my xmas was wonderful.
i didnt go to sleep at all xmas eve, instead i stayed up designing and painting w/more detail than i had intisipated everyones ornaments. my mom and i put all our xmas money into geting my best friend a gigantic care package for her over in iraq. so for my mom and the foldhazi's i made them each an ornament with their names on them. my mom said she is going to get a bunch now and all year i can make everyone in the family one. she just loved them and said i should sell them, so im thinking about it. they actually did turn out really good. i love them all, especially andrews.
andrew and i went to my house at 7am so i could finish gettin ready and then we went to his parents at 9am. my dad called and told me my uncle eddy had a heart attack so i was really sad and torn up all day but tried my best to keep a poker face about what i was going through. i missed shasta terribly but again, tried to just lean on andrew for happiness and comfort. we opened presents with the foldhazi's and then at 1130 went home and opened presesnts with my mom. i got some really great things this year!! andy got my pearls in necklace and bracelet forms
ive always wanted pearls. but refuse to buy them myself. i always wanted andy to give them to me because to me they represent perfection, chivalry, beauty, old fashioned morals and values, a time of innocence, everything lovely and ultimate romance. he listens. a lot more than i think. he makes mental notes of things i mention and makes it happen. i get a ballerina ornament every year so that i can have my dancing tree when i have xmas at my own house. he couldnt find one so we picked out a tinkerbell one who is sitting on a block letter with the letter 'A' for Andrew :) and he got me a tinkerbell music box cause i collect them. she is in a lantern and its got glitter all swirled beautifully on the bottom and u press the button and it makes her sound and a light shines down on her and her wings glitter in it and she twirls all pretty. i looove it.
after my last present i bent down to get the wrapping paper on the floor and i threw my back out. what pain. i dropped to the floor and screamed. my mom and drew both rushed over and picked me up. we had to go back to the foldhazis at 2 for steak and THREE[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] kinds of POE-TAY-TOES!!!!!!!!! i spent my time laying on the couch with drew under my legs. i finally fell asleep. got up when dinner was ready and ate with everyone. my mom was there with the foldhazis. it was really really nice. i just wish i wasnt hurting so much. drew [andrew] cut my steak for me and handed me my drink which he constantly fills with ice and cherry ooke his mom bought just for me. he really likes fixing my drinks and cutting my steaks. he is a very good provider.
i didnt eat much of anything and went to go lay down on the couch again. fell asleep some more with my legs stretched across andy. went home at 6ish and i was supposed to watch the making of DISNEYWORLD on the history channel but i slept through it. lucy [andrews mom] said she was going to record it and if i missed it then i could come over and watch it with her, so i will now :) as soon as i got in my bed i fell asleep until 5am.
i had to go pee so i woke up andrew and we talked for a little bit and he helped me get up and go to the bathroom. usually i get embarassed after i have back surgeries and have to have some one help me pee and wipe but with him i was completly comfortable. he is doing a good job with his arm and hand placements to gently lay my body down or scoot me over or pick me up. i dont have to give him a lot of instructions on what is going to be best, hes really good and just doing it. it makes me happy cause it causes me less pain. ;) i couldnt stand up straight so i was really hunched over and stuff. of all days, i mean seriously. :P wheres my cell phone?
anyways i watched my dvds of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND that andrew got me [cause its our show]. and fell back asleep just a little before 8am. ive been in and out of sleep since noon. my back is hurting but im on a lot of meds.
it scares me that at 21 i can pull my back out just by bending over for a piece of wrapping paper.
