The betch is back…

So I am back from Christmas festivities and my dad’s house.  It was a pretty good time.  On Christmas morning I was at my moms house.  We opened gifts ate breakfast, cleaned up, etc, etc etc.  There weren’t many surprises…as well all knew what we were getting.  I was with my mom when she bought all of my presents so it was a real shocker.  lol.  Some of use also got our gifts before xmas…like me and my phone.  However, I got what I wanted, so all was well.  I drove to my dads around 2 and opened my gifts there.  My brother and sister are both young, so we still believe in santa. cute!  So I got ink cartridges there, a few lotto tickets and some money.  I also got a watch…the exact one that I wanted.  However, I only looked online for it and the pics made it seem fab online…however, I know have decided that I dont care for it at much.  More to come on this later.  It has become a debacle. I played with the dog and looked at the kids’ gifts before we headed over to my gpas for xmas day dinner and more gifts.  It was nice to be there…I got to visit both of my uncles and one of their wives.  It is great to see them…they are a lot of fun and make getting together fun.  We opened gifts and then had dinner and snacks and such.   I got some money, gift cards, a hoodie, and cologne.  Woo!

Wednesday was spent sleeping WAYYY in and watching the kids and the dog.  it was actually enjoyable.  I spent the whole day playing with their new toys, games and movies.  They were good for me, and it was nice to spend some quality time with them.  I will be posting pics of my xmas on facebook later.  I spent the whole day there and then came back home late last night.  I had a severe headache, but decided to put away Christmas stuff anyways.   Then I watched the realworld and figured out what i am going to do with my cash.

I put a BUNCH in savings, and then i am going to spend the rest on a few items I would like:

-Digital Photo Frame

-Sweater Vest from American Eagle

-some other misc. Items

-and…and upgrade to my watch…which i thought i like…but I don’t.

Not having a receipt and dealing with Kohls on returns is the devil.  Plus, they don’t have the watch I want…so I am going to the store again tonight to look at some more and hopefully find one and just get it.

I haven’t had a watch since before thanksgiving, and I am in desperate need of getting one, getting it sized correctly, and doing all of that before I leave for school again next sat or sunday.  I haven’t decided which day i am moving back in.  Time will tell.

So, now it is your turn.  I have three questions for you!!!

1) How was your christmas?  What did you get?

2) When are you moving back to school?  Sat or Sun?

3) and…if you have any stories or advice for returning things…oh joy

Until tomorrow…

So today is my family Christmas party…at my house. We are expecting 30 people…give or take. Hopefully it goes well. My mom is all stressed out about it and always makes such a production out of it. That, in turn, pisses us all off because she freaks out the whole day about nothing, then she gets this attitude and EVERYONE ends up pissed off by the end of the day. JOY! I can’t wait…

BUT BUT BUT, I am excited for food, family, lots of home cooked sweets and such. I will probably gain 5pounds today alone. ick. AND, my break workout is failing miserably. I haven’t lost ANY weight…probably just gained more. What can you do? lol. Hopefully winter quarter I will make it to Ping and loose some bear fat. gross.

Sorry I did not blog/video blog last night. I came home from work and did a few things, ate some dinner, caught up on online schtuff and then at 9:00 I got the urge to bake and cook. So, I make sugar cookies (with misc shapes of holiday figures). I made the batter, rolled them out, cut them, baked them, and then iced them after they were done cooling. I also make scotceroo’s. My absolute favorite thing ever. So, I made a double batch (because I could and I am good like that). I am proud of myself for knowing how to do all of that stuff on my own. I will have you know that the rest of the family decided to sleep and NOT help me/partake in the holiday spirit…so I did it myself. (and in case you were wondering – Scotcheroo’s contain about your yearly allotment of calories…could explain why I am so obese).

So, I did dishes, cleaned up, watched the soup and went to bed. No time/energy to experiment with the Vblog. Maybe some other time.

However, the next few days will be busy for me (as I suspect it will for all of you). I will be visiting my Dad tomorrow and then monday and tuesday are packed with events as well. I will try to blog when and if I can. Stay tuned!

EDIT:

PS:  annie lennox’s “walking in a winter wonderland” is quite possibly my favorite song of hers.  It is so “eurythmics” and her style.  It makes me laugh…a wee bit.

However, not quite as good as “Sex Crime”.  You tube that shit for a kick ass music video!
