Christmas....
Ok Christmas is always a drama, but this year we survived relatively unscathed.
Christmas eve we got in the beast and drove out to my parent's place, or I should say I drove as P is still on his L's. We got here in good time and with much relief, as we decided to bring the cat with us and you KNOW he cried for the whole 2 hour trip. However after a long drive we were given the "eat something" treatment, fed too much tea and cake and got to rest while our cat explored my parent's house. Now it should be said that our cat spent the first part of his life in a cattery, so that is a 2m x 2m x 2.5m cage, then, at the ripe old age of 12 weeks came to us, in our large Queenslander 3 br house right? and is NEVER allowed out as we live in the city near busy roads. Well my parent's have a 4 br+study two story house, this thing is more than twice the size of our Brisbane house, and the cat was perplexed with so much space. He was even more perplexed by there being an upstairs, and cannot quite fathom the sounds from above and took a while to work out how the stairs work. Of course he now jumps out between the stair risers and attacks our ankles. I slept poorly the first night here as P snored up a storm, which made me late for my yearly daddy torture.
Ok I love traditions, and one of my traditions since I could work is to gallop in and literally jump on my father at 5am on Christmas morning. Yes I am 27, yes I STILL do this. Unfortunately due to a lack of sleep (only about 3 hours) I was 44 minutes late exactly, for which my father was grateful. Oh well, down to the presents! I got my beautiful CP Moon doll, Able Coma, which was a thrill, a second head, which will be Mikey, once Able's body arrives, and some gift heads from Luts...yes...I am greedy, I got three. My parents gave P and I a set of good cordless phones, which we needed and P also gave me some Dior loose powder which I really needed.
My big thrill was when P opened his gift from me, a CP VDES, named Josephine. The thing is the dolls I opened were blank, bald, and naked, the one he opened was perfectly painted all in Pink (took me a full day to do) with Pink hair, and wearing pink lacy nickers and a pink leopardprint dress, and pink heels with bows. She was perfect and he looked thrilled. I had worked very hard to be sure she would be perfect when he opened her, and she was and that really made my day. (for a vampire she is VERY PINK).
Of course this was followed by too much breakfast, which ran into too much lunch, my grandmother arrived and all. Today, boxing day, my brother and his partner will arrive, and at some point we will go back to Brisbane, but now I am getting off and heading into town, the sales are on and the fabric store is having 20% off everything, including the things already on sale, so away I go, to hoard MORE fabric XD
