching her peel off the bright red wrapping paper melted my heart.
she opened up the box and stopped when she saw the beautiful blue coat carefully folded and tucked away in it.
her afro head snapped up, tears built up in her dark eyes, and a smirk began to erupt from her lips.
"it's the coat."
"it's the coat."
"it's the coat."
that's all she could say!
"it's the coat." she unfolded it and held up like mufasa holding up simba.
"it's the coat."
her eyes were about 2 inches wide and she stared at the coat in disbelief.
now i know this moment sounds way magical, but it probably could've been a million dollar hit video on youtube.
she was dumbfounded, and she literally said "it's the coat." at least 500 times, tears streaming down her face.
me, alisa, and tilly are all practically having children we're laughing so hard.
all of us watching as desiree got off the couch, still holding the coat up like simba, and walked around like she was being tazed, eyes going all kinds of crazy.
all of us cried, and now we all have sick packs from so much laughter.
FHE was delightful.
we had a gingerbread house making contest!
i was far too bust eating all of the cotton candy, chocolate covered cinnamon bears, and red hots to actually help construct any gingerbread house whatsoever.. but i took some dang good pictures..
my FHE group is probably the grestest one on earth.. and i WILL drop kick anyone who tries to tell me anything differently.
you better believe we had another christmas concert.
i'm sure it sounded awful to everyone else, but we were living in the moment and being complete mariah carey prodigies with dancing skills like madonna.
we burned thousands of calories and guzzled water like we had just came out of a drought.
the party animal in me just died.
i'm going to watch "walking dead" and pass out in my bed now.
thanks for reading :)
