oh my god I miss you guys so much. I’m telling you, it’s going to be dangerous to have the internet here at the office, I almost burst into tears everytime I read what you guys are up to! by the way, I am a terrible friend and have forgotten tons – o – birthdays, so don’t be surprised if I just start sending random birthday packages (provided I get everyone’s address).

I am suffering from MAJOR cabin fever here in bingo. We have been having ridiculous amounts of snow storms, but there’s no such thing as snow days for me, and it’s just so stupid cold that it’s hard to convince anyone to do anything. this time last year I was getting all excited about going to california, and this year I have no time or money to go anywhere. I can’t even think about going away for a weekend without feeling guilty, so I haven’t run away to my sister’s recently or anything. I miss you guys so much! I want more than anything to go on a big round of visits and see you all.

sorry, enough whining. (not that you guys aren’t used to it) things here otherwise are going well. my Patriots won the superbowl (Frances, it makes me so happy to have you cheering for my teams, hee hee. I think Boston was a good choice) and although I missed Janet’s exposure, my friends had decided that superbowl sunday was the perfect time for me to see my first porn, so I saw some boobs anyway. it was a little ridiculous, and a couple of people were upset when I made them turn it off so we could watch the second half of the game.

work at Marchuska Brothers is going well, there’s actually been stuff to do lately, so I don’t get as bored (my spider solitare play has gone way down). EMS has really slowed down since the holidays are over, but it’s nice to have something to do and I still really like the people I work with. and a ton of the customers are really cool too, so it’s working out really well. I sent out my application to Springfield College, I’m getting my transcripts sent this week, and I am sending out my other two applications soon. my mom asked me if I had a plan incase I don’t get accepted to school, and I said no. her comment was “hmmm, you may want to do that.” hee hee. I’m thinking I’ll go to western mass wether I’m in school or not. it’s time to blow this popsicle stand, and as exciting as traveling far away is, I’m a wuss and can’t be that far from my family.

on the boy front, I guess the proper term is that I’m “seeing” Craig. I mean, I call him, he calls me, we hang out, we make out, etc etc. but nothing is official, so on my mega-emotional days and such I freak-out and wonder if I’m going to hear from him again. truth be told, I’m afraid that I’m going to jinx it if I start acting and talking like it’s a real thing when we haven’t had the “so what is this” conversation. last saturday when I was hanging out with him, his friend Sav was talking about this girl that he’s hooked up with a couple of times and asked me, “why is it that girls always need to define everything?” I told him that it was just the way they work, they have to define it so they know what to expect and how things are going. Craig wasn’t in the room, but I think I gave the impression to Sav that I wasn’t all about that. so now I’m a little nervous to have the conversation, and I understand how annoying a talk it is for guys (my boys have bitched about it often) but… I’m a girl and I want to know.

ok, I think that’s about it in my world, and this is really long. I miss you all and I love you all. I’m going to try to send emails to eveyone in the next day or so so I can say a more personal hello. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo (one for everyone)
