This year for Christmas, Nick, Laura, and Colby came over to open presents with us. I got mostly bath bomb type things in my stocking, but also hot sauce and gum. For presents, I got bath salts, books, a nice Bible, beef jerky, phone cards, another year of antivirus from the same one I got last year, headphones, kitchen utensils, and a safe box ( Read more... )

I have had a crazy week and a half or so. Last weekend my youngest brother, Nick, married his fiancee, Laura, in a little ceremony at her grandma's house. The first festivity was on Friday, 6/19, and Mom and I met Laura and her mom for breakfast at Circle G. Since I called it a non-diet day, I had the special. I had livermush, grits, two over ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Dad and I took a day trip up to Pigeon Forge, and I went to Parrot Mountain. So many cute birds. They had a Red Tailed Black Cockatoo in the petting/feeding area. She was so pretty, and I didn't think I would ever get to see one in real life since black cockatoos are rare even in Australia. I also gave scritches to a Citron crested ( Read more... )

I had some post-worthy stuff happen the past few days. Last week we were snowed in three days, but I still got to walk on the greenway with Mom. The snow was so pretty, and we looked for birds to take their pictures in the snowy trees. We didn't get any though because Mom's camera battery ran out. She did get some pics of a cute cardinal in our ( Read more... )

I've had a good day so far. I went to church this morning, and then my brother came up and we went to lunch. We went to an awesome Indian restaurant that both of us had almost forgotten about. He also gave me jelly bellies and a coloring book. I'll have to hit the sales tomorrow and see what I can find for him when he comes back up tomorrow. ( Read more... )

I went to a bird fair today. It was mostly quakers, conures, and budgies, and Izzy's breeder was there. She had three babies for sale, and one was named Bruiser. She got that name because she bit really hard during hand feeding, but she's sweet now. I didn't buy any birds, although I held Bruiser and played with her. I bought a toy at that ( Read more... )

It was cold this morning when I got up. The big events on Easter in my family are church and Easter dinner. I took caramels to my pastor, and I took a fondant egg to give as a random gift. The guy who directs traffic in the parking lot got it. He goes to the same meeting I do at church on Thursday nights. We didn't stay and socialize after ( Read more... )
