I feel like I haven't written in forever... Christmas Eve I went to Staten Island to see my dad's side of the family... All italian style... It was so much fun, italians really know how to make you feel welcome!!!  Christmas Day we took the 3 hour drive to CT, fun, fun, fun... My mom's irish side of the family, the only thing they know how to do is drink.  Talk about a sterotype... LoL  I got everything I asked for pluse a really cute amthest/silver ring, money, Christen Dior's new perfume; Pure Posion, clothes and a few other cute things.  I was very pleased this year!   

Christmas Day we got home around 9 then Nicole called me and said she was going to CVS at midnight because they have some sort of after Christmas 50% off sale, I swear Nicole's Aunt Cindy is the only person who knows about all these odd sales, but she's a sweety and I love her!  Sunday I went shopping with Jen & my sister, Caitlin, then I stopped by my cousin Chris' to give him his gift... I got a sweater, a heart shaped silver necklace with a purple stone it in, and a candle that said, HoHoHo, think he's trying to tell me something??? (Gotta love family...LoL) For some odd reason I get this desire to have all my friends get together every now and then and something always happens, you'd think I'd learn to stop... not me!  I love having my friends all together at once and usual the only way they can stand or at least pretend to stand each other is at birthday's, but it was all my fault when I tried to have everyone meet at the Olive Garden Sunday night... We get there, all is well... Then Chris slipped and said I told him Pete (Nicole's ex gay boyfriend) kisses Antoine (Nicole's current, black boyfriend who everyone thinks is gay) when the two of them were alone.  Anyway, everyone was making jokes and my cousin Chris is gay, so Antoine & Nicole felt compelled to make fun of him and he was nice about it and just laughed it off.  Then Antoine got annoyed because everyone kept saying he was gay and if he was just admit it, we'd be ok with it... Nicole was laughing so I figured she was fine, guess again Laurie.  One thing led to another and Antoine blurted out that Nicole was pregnant... WTF?  She told me they hadn't had sex yet, in fact she'd call me all upset on sevreal occassions telling me there had to be something wrong because they were dating for 3 months and they hadn't done anything yet.  I was so pissed off, it's one thing to be having sex and not want anyone to know, but it's quite another to be asking for advice and getting upset over it and lying when you are in fact having sex.  Well, Jen said Nicole was either doing it for attention or because Antoine really did kiss Pete and now they need a cover, I thought about it and maybe Jen's right.  Who knows, but more importantly who cares?  I could care less if he kissed Pete or if Pete kissed him, only Chris thinks he's gay so who cares, why get upset, you're with a girl, so obviously you're straight... I'd think you'd only get that upset if it was true or you thought it possibily could be true, right?  Anyway, dinner was over and we all walk out, I go over to Nicole's car to say bye and she blurts out that she's mad at me for telling them Pete kissed Antoine, ok I get you're mad, but she tells shit all the time, and I understand I shouldn't have said anything, but come on, who cares?  She got way too upset over it.  So we had a fight on the phone like an hour later.  I said we weren't friends anymore, more over the fact that Antoine was yelling at me in the parking lot and she did nothing about it, which Nicole has a tendency to do...  She always takes her boyfriends side over her friends and from experience the boyfriends are the ones who never stick around.  So I got a 100 page E-mail from her that night and I never wrote back so she imed me and got all pissy because I didn't start yelling back and she ended our friendship, so whatever, not a big deal.  I'm over it as Nicole would say.  Maybe if she learned to keep things to herself, I'd be more inclined to shut my mouth...   Chris, Jen & Kathy all told me I'm better off and Marissa's been telling me for years she only puts up with her becuase of me, but I really don't talk to Marissa often anymore....
