Yule-tastic
Well Christmas/Yule was full of ups and downs. I had a surprisingly good time at Eric's parents house. The day before we walked into the house arms full of gifts and where surprised to see his uncle visiting there. I hadn't seen Eric's uncle Pete in a while and it was nice to see that he was well. We did a small exchange of gifts that night and his uncle whom works as a chef got us some really awesome cooking supplies for our new house. Also that night Heather, his lil sister, pulled me aside to enlist my help in a Christmas surprise for Eric. She was worried that if he got up in the middle of the night and snooped (which he is known to do because he acts like a child on Christmas morning hehe) that I was to direct him back to bed before he could uncover a special Christmas prank she was pulling on him.
Well the next morning just as Heather called it, Eric did the tip toe down the stairs. Unfortunately she was already awake so when he asked "what is on my car?" she and I looked out the window with him and all got a good laugh. For all of you whom don't know, every year since 04 Eric and she have been having a "sponge bob" off. They find the most ridicules sponge bob memorabilia for each other be it shirts, pinatas, lamps and many many other goofy things. Well this year Heather took the cake. Some how she managed to get a parade balloon the size of a huge truck and anchored it to Eric's car in the middle of the night along with 6 other teenagers. Hehe. Needless to say Eric and I have a Parade float hovering off of our front yard balcony right now which is more than mildly humorous.
Not long after "Mr. Bob" made himself known did the rest of the family get up and we began to rip apart brightly colored wrapping paper descending like vultures on each box. The Highlights of the treasure trove under the tree was Heather's I-Pod Touch, Josh's Chain Saw, John's (Eric's dad)Mountain bike, Mary's (Eric's mom)Vacuum cleaner, Eric's Microwave and my Graphics Card, computer chair and DDR SuperNova. (They spoiled me a bit)
Everything was going great, there was no fighting everyone was playing with their new toys and pretty happy until we all sat down for breakfast... that is when the down happened heh. My sock got stuck under the chair leg and as I was sitting down, before I could catch my balance, there was a sickening crunch... yes people I broke my big toe. How you might ask do I know its broken... well aside from feeling it crunch and seeing the nail bleed right away, its swollen three times its original size, as purple as it can get and oh the biggest clue of all... its bent in a really funny angle which Eric's dad had to reset for me. Heh bright side I managed not to interrupt prayers heh. They where saying grace and doing the whole holding hands thing and I bit down on my lips and practically crunched Eric's hand but managed to hold in the whimper and sob until "Amen." LOL
((will write more later trust me there is much more I just got tired of typing lol))
