Okay, since I didn't actually get to spend Christmas doing my normal things, I've been pretty sad. Last night I fell asleep thinking about all my memories at my aunt and uncle's. I miss their tree, and someone handing out presents, and doing scratcher tickets from Santa, and stockings, and drinking coffee, and eating the cassarole... on and on. Our Christmas was nice. Santa came! He brought really cool stuff and drank our RedBull. It was really nice to be with my mom. We didn't plan on not getting a holiday meal, so what we had to eat was burritos and a cheese ball.

So, I'm feeling kind of sad, but I'm also happy that we got to see how other families might have to spend their Christmas. It's kind of a neat experience.

Plus, here's the really good thing! I called worked today because we were supposed to leave and try to get to Springfield so I could work at 330pm. We were going to leave at 10am. So, I wake up at 8:30am and my mom tells me that it's still snowing and the news is saying don't drive unless you absolutely have to. And that they're giving tickets if you get stuck and don't have snow tires. So, I called one of my managers. He said he couldn't decide for me and the weather was perfect there. So, we called MODOT and they said "I don't know how good of a driver you are, so I can't tell you if you'd make it or not. It's clear passed Bolivar." Well, that was helpful. :) At about the time that we were trying to find another number to call, another manager called and said that the other head cashier will close and to be safe. So, I feel really cared for and happy knowing that they care enough to talk about it and call me and tell me to stay home. I'm very happy about this.

So, here are my 5 things:
1. My managers at work!
2. Spending Christmas with my mom.
3. Pretty (yet evil) snow.
4. Across Mo Secret Santa
5. Grow Your Own Salad Kit.

Now, I hope to hear from Matt soon... he left from Clinton this morning to make it to work by noon. His phone is off because the battery is low... so, hopefully I'll hear from him soon.
