Five Great Things about Last Week
- Having Indian with the UTD crew/ having Thai with Joan, Michael
and Leo. It's nice to get out and have a nice dinner with people and
Tally be along happy as pie with netflix on a phone. I've been very into
hanging out this last few months, so I think it makes for a great
thing. - Starting Joan's newest baby's blanket. I've been enjoying knitting something different, and the cotton yarn I got is soooo soft.
- Having Monday off helped my work batteries recharge.
- Our VP came into town. I like weeks where he works in Dallas, makes the office seem like a cohesive unit.
- I ate macarons from Sucre. Umph.
Old Memory
Hmm. What I am thinking of right now, is Christmas in Indiana. We only did it once as kids, in all the years of Christmas'
in our house. It took forever to drive there, or at least that is how it felt. James and I rode in the backseat, and tussled the entire trip.
Little did we know, Mom had filled one seat of the backseat with luggage and what not, and had included a bundt cake. We smooshed it bad.
We all slept in the attic, my cousins Victoria, Stephanie, and I, I think. There was a large main room area with a few closets, and beds to sleep on. There were two bedrooms attached to the attic main area, one being the room my dad said my Aunt Margaret lived in when she was a girl and another. My parents took one, and my uncle Daniel and Aunt Maria took the other bedroom. My Uncle Steve and Aunt Becky just lived next door so no need for extra beds for them.
One of the nights and I don't know why, we stayed in a neighbor's house. I remember begging my dad for one of his weird stories. You think he'd make up stories like fairy tales or something, but no, he'd make stories up sentence by sentence. They never made any sense, and they always made me laugh.
My aunt Maria gave me a large doll for Christmas that I still remember, just because it spawned a fight once with my friend Misty.
