I have tried like a million times to post and I get a paragraph into it and get interrupted so I just give up, close the browser and say, “I’ll do it later.” So… I guess I should start back at Christmas. It was a different kind of Christmas for me because my parents, for the first time, left us home alone. We opened a few gifts on the 22nd after work because my parents left on the 23rd for PA. That was a hectic morning. It actually snowed in Tennessee and I couldn’t get my car out of the driveway because our house is on a hill and the driveway was iced over so I was late to work, which is not cool, but I learned my lesson and will park my car on the street if there is snow in the forecast. I had to work at Bath and Body Works on Christmas Eve, but fortunately it was not so bad because it was busy which made the time fly, and I got off at 2. Christmas Day was relatively uneventful. We opened presents and then I spent the morning and part of the afternoon cleaning with my sister. I went to Pablo’s in the evening for a little, and then we came back to the house for dinner. My sister and I went to see Meet the Fockers which was quite a disappointment. You could see the microphones in almost every scene. The day after Christmas we went to church, then to lunch, and then to find a Christmas tree on sale. We went a few places, but finally found on at Hecht’s for $50. It was originally $200 but with the 75% off it was a steal! I sound like a mother… I am excited about a Christmas tree on sale. Anyhow I spent the next couple of days relaxing. I went to Curves (yes, I joined the old lady gym) and went shopping. On the subject of Curves, it’s not super challenging, but it’s a workout and I don’t feel uncomfortable going. Besides, it’s relatively inexpensive. Regardless, I went to PA on the 29th. I had a lot of fun. I hung out with my parents, and Bryan, Jon and their parents the first night. The second day I was a complete bum only prying myself off the couch to do 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes at Curves. I finally got showered and then went to dinner with my Grandmother. I also went with her to visit my aunt that lives a few houses down. The next day was New Years Eve. I got up and went to Curves and then came back and showered. My parents and I met my ex-step-grandfather and his “whore” (as my grandmother calls her) for lunch. I skipped out early to go run some errands for my parent’s surprise 25th Anniversary party under the guise that I was meeting up with Jon to plan our evening. I then ran to the grocery store for mixers and the liquor store for some alcohol. I went home and chit-chatted with mom and grandma before heading off to the Albrights. At the Albrights I had a few drinks and then we headed off to Matt Painter’s for a little party. At the party I had a few more drinks and the next thing ya know… half of the bottle is gone (and I was the only one drinking from it). I remember walking around and talking to people and stuff, but not many details. I also remember leaving so we could get back to the Albrights and toast the New Year in with Bill, but that didn’t work out well. I passed out and would not get up… so I slept in the New Year. And Uncle Bill was nice enough to bring me a blanket and pillow while I slept in the back seat of Jon’s Cadillac. I don’t have much more time to continue so I’ll update you with further details of my holiday over the weekend. Oh and I will have pictures too :)
