Jan 07, 2008 06:30

Sorry i'm late posting but the hours during the last two weeks at the theater have been brutal!Christmas eve stared out as a challenge cause i'm such a procrastinator.i meant to finish decorating at least a day before my party.My outside looked like a christmas movie set,the trees were lit in really cool patterns of clear lights and the back yard trees in colors and the rails that go round the deckwere lit in clear lights surrounding my christmas tree with all the multi colored lights i could find and a deer calmly watching the tree,her head moving and back lit in a soft red.The inside decorations were another story,there were none,so i worked the hardest seven hours of my life to make them happen and to look as good as the outside.I did it and you'll see some pics of my fireplace area and someone pretty special making them even nicer to look at!My partys' a tradtion and it's almost expected to be better ever year,can you say pressure,bah humbug!I was in the shower as my first guests arrived,but some of my theater friends who arrived early took on the hosting duties till i could get down stairs.It was my first Christmas living fulltime as keri and it felt so surreal coming down the stairs in my red v neck sweater wearing pearls given to me by Barb and a pair of cool size 6 jeans a bit tight,,but hey i think i looked pretty good and a pair of three inch heels i'm not really used to walking in.Most people had met Keri some hadn't but everyone had an awesome time.When it was all over i just sat in a chair by the fire on the deck and finished an apple martini someone made for me and i stared into the night,so peaceful,so quite and just smiled thinking of what the new year will bring? I did say earlier that this has been my best New years eve,new years day ever and the reason was a visit by bchgrl, Erica
bchgrl315.We'd been talking before the holidays and she mentioned her aunt in north Carolina,she lives three hours north of my home in Asheboro.Erica was on christmas break from Florida State and was planning on visting her so i said you better stop by here and stay a few days on your way to your aunts,i didn't really say it that way,loli did ask her and she said yes. She drove eight hours in the pouring rain and arrived at the mall where the movie theater i project at is located.She called when she got to the parking area near our theater entrance and i opened the back doors as she parked her car.It was funny cause as she came into view,so much was going thru my head.we'd seen pics but i was hoping i'd look ok to her i knew she'd look great.I was thinking how will all this unfold,i haven't had anyone at my house forever.Well i worried for nothing,she's an awesome girlas nice as she is pretty.We went shopping after i got out at 12:30 am,cuase i wanted to get food that she liked and she promised to make us a cheesy egg and bacon breakfast,which by the way was soooo gooood!We headed to my house and microwaved some pizza and drank some coronas'and talked about prety much everything.I had to work from 11:30 am till three the next day,new years eve and that gave Erica a chance to get some well deserved sleep after her 8hr drive from hell.I got home and she was watching a Florida state bowl game,hard to believe she played football,you'll see.after the game she talk me to do my make up so much better and how to really use a flat iron,i gotta say i looked so good when she finished.We went out to dinner and then to walmart to buy some makeup at a reasonable price,she says expensive does not always mean good.It was my first time being keri at my local walmart and it was just so normal.We got home talked somemore played with my dog jamiee and had some champagne while watching the ball drop on Carson dailys new years eve show,we finished the bottle and talked till 8:00,yes i said 8:00 so the breakfast i'd been wating for happened about 3Pm new years day but it was so worth it!We went to a very cool restaurant that night called PF Chang's,great food awesome comapany.When we got home it was time for some pics,so many,erica is such the model,she doesn't take a bad pic,i so wish i could say that and you'll see what i mean,i promise ;)She was suppose to leave in the morning but snow and ice 3hrs north kept her here another night,the new year was alraedy being good to me.We set our alarms,i headed up stairs to bed while she settled under the covers on the couch in the living room.I didn't want her to leave it was special having someone to share my house with and she's an awesome girl,it was sad to see her leave,i had an Awesome time and i think she did to.It truely was the best New Years ever and i hope we can do it again!I know she needed to get home to Florida so she can thaw out,i wish i could be there myself. Oh almost four weeks fulltime and it just gets better,i know there will be challenges along the way but i'm gonna handle them the best i can.now for those that have read my mini series,here are the pics i promised. HAppy New Year,i wish ya all the best! just so you know i tried to download more pics but as you can't see they refused to appear.
