wow no posts?
as in, I checked my "friends" pages and it didn't go beyond the first page. When I hit "next page" there was nothing there.
ANYways. not a whole lot to talk about; today's mom's birthday. dad and I got her a cake (but I forgot to ask what it was inside and it turned out to be marble; mom likes white cake.) with pink swirled frosting and sparkles. Yes I liked it solely based on looks.
My niece is pregnant!!!!! but I'm the only one in our immediate family (other than her mom and her mom's boyfriend) that knows, because last time she was pregnant, my mom said some not so nice things about it, and even when Niece miscarried, mom still had Words about it. So I'm thrilled for her, but it's also given us a chance to get back in to contact with each other. We were thisclose as kids, being 2-3 years apart but grew apart as we grew up (probaly due to our moms' differing parenting styles). Last Wednesday, she sent a recording of her last sonogram!
Thanksgiving went well til that night. Mom didn't do traditional turkey either, Lynn82, she crockpotted a lamb. good lord it smelled so good. Then the day after, our cousin that used to live across the freeway from us (but moved earlier this year) came to visit. She and her granddaughter were planning to Black Friday shop at the local outlet mall, and stopped here along the way. And that night, my cousin and her boyfriend and their new baby came! we've been Facebook VideoChat-ing, and she was hoping to make it here to let us meet the baby in person. He is sooooo cute. He's like one of those Baby Alive dolls.
I've officially started Christmas shopping. my dad gave me some money, and it looks like I won't use it all up cause I'm averaging about $15-$20 per person (one big gift and then stocking stuffers), so I'm hoping to put at least half of that in my bank account! Mom caved and bought a fake tree this year cause she's sick of the needles from the real trees we've been getting.
All I want for christmas this year is a can of those Danish butter cookies. At the warehouse stores, they have them with at least 3 or 4 layers.
