a house just caught on fire down the street.
i think it was just a chimney fire.
and i think everyone is o.k.

naturally, once the excitement died down..
i rushed to the computer to write about it in my el jay.

gotta go to work.
gotta go to work.
gotta have a job.

Dear Santa,

This is Allison.
I am writing to tell you of my behavior this past calendar year.
It has been good.
Nay, outstanding.
Nay-nay, exemplary.
I might even go so far as to say that I have been a paragon of virtue,
a shining example.
Indeed, a role model &inspiration to people everywhere.

-ok,
allison.

Mason and I got up early and went to the christmas parade.
Went to IHOP afterwords.
Some big, old guy was staring/winking at me

Dad and I put up the christmas lights today.
Sam and Ethan're over, playing.
Work at five.

Thus far, good day. <3 ( Read more... )

more of a reminder for myself than for your leisure reading.

Today...
I quit On the Border.
I work a double at El Chico.
I need to start&finish the dialogue for creative writing.
I need to read the next few chapters in The Scarlet Letter.
I need to finish comprehension questions.
I should probably wash clothes.
I should probably shower.
