brent and i spent the weekend in la pryor with my granny and papa.
brent made the mistake of telling my granny he likes birds. he knows now to tell her only that he likes money.
we went to mexico. brent and i went twice - in the same afternoon. stupid man making us walk all the way back to mexico just so we could keep our duty-free liquor. mine wasn't even for ME. but i did get a red cowboy hat to match my new boots.
brent ate dear meat and shot a gun, because you have to do hillbilly things when you visit my family.
i put on costume jewelry and put up/decorated granny's tree.
my aunt kristi gave me a leather jacket for beasley.
granny gave brent a gigantic leather-bound atlas. at least it's not a portrait of JFK.
i finished my christmas shopping. sure, i had to return my graduation presents to accomplish it - but i still managed it - and paid my bills.
brent bought me a parakeet. i named him Krum. he makes pretty sounds, but he learned how to get out of his cage. yesterday, i found him huddled in a corner with beasley licking him enthusiastically. poor bird. beasley had licked him so hard for so long that many of his feathers had fallen out, and he was covered in dog slobber, shaking and traumatized. i'm shocked that beasley didn't eat him. brent gave him a bath and dried him with the heater.
virgil is extremely jealous. maybe she'll start being nicer.
