Recap
So I haven't been writing but it's not because I don't care, it's because I've been busy or not at home.
Christmas was actually pretty good. Normally I dread getting together with my family. Not my aunt, uncle, cousins, or parents, but mostly my grandmother. It's a terrible thing to say, but I don't like getting together with my grandmother, or hanging out with her.
ANYway, it was a good day. I got up at 8:30 because my mom woke me up saying Amber was tearing apart her present, so I was able to catch the end of that. Then we all opened our presents. For my dad I got him "Taladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby", "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and a Cortland long-sleeved shirt. For my mom I got her an ASL board game which is a ton of fun! But I didn't get her anything else because I didn't know what she wanted, she never gives us many ideas.
-mittens and hat
-Best Buy gift card
-bead loom (which I didn't think I'd like, but it's a ton of fun, I have to get more beads, though)
-books on how to draw anime characters
-rings, necklace, bracelets
-nail polish (clear and black)
-chocolate
-huge pirate handkerchief (which works pretty well as a blindfold, I found out today)
-how-to juggling kit
-horse calender
-nail art tattoos (they're actually really neat!)
-emory boards (nail files)
-3 patches (1 horse, 1 nautical star, 1 medusa)
I can't really think of anything else.
Overall it was a good day. After we opened presents, dad went and got Grandma. We opened her presents, then ate dinner. After dinner we all took naps while watching Ice Age. (I fell asleep on the floor, I was very tired.) Then we had brownies and sent Grandma home.
The day after Christmas was spent playing the ASL game with my mom and finishing a bead loom thing. (I should do that again, it was fun. But I need to get more beads...) Wednesday I went to the barns with Aunt Cindy to show her the horses. Only about half of them were in, and the ponies. Major is, by far, the friendliest horse in the entire barns, and he's the newest! He's so sweet and so cute with his mane shaved, and he's the prettiest.
On the way back I gave Chad a call and he headed out. We got back and Aunt Cindy and mom went to lunch to talk about stuff. Chad got here, and we hooked up the PS2. We played Guitar Hero for most of the night, which was awesome! I love it, I am addicted. We went to sleep. Thursday we got up and went to the mall to buy Guitar Hero 2. I bought it, but Chad has to pay me back for the game, the controller is MINE! I also bought "Lady In The Water." I thought it was an excellent movie!
The rest of Thursday was spent playing the game. We got up Friday, JennyFur and Chris came over, and we chilled in the basement playing pool and Guitar Hero. Then we went to Aunt Cindy's. The hot tub was awesome; getting in and out of it wasn't. Cold as FUCK. But we spent a few hours in it and it was a good time. Good to have Chad there to cuddle with.
After the hot tub, Chad and I went back to my house while JennyFur and Chris went to the mall to get a movie and dinner. They came back and we watched "The Descent" which JennyFur and I had seen in Maine while visiting Chris. I definitely liked the alternative ending, it was good stuff, made much more sense than the original.
They left, and Chad and I went to sleep. Saturday we got up and my parents and us met up with JennyFur and Chris in the Tops parking lot. We drove to Binghamton, and only got lost once, which was good! We ate at Tully's, then went to Skate Estate. It was so much fun! Chris and JennyFur didn't stay long because of Chris' knees, but I hope they had fun! We had fun, and we really enjoyed it. A lot of little kids and a lot of fast skaters. I didn't fall at all, mom fell once (on her last lap around!) and Chad fell a couple times. Then we came home.
Sunday I got up at 8 and was at the barns by 9. I showed Chad around because he had never been there. Then Keira and I had a heck of a time turning everyone out. We had to wake up Kate because we had no idea where everyone was supposed to go. Ugh. We had to spread hay, then turn them out. Danny was such a wild boy! He reared up on his hind legs, so I let go of his lead because I didn't want to get stepped on again. Insanity! The horses were a little crazy because they hadn't been out in a couple days due to rain.
The ponies were a pain in the ass. First we couldn't tell Rigby and and Lillian apart, then whoever I had kept trying to run me into stuff: the back of the Blazer, a tree, it was really insane. Then turning out Ringo was also crazy. He just wanted grass! Keira got the youngest pony but the easiest one to handle - figures.
We got done around 2, then I drove to LaFayette to go to Chad's. We left shortly after that. We got to Rochester and went to Brian's. Everyone was there but the other brothers. Jacob was really excited to sniff me, but it was kind of weird. The baby is getting big! We watched TV, played Guitar Hero, played the board game Life, then Todd and Eric and Chad and I left.
We went back to the boy's apartment, and immediately took a shot of rum, then followed it with 2 or 3 martinis each. Very nice and sweet tasting. I got buzzed but that's because I didn't have much to eat that night. We watched "Soapdish", pausing it to watch the ball drop - I kissed Chad, then finished the movie. Eric went to bed, and the three of us watched "Flavor of Love", which was awesome!
After that Chad and I went to bed. We were extremely tired. I wish we could have gone out, but whatever. Maybe next year. The next morning we got up, got ready, ate, Chad played some baseball ont he Wii with Todd. Then Eric and Chad and I went to get his exercise machine. We got back, dropped it off, then headed over to Brian's to get Chad's guitar controller. We had a nice talk with Christine about stuff, then headed home.
We got back to his house, and I left almost immediately. I was tired and wanted to get home. I got home, was going to watched a movie but got caught up talking with Chad instead. We talked for about 4 hours, it was insane. But at least I know how long the battery on my phone can last, haha. And a lot of stuff with us got cleared up. Which will show up in a post soon, I think, haha.
But right now I am exhausted. I am working Thursday and Friday at the barns. I might get more days if the girl who is working there now gets knee surgery. I don't want her to, but I hope she does because money is really nice!
