Merry Christmas to All and Spanglish was Great!!!!!
Hey all, well I'm really sorry I never update this thing. It just takes me forever to read all of your LJs and then I have no time to write my own. So I guess an update is really needed and here it is:
I can't remember the last time I posted so I'll just start from the beginning of Christmas break. The first Saturday of the break I had movie night with Eric where we watched Mean Girls. I swear that he picked it and I had no say in the matter. That went well except for the part when Eric went into my room and exclaimed at how messy it was. I actually cleaned it that day but it was still kinda messy but other then that no complaints.
Sunday I had to work and then my mom's cantata was presented at our church. All I did was socialize at the back and I got in a lot of trouble because my dad can multitask; he can sing and see me socializing at the same time.
Monday was pretty boring, I had to work. After work, the six of us from Valumart who were in the secret santa met at Timmy's for coffee and exchange of gifts. That was prolly one of the best nights of Christmas vacation so far. Eric bought Lauren an imitation ring from the Lord of the Rings and she looked at it and had no idea what it was. Then to reassure him, she told him she loved it but we all knew that she didn't. The next best part was when Eric and Cole opened their gifts and realized that they got the exact same thing!!! We laughed a lot that night. I loved my gift, I got Care Bear ornaments for my Christmas tree and a necklace.
Tuesday and Wednesday were boring because I had to work.
Thursday, Christine came over and we watched Honey which we both loved. Christine also gave me my Christmas gift and it was this awesome vase thingy, it's green and I'm using it for my next fish. Then I had to go to work which sucked because I was finished everything but cleaning the sinks and then when I went to empty them, the drain in the floor started overflowing with dirty water and gunk. So I ended up staying an hour later then I should have cleaning it up and I cried the whole way home because I was that upset. I obviously got over it.
Friday, YAY it was Christmas Eve and I had to work :( Work wasn't too bad and I finished on time but then I had to go to the candlelight service at church and that was a waste of 2 hours:(
Saturday, CHRISTMAS!!!!!! My dad woke me up at the wee hour of 7:30 am and I was ready to kill him. We opened our presents and everyone loved all of the gifts except me. My mom bought me the two ugliest sweaters I've ever seen in my life and I felt bad but she didn't seem too upset that I didnt like them. Want to guess at what came next? Well it was church again. When that ended my dad drove around to find a Timmy's that was open and he found it. Then we rushed home to clean up the house and make Christmas dinner. My grandparents came over and we opened gifts. I got two more of the books that I don't read but this time I actually recieved an interesting one. It's a biography of Bob Dylan. I'm excited for this read!!!! Overall, everyone loved their gifts!!! Then came the disaster I was waiting for, dinner. It started off fine until my grandmother started describing, in detail, how sick she was the night before and she didn't know why. Then my grandfather started complaining because I didn't take any turkey and when I tried to explain to him that I don't like turky he went into this speech about how we are never having Christmas dinner at my house when I am married because I won't serve turkey because I don't like it. I told him that I was serve turkey because everyone else liked it and then he told me how I as going against my morals and how if I ever went to his house and asked for a BLT i wouldn't get it because he doesn't like tomatoes and doesn't buy them. When I told him that I don't like them either so I wouldn't ask for one he got mad and wouldn't talk to me. Then my grandmother got up, ran to the bathroom and started spewing while my mom ignored her because she was on the phone with her sister from Newfoundland. So my grandmother comes back to the table and my dad looks at her and says, "There is no glass in your glasses." My grandmother tells him there is just as my grandfather sticks his finger through the lens that isn't there and pokes her in the eye. They finally went home and I passed out on the couch. And to think that was only 6 people from my family there, imagine the chaos if we were all eating dinner together.
Sunday, I had to work and I had the rudest customers ever and wanted to smack them all. Rude ppl should not shop on boxing day. It put a real downer on my day.
Monday, I went shopping in the States and bought stuff. When we got home my grandmother called to tell us she was sick again the night before and then I went to work.
Today, I went to see Spanglish which was so good!!! I love Adam Sandler. He is such a good actor. My dad called my grandmother who told us that my Aunt Val was over and put her on the phone where my aunt told my dad that my grandfather was mad at my grandmother because she was sick and that she is getting sick from her chemo which has been done for like a month. And now I am just typing this up to really just rant about my insane family and how much they disturb me at times.
On a better note, I am excited for tomorrow because Eric and I are having pool/movie night. I can't play pool and will lose terribly but we are watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so I'm excited. It should all go well, hopefully.
So I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation as I intend to.
