I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I'm so glad that it's over with. I'm ready to start a brand new year and get the gook of last year behind me. There was so much stuff that happened, good and bad, last year. I've made some really good friends this year....my bestest Amanda and my neighbor Jackie......and lost a couple too..... I've traveled a couple of places I've never been and even a couple I've not visited in awhile. My health has taken a turn for the worse, but not as bad as it could have been. My family life definately has taken a nose dive in the past couple of weeks, but that's to be expected also. That's what makes life interesting.
I've also picked up a couple of new hobbies. I'm currently making a baby quilt. Should turn out ok. Several of my friends became pregnant this past year: My cousins April and Lisa, Kacy, Krisin, Amy, and Heather (no, not me).
Christmas this year was a real eye opener for me. I've always loved this time of year, the feeling, the cold air, and the overall happiness of it. This year I was barely able to drag myself through all the parties and get togethers. I was ready for it to be over with. I'm still kinda looking forward to New Years, although not as much as I should. Jeff will probably come over but it doesn't make a difference if he does or not. It might as well be just another day on the calendar.
My father is still not speaking to me. He's mad because I got rid of his precious car, the only thing he had left to hold over my head. Now he has nothing and he's not dealing with it too well.
Jerome was in here a few minutes ago teasing by asking if Jeff had bought me that ring yet. What he doesn't understand is how much it hurts for him to tease me about it. No one understands the interior designing of us, they only see the exterior painting. And it's hard sometimes to deal with......
On a brighter note, I bought my new car last week. So far, I'm loving it. It takes some time to get used to something new though. I just wish there hadn't been so many consequences involved with buying it.
I've been trying to call Amanda for almost a week. Everytime I call, it tells me her number is disconnected. I almost called her mom's house, but thought against it. My neighbor is on her way home from Flordia right now. She called me earlier. I'm excited to have her back next door, even if it's only for a couple more months before she moves. She's so much fun.... "The best neighbor ever!"
Well, gotta run, almost time to go home. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and Happy New Year!
