how i made my millions part 385: christmas of doom!
christmas...
1. i was up at 7:30 this morning... (bummer). i went and cared for gretel (dog for which i doggy-sit), then alternated between cooking and washing dishes until noon. we packed up the insane amount of food and went to my couisin's house for the foody party thingy. 98.7% of the food had nuts of tree origin in or on it. i am allergic to nuts of tree origin and though i tried to castrate my food as best as possible, i'm still having a nasty allergy attack as we speak.
2. while i was there i left my phone in my mom's car and thus missed several calls... lo and behold, shelby wants to know if i want to go to the nin concert... and as i've mentioned here i'm already going... so his feelings are damaged and i feel like crap about it (i was invited to go by someone else and thus did not assume i should take it upon myself to invite any guests of my own, otherwise i would have asked shelby and a few others as well!) so i went and spent some time with shelby and while there half watched kill bill and pulp fiction on teevee. anyhoo, the nin show for which i've already been set up with a ticket is in lexington, and the next closest show is cincinatti... if shelby still wants to go i'm perfectly willing to drive up there. nin two nights in a row? hells yes.
3. christmas was pretty non-exciting this year. here is what i got:
my parents and couisin went halfers on a digital camera (with bebe printer) but i had to buy my own memory card, etc... my mom got me a makeup kit thing and a pendant that jingles, bethany got me the victoria regina tarot, amanda got me a butt load of yarn (boucle yarns in a red multi colour, black, and green) and size 15 knitting needles, and lisa from work brought me fudge and germ killing products (i'm ocd germ-phobe so that was thrilling!). and my granny gave me $20 but that was back at thanksgiving and went directly into the gas tank.
i got nary a card or anything from any portion of my extended family. bah. humbug. come on people... give bec some cash! *needs handouts... lives in cardboard box*
4. had to pour another $120+ into edgar (my car), tie rod issues. he is feeling much better but my $$$ situation is not.
5. i rather enjoyed the weather today... due to the fact that i was outside barefoot on christmas for an extended period of time without any pesky side effects... like frostbite.
