Christmas break, or as the government calls it, holiday break, has gone by so fast. I can't believe this time next week I'll be back in Orlando. I love it here. Sure there isn't much to do here, but I love the people here so much. I miss them. I will miss them when I leave. I am glad I have had a chance to spend time with them though on my visit. So, what did I do on Christmas Eve? I worked on my stocking like a mad woman all day, but wasn't able to finish that day. :( That evening I went to Tomas' to give him a present. I ended up staying there for an hour. It was pretty fun actually. It made me happy. He showed me his drums, his room, and we looked at Paraguay pictures. He gave me a present too. His mommy gave me cookies she made. They were soooooo good!! Then, I went home and got ready and went to church. My grandma went with us. I was glad. I played sax, my mom played piano and Sis Kaye led the muisic. I sang a special and so did this other lady. It was cool. When I got home, I sewed more. Before 8am on Christmas day my brother jumped on my bed to wake me up. Oh the joys. I was so tired because I was kinda sick and I stayed up late trying to finish my stocking. I read the Christmas story, Luke 2:1-20. Afterwards, we opened our presents. I got some nice things.. digital camera that hooks up to this thing and prints them out, panties, socks, jewelry, nice black jacket, scrapbook stuff, pjs, money, a dvd, a concordance, gift card, makeup, toothbrush, shoes, and other stuff I can't remember right now. Then, my bro and his wife left and I went in my room to sew more. At noon, we all ate lunch together.. we had pork, mashed potatoes, corn, plantains and cuban bread. MMMM yum!! It was delicious. Then, I worked on my stocking more, and amazingly FINISHED!!!! :-) I was so very happy. We went to the movies in the afternoon to see Cheaper by the Dozen. That was pretty good. Before I knew it, Christmas had pretty much come to an end. I hugged my mom for a long time before I went to bed. She is going back up to the doctors on the 30th. I want her to get better. I hate for her to suffer. I just remembered what else I got!! I got this volleyball precious moments girl with my name engraved. It is pretty sweet looking. :-) Today I hung out with Klara, Tina, Tomas and Tim. It was pretty fun. First we all went to Tomas' house. We went to visit Sarah after a while. After that we went to Kmart for a while and ended up getting a pizza from Little Ceasars. We went to the petstore after that. Then.. we went to the corner store.. they got Guarana and we went to the beach/park thing. It was fun. I enjoyed it. There were lots of little kids there, oh well. Then.. we went to this other pet store... it was bigger and had cooler animals. They were kind of loud in there. When we got out Klara sat on this big cart thing in front of Smart and Final.. she wanted me to push her.... ::shakes head:: We went into the store but they were giving us dirty looks so we left. Then.. we went to Bealls outlet. We were looking at the toys. But before we went in there I was like.. we can't be too loud in here.. this is an old person's store. They laugh at me. Anyways.. so I pressed this hampster dude thing.. and they were looking at other toys. Then.. I went to look at picture frames.. next thing I knew they were like.. Laura we have to go. I was like.. ok.. so when we got out they told me this dude told them they had to leave. I guess they were too loud or something. I dunno. They actually were behaving rather well in there considering.... LoL Then Laura was like, no more stores.. we'll go to Laura's house. I showed them my pictures.. we played nintendo a little bit.. and I dunno. Later we went to the movies... we saw Paycheck. It was a good movie. The lights went out during it though. We had to wait like 15 minutes or so. Tina threw like half of her popcorn on Tomas and I. I was NOT happy. :-( Very UNHAPPY. The movie was good though. After the movie I dropped them to Blockbuster and went home. It was like 7pm. I couldn't take it anymore. It was cool and fun and all.. I don't like to be loud and stupid or stuff in public.. it is embarrasing and immature.. I mean I'm all for that like at people's house or something.. but when you go out.. you need to behave and respect things.. you know? Maybe I am getting old or something.. I dunno.. but I just wanna do whats right.. but still have fun.. oh well.. then tonight I had dinner with my family and then went for a walk with Katherine... that was nice.. we walked for almost an hour and a half. It was good to be with her. I have more on my mind... but I'm going to chat now.
