Christmas Recap
Today is Christmas.
Mom, Dad, Dondi, Elena and Pete, Farrah and I all had tons of fun opening our gifts this morning. Unfortunately Farrah had to leave early to make it back to Minnesota. Elena and Pete went back home after all the festivities, and Dondi left soon after as well. I took a nice long nap (about 4 hours.)
Mom, Dad, and I had dinner together and then Heather came over to bring me a gift. She MADE all of it!!!!
A hat! A scarf, and leg warmers!!! Amazing? I think so.
Now I'm off with the 'rents to see The Golden Compass...
Merry Christmas everyone!

Audrey's Present
Audrey opened her present from me today!
What could it be?
"A box!"
Still unsure...
O there it is! PINK BOOTS.
Trying them on for size.
They're a hit!

New Digi
I leave Virginia today for some Kansas adventures!
So, since I'm leaving I got to open my Christmas presents early at the Facer household.
I'll put up pictures of what I got later today...
In addition I also got a Christmas bonus in the form of a digital camera!!
It's the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!
Now I can more fully document my life and this blog will greatly benefit I think.
However, it's kind of hard to take a picture of a new camera with the camera, but my friend Kara and I did have a mini photo session. So here you go.

2007 Favorites
In addition to Elena's list I have decided to contribute my own favorites from this year.
In no particular order...
1. Rock the Bells. On July 28th I attended a Hip Hop concert in NYC on Randall's Island. It was an all day event and by far one of the craziest things I've done. Some of the band's included The Roots, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine, Mos Def... I rolled my ankle earlier in the day and thought I was fine until RATM came on and I started raging (jumping up and down, moshing, going nuts, screaming, dancing.) During this segment I broke one of my flip flops, dude, why was I wearing flip flops? Because I'm an idiot. Anyways, the point is I was jumping up and down barefoot and ended up screwing up my ankle even more. By the end of the night Leo was calling me blackfoot, and I could barely walk. The night was capped off by a homeless women trying to sell me a pair of reeboks. Which Leo found hilarious and egged her on, so I had to purchase them. Although, I did NOT wear them. I made our friend Fhil wear them and I sported his high top Nikes instead. The next morning I limped my way to Chinatown in the pouring rain, and was out of commission for the next 3 days (because of the busted ankle.)
2. Well, it's hard to top the above scenario. But, another adventure would be moving to Virgina. In August I took the long train ride into Woodbridge (about 8 hours.) I became a live in nanny for little miss Audrey. She's two years old and by far the cutest kid I've ever seen. She's so well behaved and I couldn't ask for a better job. I get to live with my amazing sister Amber, and brother in law Ryan. Not only have I got to know them better, but I've made friends here and am comfortable calling it my home. I'm enrolled for school this spring , and really feel like my life is pointed in the right direction.
3. Costco... I couldn't leave my dearest friend Costco out of the mix. They've got samples, clothing, books, movies, dollar pizza, and everything else you could imagine. I used to make fun of Amber for her love of Costco, but now there's a special place in my heart for it. Thanks for the corduroys Costco... and the nice winter coat. Also, I have to add on the Potomac Mills Mall. You can't go wrong with outlet stores, and although the mall makes it hard to save money my wardrobe has greatly benefited from it.
4. Boston in the summertime. In the month of May Sam left me all alone in the big city of Boston. I was nervous at first, but soon made friends through work and got to take part in the Red Sox madness. I worked in a restaurant a block from Fenway park and business was booming. During that time I waited on Jason Varitek and his family, experienced the awesome nightlife of Boston, and had an all around amazing time. Even though my apartment didn't have air conditioning I enjoyed every minute of it. Elena came to visit me during those summer months and she can fill you in on how hot it was. We had so much fun laughing together and I enjoyed watching her suffer without air conditioning.
There is so much more that I could add on here. It's been a big year, but this post has already taken up quite a bit of time so I'll have to submit a second segment later....

Herbal Remedies
I'm talking hot tea people... C'mon now.
So, considering it's cold season and the weather is changing I've been drinking lots and lots of herbal tea. My favorite is probably the Tension Tamer, but Amber has an impressive collection to choose from so I'm trying to mix it up a bit. I drink at least 2 cups a day if not more. It's just so relaxing. Currently I'm drinking the Red Vanilla Madagascar. MMmmmmm.

Pathetic I know..

Andre the CrAzY cat.
So I was just talking to my friend Sam on the phone when she told me that her cat Andre was acting strange. Then, she screams, "O my gosh, Andre is taking a sh*t on my nightgown... Genny, I'm going to have to call you back I have to deal with this!"
That was about thirty minutes ago. I hope Andre and the nightgown are okay. HAahahaha!
ANDRE:

Snow Day...
...well not quite. It's snowing outside, and earlier everything was covered, but now it's just melting when it hits the ground. There's nothing better than some hot soup on a cold winter day! Amber, Margaret, Audrey, and I all had some Pho for lunch. It's a delicious Vietnamese soup. I had a picture of it for all of you, but the computer hookup is mia... so I'll just have to explain it. You get a container full of hot broth (with ginger, basil, and a little cinnamon,) then you add your noodles, bean sprouts, this delicious spicy sauce, and some thinly sliced beef. Stir and enjoy. It's got an amazing flavor and is soooo yummy on such a chilly day.
Okay I googled it and found a picture. MMMmm!!

I am the famous...
John F. Kennedy.
I won't be riding in a convertible any time soon.
After seeing Elena compared to Saddam Hussein I had to see how I stacked up.

Sorry sorry sorry! I know I haven't updated in a while so I apologize. I have lots of fun pictures to put up dealing with Christmas, but those will have to wait for another day. Until then I'll give you all a heads up as to where I am in my Virginia life right now.
Last week I went up to NoVa (the community college I'll be attending,) and I found out all the courses I should be taking. So I'm in the process of signing up for my classes for January. I have to go and take two placement tests today, or someday this week. One for English and one for Math. I'm nervous about the math one because I haven't done any Algebra in about 3 years now! After that, I'll be ready to enroll. YAY! "Back to school... Back to school to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. Here's a Billy Madison clip for enlightenment.
