do you see what i see

okay, i would have really loved to have told you personally. but for my first day of the afterschool program (where students actually could show up), we had ONE stay for one program. that was okay. and as my partner and i have an interesting track record (we temporarily broke the laminator last week), we shouldn't have been surprised that we set off an alarm in one of the classrooms! but we were and i tried to keep my cool, calling our supervisor and letting her know our dilemma. then we had to talk to the police who came and tell them what happened and how we were new staff without access codes. but i think everything is okay. we'll see tomorrow when the teaching staff questions us. yeah, so an interesting "first day."

otherwise, i finally quenched my boba craving at the only place i drink boba these days: little bean. and i went with the boy and we ended up running into my brother and his little bean crew! haha. funny. oh and we saw a funny in the parking lot: a couple who each drove the same car, color and make. the boy and i thought it was cute. haha. and i thought it was overkill. ha.

my favorite xmas song for its cheerfulness factor is "it's the most wonderful time of the year."

thanks, jess, for your shout-out! and my computer doesn't always show me all your updates when you post; so i thought that you were going dry with your posts, but then i saw like 3 new ones for each one of you! so confusion.

--edit--
do you ever have moments that are like freeze-frames from movies? brief instances where you look around you and everything is perfect and you wouldn't want to be anywhere else? i had one on graduation day may 22,2005 while driving back to school from the boy's. the sun shined beautifully through the thin clouds in the sky and everything in my life felt whole. i felt one with the world for that brief moment. i had another moment like that last night. while reading over my health textbook for my class, christmas music filled the room with felicity as the boy sat across the room studying. it felt cozy and comfy, like christmas time at home.
