The holidays are great but sometimes they can be too much. I love my family, I really do. It's just sometimes I wish that there wasn't so many of them. I feel like I'm getting pulled around from one person to the next during the holidays. It leaves me exhausted. It would be nice to have just a small Thanksgiving dinner for once. However I don't think that will happen until I finally settle down, which will be a while from now. One good thing is that I finally got one of my aunts to shut up for once and not interupt me. Basically I started talking about the people at the IV. I happen to use the phrase "the guy that I live with" which to my aunt meant something entirely different then what I truly meant. I do live with a guy but also a girl and we all have seperate bedrooms. Well, you can guess the way she took it. It was perfect, because she didn't know what to say. The reason why I am telling everyone this, is that her daughter seems to be the golden girl. Even though she had a kid her Senior year of high school. To a guy that she is no longer with. She just can't do no wrong to her mother plus my grandparents. Where as I am completely ignored by my grandparents. They didn't even come up to my college graduation. Go figure, it takes me making a comment like that to grab attention. However I did end up corectly myself later on, so they didn't think that I was being completely bad.
To all of the people who have not read my notes on facebook, there is more about my holiday there. As for making a thank you list. I am not really sure about what I am thankful for.
Did anyone go out shopping on Black Friday? Man, its a jungle out there. I found out that women go crazy on that day. My mom and I decided that we would try to venture out for the early morning specials, only to find ourselves at the end of the line at 4:45 am, waiting to get in to Shopko. What time do these people wake up? Yeah, there are some nice sales out there but nothing can be worth waiting in the cold for hours on end. Well, I fought through the crowds to buy my father's christmas gift. I really hope he likes them. However the true reason why my mom wanted to go shopping so early in the morning is that she wanted to get my gift. Who knew! I am still wondering what she got me. All I know is that it came from the electronic section of the store. (That makes for one "HELL YEAH") Now it's just waiting those 28 days to find out what it is. At least I am not at home knowing that the present is somewhere around there. Oh, does anyone know what you would get a one year old for christmas and her birthday. I am clueless on what to get my little niece.
