Holidays....

Fun times.... umm it was an interesting christmas! I love my family-- I really do but it can be a bit much sometimes! I had 16 people (including me) here and depending on the day 1-2 people sleeping over for 3 days. It wasn't horrible but I was a bit overwhelmed. I guess I'm just not used to having kids around. I got some cool stuff... the major item was my new digital camera-- yay!! The one I was using created halos on everything and it really sucked. I got other stuff too but it is too much to list! That was Christmas in a nutshell.

Then my friend visited me and stayed through the New Year. We picked up a friend and then drove 2.5 hours to see my friends and their new place. We had sooo much fun! It was great until some drunk guy kept hitting on me... it was interesting for sure! It was still my best New Year's because I usually stay in or have a party up in my apartment... Anyways hope yours was fun as well!


Yesterday was my annual Christmas party for my extended family. I wasn't looking forward to it for a few reasons.

• I knew they would ask how we were doing (my 23 year old brother passed away in Sept.)
• I have to see people my age already married and pregnant-- (two of my 2nd cousins' wives are expecting) while I am still single
• Most of the people their either are older or younger than me (or I don't really know)
• We have to drive 1.5-2 hours to get there

I guess it wasn't too bad... it's like a Secret Santa gift exchange and I got a bottle of liquor (Wide Eyed Cherry Bomb to be specific) and $25 in cash! I also got to meet my 15 year old cousin's girlfriend! All I can say is he was awfully brave to bring her... lol It was just a long day....

I am looking forward to Saturday though... my friends are hopefully coming over and I can give out presents because I haven't seen some of them for quite awhile! I guess that's all for now!
