Favorite Time of Year

-Doing all of my shopping on the 23rd.

-Not putting our tree up, but rather borrowing a 3ft tall fiberoctic.

-Only having 70 lights on the 3ft fiberoctic accompanied by a few small ornaments.

-Displaying this tree on the 24th.

-Being 18 and in the classified category "too old for gifts".

-Walking into family's homes wearing flip flops and short sleeves on Christmas Eve.

-Having a sinus infection which brings a sucky appetite for the best time of year for food.

WHINE WHINE WHINE.

On a positive note,

-I was able to spend some time with both of my favorite families (Norman's and Easter's)

-to see a couple of dear friends that I hardly see anymore

-received the first ornament that we will place on our first Christmas tree together AND it's Mickey and Minnie =)

-Got the Bose headphones that I've wanted for quite some time.

-Enjoyed watching Christmas movies with loved ones

-and organized my room and closet... which makes me feel super wonderful.

So Merry Christmas. 

There were definitely things about this year that drove me crazy, but I didn't miss out on anything that really matters in life, and was thoroughly blessed with what counts the most.

Ironic

While walking through Disney World on December 18th, I hear "Let it Snow" being sung to congas in a tropical rhythm, airing over the world's favorite 80 degree F fairy-tale land. 

"I had an epiphary!" -Michael Scott

The title above may not be the EXACT quote... but the same message is there, in which pertains to me. I've come to realize that I am not the blogger I'd like to be. This is my first post since like 2 or 3 months? And it isn't even about anything. So I need some new ideas. 

Meet My Randomocity!

I'm going to somewhat vent a little. However, I'm going to make sure that there will be more positive things said than negative. 

. I can not stand selfish people. UGH!

. This morning was incredible. You know that early morning- I can crawl back into my cozy oh so comfortable bed- feeling? Oh gosh, yeah.

. I only have one more week (after this one) to deal with Elm Spanish class! WOO HOO!

. I've already gotten a jump start on Christmas shopping. This is pretty amazing for me! Last year, for example- I was rushing around 2 wks before trying to purchase everything for everyone. 

. I'M GETTING A WII!!! 

. I heard a song the other day from the early 90s that I haven't heard in years, and it's been stuck in my head every since!

 "She's got her daddy's money, her mama's good looks, more laughs than a stack of comic books, a wild imagination, a college education, add it all uuuup it's a deadly combination! She's a good bass fisher, a dynamite kisser, country as a turnip greeeen. She's got her (dun) daddy's money (dun na na)  her mama's good looks, and look who's lookin at me!"

Fun stuff. =) Don't you love finding those old songs that you once loved before?

. I have quite a few people that I miss dearly. Friends that are off at college or either live several states away... but the good thing?

I'm going to Disney during thanksgiving, and then again for Christmas break! HECK YES. 

. My daddy will be 49 tomorrow. Time to start planning for next year's big party! 

. Oh, and the best part? Here's the parana's woeful tale of the day. I got my bottom braces on last Wednesday, right? Well because of my overbite, they had to put an appliance in the roof of my mouth so my top teeth don't break my bottom brackets. I have the worst lisp EVER. It's slowly getting better- but wow it's frustrating. My bottom brackets are stainless steel instead of ceramic (clear) like the top, so now I really can say "I'm a parana. Parana's live in the Amazon!" and look like the girl from Nemo. Ha. 

That's it for now! 

God laughs.

My dad and I were having a conversation a couple of days ago concerning the importance of me having a spare key for my car. What you need to know is that my key contains some kind of recognition chip and thus can not be replicated for a small price. Of course, my argument was that I could just be responsible and not have to spend about $100 in having one that I may never need. After all, I've never before lost the one I already have.

A couple of hours later.

I'm unloading my things from the bus from the previous weekend's events. It's a weekly thing- unload all the clothes, wash them, and get them back on the bus. I finish what I'm doing, and go to grab my pocket book and keys. Only- I can't find them. About this time- 10pm- my dad calls to tell me he's going to bed unless I'm going to be home within the next little bit- then he'd wait up for me. So I tell him that I'm looking for my keys- right after we've had this conversation about me losing them! In the meantime, my dad is laughing at me, saying those oh so dreadful words of "I told you so". I checked everywhere. My pocketbook, the first place I ever put them, they aren't there. My bunk, where I've been unloading things from, not there. Inside the house, maybe I left them on the bar before I went out to the bus, they aren't there. I looked for my keys for 40 minutes. Yes. 40. So I'm thinking- Ok, God. I've cried uncle. I get it. Finally I found them. They were in my pocket book, but they had gotten down into a side pouch that I had no clue was even unzipped. I guess God has a pretty good sense of humor, and more than likely I'm going to end up out of a hundred bucks here pretty soon. 

Heroes s3. SPOILER ALERT.

So if you saw Heroes last night, you're most likely haunted with the thought that Sylar could be Clair's uncle. REALLY?! Is that why he didn't kill her? What in the world is up with Parkman? Where is Molly? Do I REALLY have 6 days of waiting for the next episode? 

Now you know what my previous Monday night consisted of. What you didn't know is that this brace face pigged out on sausage rolls... or something of the sort. Not that sausage rolls are of ANY concern to ANYONE except the hungry. Maybe I'm hungry. Hmm. 

I've just had to take a break from college for the night. I've worked for 5 consecutive hours and am still slightly behind. Ok- pretty behind. 

Did you know that this week has been deemed National Stay at Home Week? This time of year always makes me enjoy home much much more. The weather in some weird way makes me so much happier. I sleep better. I'm more energized. I'm more positive. I'm wearing long sleeve shirts- and I'm loving it. 

Speaking of long sleeve shirts- I got some pretty amazing deals at American Eagle last week. Any top- buy it, get one half off. Oh yes. 

My cat almost died. My dad drove his truck not knowing that my darling kitty was underneath the hood. Luckily she wasn't near the whatever belt he mentioned, and she came out of the truck- at the church- without a scratch. He got her back home and she hid for the rest of the day. My poor girl. 

Luckily, I have a Challenge episode on T-Vo awaiting my attention. Forget college. I can do more tomorrow.
