3999th entry!
Mandy was feeling down, so we went shopping! Well, she went shopping and I drove. It wasn't so much *shopping* shopping as picking up a few odds and ends that might come in handy in Central America when she heads there at the end of the month. There was No Boyfriend Talk Allowed for an hour and I made her tell me about her favorite holiday traditions as a child in hopes of further cheering.
After we hit Target, though, the alloted hour was up and talk of The Boyfriend came back and she made herself all sad again, so she was still kinda blue. Which is why I then I took her to the park so we could make a giant snow man! Or as giant as we could considering how hard it is to lift giant snowballs without breaking and/or dropping them. The end result stood at about 5' 5", and it had pine cone eyes and a stick for a nose and a mouth cause, you know, we didn't have carrots or coal or anything and had to make do with what we found underneath the pine trees, and we gave it *wings* (made from sticks, so again, I doubt it's going to be flying anywhere) and snowy arms, which Mandy was in charge of, and let me tell you, Mr. Snowman was *built*. He totally had some nice bulging biceps at one point (not really intentionally, that was just the way it turned out). Anyway, it was fun and it cheered Mandy up (I hope, at least) and it gave us some good exercise we got all snowy and wet. Alas, we did not have a camera, so we shall have to cherish the night in our memories - or go back tomorrow/later today and get a picture of Mr. Snowman if he is still there.
Then we came back to the house and drank hot tea and apple cider and watched the old 1938 black and white version of A Christmas Carol and almost fell asleep in front of the TV cause we were all tired and stuff cause by the time we started the movie it was 11:30 and we didn't finish making the snow man until almost 11 and yeah, that was our day. Fun and Childishness.
On a not so childish note, I did laundry. Yay having clean clothes to wear.
Also, this is my 3,999th journal post. I was going to wait to mention it until 4,000, but I figure Childishness and Giant Snow Men is a way better Momentum Post than, I don't know, rambling about cake or school or whatever it is I am in the mood to ramble about.
So, here's to five years, eight months, and *almost* 4000 posts worth of Rambley Maren Goodness!
Gonna go sleep now.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
