I'm just about ready to go out to the shed and get the christmas tree. Whee! I love Christmastime. Which is why I've been seriously considering maybe a winter wedding instead of a fall wedding. That would be so romantic. Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm always changing my mind. I'll probably be like 50 years old and still ranting on his LJ about the wedding that I'm gonna have. Blah.
So, my Thanksgiving was okay. We went to Mamaw's and ended up staying an hour longer than planned. I just feel weird anymore whenever I go over there. Mamaw treats me differently and I dunno why. *shrug* I mean, Papaw is the same, but Mamaw seems...distant. I hope she's not starting to get all psycho-hosebeast on me because Jeremy and I have been together so long and I'm "taking away" her only grandson. That would suck. *sigh* Jeremy's mom was being super-cool though. I feel bad for Kaila. Jessica still isn't talking to her that much and she couldn't bring her boyfriend to Thanksgiving because Jeremy's uncle doesn't like him. Drama, drama, drama.
We left around 3:30 and headed to my dad's. That was awkward too. I dunno. I guess because the house that I had spent the last 6 years growing up in has become alien to me. Even my room doesn't feel like my room, even though my stuff is still in there. I got to meet Tracey's new husband Sean. He's a lot older than I imagined him. Of course, Tracey and Sean were all tan because they live in California. I also met some of my Grandma Cookie's relatives. They didn't stay for very long though.
I was so frickin shocked when I walked into Dan's room. He had some strange girl laying in his bed. Well, the strange girl is his new girlfriend, Anna and she seems okay. Amber and Andy showed up around 6ish and we all sat around and talked for awhile. I took Amber for a ride in the Bug and all four of us ended up going to their apartment and picking up Scrabble.
We spent the rest of the night at the kitchen table, all of us in drunken stupor's, trying to play Scrabble. It actually wasn't all that bad. Jeremy and I went home around 10. Ta-da.
I don't think you should mix Kahlua mudslides with wine. My stomach was quite upset this morning. I haven't drank in forever.
Dawn really liked my clogs I was wearing last night, so I think I'm going to do a little switcheroo with Christmas gifts. I'm going to give the basket of Cucmber Melon Bath & Body Works stuff to Amber, Amber's big fat sweatshirt to Andy (because she isn't wearing baggy clothes all that often anymore), and I'm going to buy Dawn a pair of clogs like mine from American Eagle. Now, all that's left is Dad, Dan, Grandma, and Jeremy. Oh! I know what I'm going to get Jeremy and I hope I'll have enough money for it. I'm definately going to get him an Xbox. I might have to like save up some money from this paycheck and next paycheck, but that's what I've decided to get him. I'm going to ask Dave today if he'll hide it at his house and I'm going to tell his Dad, so if he wants to buy games or whatnot, he can do so. Jeremy already knows that's what I'm thinking about getting him, but I'm going to tell him that after doing my bills, I can't afford it and completely throw him off. Hee hee.
I asked Dan what he wanted yesterday and he gave me the typical guy answer, "I don't care. I'm not hard to please." Yeah right.
Dad's birthday is on Wednesday. He said he wants a Bowflex. Yeah, right. I probably won't be able to get him anything, probably just a card. *sigh* I hate being poor.
I still have to buy at least one of my Secret Santa gifts and some wrapping paper and stuffs today. Wee! I'm going to start wrapping my gifts, so that our tree will look purty. :c)
Well, I'm going to go root through the shed now. Buh-bye!
