Finally
Schwesterlein is finally home! Well, she’s at her apartment because of our cats. But anyway, we finally had our Christmas, and we opened out Christmas presents (with the exception of the Wii). I finally got all the Wii accessories, and I am FINALLY listening to Glee Volume 2. I forgot how great Glee makes my life, and I cannot wait for season 2. Nor can I wait until I have to buy season 1...

OH MY GOD it’s so good. Mum is staying at her dude’s, J went out to watch the football for a couple of hours. I’m watching Legally Blonde, eating yummy things and thinking about things like purses.
I KNOW. It’s a cliché. But it’s one of my favourite things ever. And I enjoy my alone time.
Ahhh. Good times.
Mmmm. Purses.
I KNOW. Also because...
I'm Such a Kid
After four days of waiting, I finally gave in an opened my Wii. The Wii accessories that I got will wait until Schwesterlein gets out of the hospital, but I think I earned a little bit of fun and enjoyment during my winter break. So I opened the Wii so I have time to enjoy it.
Schwesterlein has blood clots in her left arm now. :( So she’ll probably be in the hospital for a few more days. I...

Lunch
I’m going to the French Laundry for lunch with one of my mom’s good friends, Lauri. It’s nice because it will take my mind off what’s going on with my sister, and I won’t be stuck in the house all day. It’s times like these that really make me appreciate my surrogate mothers.
This restaurant is amazing and the best thing that ever happened to the next town over...

Crystal Ball

As I sit here listening to “Crystal Ball” by Keane, I must thank Erin for introducing me to such a great band. This girl really has great taste in music. Come to think of it, she’s just an all-around grood person.
So I guess this post is a toast to my good friend, Erin. :)
Awww Keane are pretty much amazing. I finally talked to someone else who liked them...

The Unopened Wii
Because my sister is in the hospital and has been since Wednesday, someone needed to wrap the Christmas presents. Obviously my mom is NOT in the Christmas spirit or in the mood to wrap the presents. I took it upon myself to “save” Christmas; although, we haven’t really had Christmas yet.
On Christmas Eve, I wrapped all the presents for my entire family (at least the ones I could...

The hospital my sister is in is a Catholic hospital. Therefore, above every door, there is a crucifix. It kind of reminds me of your room in Mayen. I giggled when I saw it. Inappropriate? Yes. But that’s me.
Love,
Jessica
Hopefully the beds/closets are a bit more sturdy than mine were. I enjoy that you connected the crucifix...

Nertz Quotes: My Favorites
Nertz is this card game my cousins and I always play when we get together for holidays or for fun. It’s fast-paced and crazy, sometimes gets violent, and turns us into completely different people.
“Girl Power!”
“Beeeyahhh!” (Imitating Howard Dean).
“Wahooo?” (Alyssa’s poor imitation of us imitating Howard Dean).
“I hate you.”

The Best Part...
…of wrapping your own Christmas presents is being able to order additional accessories that will be here by the time you get to open the big present.
I got a Wii for Christmas!

Good News
Mom just called the hospital, and Schwesterlein is getting out of the ICU today. :) She will probably be out by the time some of you read this. Such good news.
Merry Freakin' Christmas
Schwesterlein is still in ICU, but today when my dad and I got to the hospital, she was sitting up eating breakfast in chair - solid food, too. They’re going to keep her there as long as fluid is still draining off her heart.
I think my little sister almost died on Wednesday. Pretty scary stuff. That would’ve made Christmas exponentially worse.
I know some great people, and I am so...
I just said "Who is her?" to J
popculture-and-i:
Hahaha oh god, my English is suffering from switching between languages constantly. Hahaha. Who is her. I do say.
That happens to me sometimes (between English and German). One time, I spelled year “jear.” In German, year = Jahr. Hilarity.
Nachricht
So Schwesterlein is still in the hospital and spending tonight in the ICU. Great way to spend Christmas Eve… Anyway. She’ll probably be out of ICU by tomorrow and moved to the regular floor.
Brett came up and spent a lot of time with us, and we came back home, and he provided moral support while I wrapped everyone’s Christmas presents - I think including some of mine. The...
