Christmas
Christmas this year was awesome. Actually, Christmas eve was better than christmas it's self.
I didn't wake up until like 10am ((though it may have been 11)) which was sweet since i've had crap sleep lately. So i woke up and i sort of drolled around for a bit, then showered. I basically just sat around all day or in Heffys bed on the computer. I was pretty hopped up on Robotussin though so i don't really remember much of the details. ((you know how when your sick and on medication everything moves in slow motion?)) Around like 4pm i started to help with dinner and i got dressed in "holiday" atire. Mal called and asked if he could come by to steal some blank cds. I said sure, not realizing that i'd be cooking when he got here and i wouldnt be able to actually see him. But anyway, i got dressed slapped some eyeliner and a tie on, strategically placed a head band on my head and got to work.
I also got to hide the pickle. **in Germany it's tradition to hide a fake pickle in the christmas tree and whom ever finds that pickle gets a present or prize or something** Around 630pm we started to get ready for dinner. so dinner was ready, we were all festive looking. Mum set the table very very nicely. We lit candles and had a nice family dinner together. We had terryaki chicken ((for me)) and beef ((for everyone else)) with this weird green bean and tomato combination and cheese/shrimp stuffed potatos. My god it was delicious. I could barely eat anything with out feeling sick though. But it was too good to just NOT eat. So i ate some green beans and like 1/4 my poatos with about 6 little chuncks of chicken and i was spent.
During dinner the fire department sponsored Santa thing came down the street, so we went outside as always and got pelted with mini candy canes. Went back inside and we all finished our dinner. After dinner we had tons of like chocolates and tarts and cookies Mum bought but none of us could even look at them we were so full. Eventually i dug into an Espresso and Chocolate tart, and Heffy got into the cookies. After that everyone sort of sat around talking. Everyone but me had wine with dinner. But since i despise wine i drank cranberry juice. Once they all finished off their glass of wine they started on the hard liqour. Which is a blast to watch. Daddy and Heffy started to do cranberry and vodka shooters. or maybe they were raseberry, i can't remember. And heffy started to do her "Pepermint Patty" shots. I think Daddy did one too. Mum was just drinking a cranberry and vodka. After awhile i decided to leave the conversation to do go clean my room up because i knew if i didnt it would be unbarable after we opened presents. So i folded and put away clothes, emptied out my clean clothes from my hamper and put all my dirty ones in it. Hung shirts up and made piles of hoodies and jackets i want to wash befor ei leave for KU. So i guess it was about 830pm by now. Everyone else was pretty buzzed i guess from all those shots and the wine and what not. So heffy came in and was liek WHITTY WE ARE GOING TO OPEN PRESENTS NNOOOWWWW!!! so i stopped what i was doing and we went and got our "stocking" gifts from the den. We opened those. Awesome little things from mum and dad. lot's of candy, a Monroe calender, some coasters that say "shaken not stired", some socks, even some underoos. Haha. Then we all passed out our other gifts to each other and opened those. I got some clothes, Dodge Ball, snow boots, a new ket board, mouse, and speakers, a neat little tiki booble head guy,the elephant care bear,a David and Goliath wallet that says "trouble maker." a watch, a neat little decoration magigger with a bug on it thats pink, a lap top cooling dock, uhhhh...Heffy got me a cute cardigan/tank top set with a poodle on it, she also bought me a toast bag which will be coming in the mail soon. Then when Garden State comes out she's buying me a copy. Basically i got a lot of awesome stuff from my family. And i loved EVERYTHING. After gifts they talked me into taking a shot of pepermint schnaps. Then everyone sat around talking some more and playing with our new gadgets. Heffy Mum and Dad worked on some more shots. Me and Mum talked a lot about stuff. It was neat to have a whole conversation with her and us not fight once. It's so rare. But yeah. At 12am we did "Christmas Shots" together. Me and heffy has pepermint schnaps and mum and dad had like vodka and cranberry i think? I dont know. We each took two at 12am. It was cool. After that i think Mum and dad watched some tv, and me and heather sunk back into our rooms. I think heffy watched tv with them though. I dont know. I went back to cleaning and talked to some folks online. Took some more medicine after those shots. ((which wasnt a good idea)) And eventually made it to bed. So, that was christmas eve.
Christmas ig to up about 9am. Showered, ate. We were out of the house by 1015. Went to Stephanies and turns out Don was sick too. Worse than me though. So we all sat down passed presents out and oepned them. I got some nice things from Stephanie. This si the first year i like everything she got me. I got a new digital camera, which owns everyones ass. I got 3 books which all sound like my kinda thing. I got a bright pink and yellow scarf. Me and heffy both got these nice little bracelets, mines blue and hers is lavender. i got this huge make up kit thingie from este lauder and some perfume as well. And i got this little like...charm thign thats suposed to go on your pants. It's and anchor. I wont wear it on my pants but i think it would make a good key chain thing. Since ive got a thing for pirates and all.
After presents we ate. Breakfast was okay. The fruit salad was to die for though. It had black berrys, raseberrys, strawberrys, pineapple, melsons, everything in it. *dies* So we ate then we packed up and headed out. We didnt actually leave her place until like 3pm though. Got home let the dog out and unloaded then reloaded the car. Put the dog away, got on our way to Grandma and Ceals.
Got there ate and talked to Ceal for awhile, then grandma came down stairs and was sooo happy to see us. and she looked like she was feeling a lot better. ((shes been sick and falling down a lot lately and shes all bruised up)) So it was really nice to see her getting around good again. So after we ate and talked some, Grandma was like okay this is boring lets go open presents!! so we did. Got nice stuff from her and Ceal. i got like some shirts and a piggie lamp and some gloves a beanie and matching scarf. Aroudn 830pm we eneded up leaving.
Came home and i talked to grant and adam some. after that i pretty much took some meds, ate a potato and went to bed.
So all in all christmas was very nice, no one fought and no one was sad or feeling so terrible that we couldnt function. Plus i wasnt the only sick one, both Don and Ceal were sick too. So i always ahd someone to sit with =)
best part of the day was hearing Stephanie talk about Don. "he's so independant!! he just doesnt come when he's called!!!" and my dad said something about "how do you feel about those electric collars?". Because Don was trying to find a picture of his daughter Sarah and the moose they shot. But he wouldnt listen to Stephanie as to where it was. Maybe you had to be there.
Now i just need plans for New Years. Grant offered to come keep me company but since his friend Joe ((i think)) is leaving and this si the last time he'd see him he doesnt wanna miss out on the party. ((which i was actually invited to but i'd feel funny going not to mention it's a little sketchie when i don't know these people)) so yeah. Mum and dad are going to the Carles though. So plans are all open now.
*shrug* i'll find something fun to do.
