*cool running*

Oh Sanka, i feel just like him right now..."Im freezing my royal rastafarian ne-ne's off!"-sanka  It is SOOO cold. I look at all of my clothes in the morning and think " I freeze in this!"-sanka. Then when i walk camilla to school or go outside at all, all you see is big puffs coming from everyones faces and i think "sanka whatcha smokin??" "im not smokin, im breathin!!" Im afraid my hair is going to break off like his. I HAVE to blow dry it now :( I've gone 3 months without any heat touching my hair, hoping it would grow but this stupid cold is dryin out my hair even worse and its breaking ahhhhh all i want is mermaid hair! Not fair. Thennnnn when i either push leone in the stroller to the school or have to hold both of their hands on the way there, my hands get so frozen that once we get inside i feel like harry&lloyd from dumb and dumber where they finally make it to aspen and harry is frozen onto lloyds back hahaha my grip feels stuck. Its so cold that as soon as you get inside the difference in temperature makes your nose run and you sweat all of a sudden so i take my jacket off at the exact moment i walk in the door and rip off my scarf haha i feel like the grinch " i hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, double hate, LOATHEEE entirely" the cold. And constantly dressing little kids in clothing for it is so annoying. Leone hates his jackets so its always a fight trying to get him to wear them and then he hates walking in his snow boots so he just cries and then his face gets extra cold so i have no choice but to hold this poor little kid and he is heavy! Its snowing right now...been snowing for the last like 6 hours straight...i have a love hate relationship with it...inside, i love looking out at it but i know once im in it im gunna be like okayyyyy wheres the sun? My feet have always been cold, so now that im actually in cold weather, they are like blocks of ice i swear. Same with my hands (im typing so freaking slow right now) Its just so weird!! Buttttt it does seem very christmassy and i LOVE that :)

its beginning to look alot like CHRISTMAS! :)

^i hope you all sang the title because i did :) Ahhh i just love this time of year especially when the house is dark and only the christmas tree lights are on and the cinnamon candles are lit with a cup of hot chocolate MMMMMM  if only i had my christmas cd gosh i cant believe i left that at home. Aw well, actually i might be coming home for christmas. im not positive yet. My visa expires in 11 days and we've been callin all over the place to figure out what i need to do. At first they were like okay we will just send you to london for a few days or a week to stay with their friend but then they remembered my brother gets married on the 21st and depending on how much it is they might send me back to mesa for 2-3 weeks (but im not sure if i go home if they expect me to pay the travel expenses so im kinda confused) and then have me meet them in florida -_- just my luck for vacation and then go back to italy....we dont really know yet hahah everythings up in the air, i might not even have to leave. So right now i have no idea. Anyways i got lost goin to church today. my gps wouldnt turn on and i thought i knew how to get there haha well actually i did. i saw the exit and i tried to get over but like i said these italians are maniacs and it was either make the exit and possibly dieeee or miss it and live so i chose the later and thought it would be just like america exits so i exited the next one...."wrongooo" (the grinch) the exit put me onto a differnt freeway that didnt have an exit for 18 miles and i had to go through toll booths oh my gosh i was talkin to myself and yelling "ahhhh which one which one?!!?" cuz they have a pre-paid thing in their car so i can go into a different lane and it will open automatically, like i wont have to roll down my window and pay, it just charges the thing in the car. Everything is written in italian so i was driving with cars behind me using process of elimination tryin to decide which line to get it. I GUESSED RIGHT :) i ended up drivin for over an hour through a couple little towns and reading tons of signs as fast as i could until i recognized either lago di garda/brescia/milano/verona and headed in that direction and thinking "seriously im trying to get to church help me out here!" haha but i made it to church for half of class and sacrament so i didnt miss it all just half! Oh and the whole time the light for gas was on but he said he had a reserve tank or something so that i would make it to church and back but i was freakin out cuz he said i would make it TO church AND back...not knowing i'd get lost and end up driving over 30 more miles so i was scared plus i dont know how to work the gas machines here since they are all different and in a different language and i ran out of money on my phone so i had no way to call them...geez do i gotta get my crap together! :)

 "Martha-mae-who-ve-ayyy has the best lights" hahahahaha i miss all the christmas movies, i hope i can find some on TV!

 I LOVE the big wooden stars. All of her ornaments are so fancy, i know you cant tell in the pics but the tree is so pretty.

Sometimes i catch myself staring at the trees instead of watching the actual tv :)

stupid computer

I had like 30 pics and a few stories all written up and all of a sudden everything got deleted so now im just mad cuz it took a long time haha soooooo im not even gunna re-write the stories. to keep it short- i can not wait to have little boys of my own!!!!!  i love christmas. we went to Brescia. i will smuggle leone back in my suitcase cuz i am obsessed with him. um lucio and luisa went to verona and there was a flash mob of 17,000people danging the gangnam style dance, now i cant wait to go to verona cuz they showed me lots of pics and its been raining alot. The end.

 i spent 50 euros on this expensive chocolate :/ but it had our name on it i couldnt just pass it by!!! Plus it wasnt for me so i dont feel like i wasted it on myeslf haha but geez thats equivalent to like 65 bucks and i am not even close to done buying chocolate for you guys.

 ^ hot chocolate ring around his head& my gelato lunch date :) i finally got up enough nerve to go into a shop by myself and order. but only cuz there was no one in there so i didnt feel like an idiot :)

Nutella...breakfast of champions right here!

So they tuned the piano...still sounds like crap and the keys stick and are broken buttt its better than nothing. Leone would take his hammer and hammer each time she would use hers aww he is so cah-ute! Also when i would play he would yell "bravo a-ca bravooo!" and clap after each song. too cute.

NYPD and camo=he's so hardcore

hahah hi bummmm! if he couldnt see me, he didnt think i could see him...

this picture cracks me up cuz he was so determined to smile even though it was hard with the sun so bright.

he loves chickens...LOVES.

For reals? pink hello kitty bmw bike? way to ruin it huh?
