You know your becoming an adult when someone giving you a new washing machine is the best present ever. Which would be me this evening. I was just looking to buy a used washing machine, my step-father thought I should get a new one. He evidently got another big bonus at work and bought me one. Doesn't want any money for it, just said Merry ( Read more... )

I have purchased a live tree for christmas this year. It is very tiny and cute and I spent over an hour making a wee tiny paper chair garland for it. At some point I may even post a photo of it.

I'd forgotten how much I don't like doing stuff with my step-mother's family. I stick out like a sore thumb amongst all the blond hair blue eye or at least very sedate Mainer looking people. One of my step-cousins, long blond hair, blue eyes, wants to be a model ( Read more... )

I was think about things today, like why I'm so eh about christmas. I'm pretty sure it's because from about 10 on I had 4 or 5 separate christmases every year. It doesn't take long to get old. Plus my mom didn't have a lot of money for presents. So we only set up a big tree every other year and then when we got older not at all, we'd just put up ( Read more... )

I hope now that Christmas is really over. I got one last present this evening. Evidently when Dad and my step-mother were taking down there tree they found a present for me that had been tucked away so good no one remembered it. Also they seemed to think I counted how many presents me and my brothers got, thus knowing I got one less. Frankly I don' ( Read more... )

Survived work. Barely. My break was like an hour and a half in so the rest of the shift dragged like whoa. After work I shopped, and now other than for H. all my christmas shopping is done. And I got more cloths for work, 2 navy blue shirts and one pair of khaki pants. Probably really need to track down at least one more shirt as I only have 3 navy ( Read more... )

Now that all my cousins are growing up christmas isn't so bad with Mom's side of the family. I know own Serenity, woot. And my uncle gave me a hundred bucks, and its all going to my poor little car ( Read more... )

The degus evidently recognize my foot steps. I didn't know this. I guess they don't start freaking out in the morning until they hear me coming downstairs because they know I'm the one who feeds them. Smart little buggers. Also Hephaestion has stopped going up to the top platform to be fed, because I put in another food dish for her now and she's ( Read more... )

And then the christmas shopping was done. Well I still need to get Dad something. Wal-Mart is very much with the busy even on a Thursday afternoon. Evil place, but I did get a new turtle neck and a skirt for a combine total of 6$. The shirk is one size to big so if I ever manage to lose weight it'll fall off, but for right now it means it sit lower ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. Celibrated the family christmass thing a day early cause the weather is suposed to be bad tomorrow. I got the newest Anita Blake book, and have nearly finished it, which is rather impresive seeings how its over four hundred pages long. I also got nearly two hundred dollars, being older then the rest of the neices and nefews ( Read more... )
