Today was pretty smooth. I got to sleep in, and didn't have to work. Then I called my niece Steph and she was sitting at her Mom's work, bored out of her mind. So, Rich went and saved the day and brought her here. We played Wii (Raving Rabbids) for a few hours and then we to see Bedtime Stories staring Adam Sandler. 'Grandma' Carol joined us as well. I enjoyed the movie, as did Steph but my Mom said it didn't do it for her. She doesn't dislike it, but not her favorite.
Came home with a belly full of soda and popcorn and vacuumed and did some laundry. Now, I'm just hanging out thinking that I should do some writing in my journal (my actual pen and paper one, not this one online), but I'm thinking I'll just copy some entries from here and put it in my journal.
I feel that it's so much easier to pour out my thoughts when actually putting them down is faster. When I write, I lose focus because I can't write fast enough to keep up with my thoughts, and how I really want to get them down.
Well, I'm off to copy this into my journal and maybe add some insight.
I enjoyed my day with Steph and hope we have another soon.

I was well Behaved!
I must have been well behaved this year because Santa kicked some serious butt! I received everything I wanted and then some.
I had a terrific Christmas Eve at Katie's house: We ate and ate and ate... And watched some HILARIOUS videos with everyone. I gave Piper a Christmas present that literally made her so excited that she leaped up and when I wasn't looking TACKLED me to the ground. I was on my back laughing as she was yelling, "Thank you May May, THANK YOU MAY MAY!" That made me feel really awesome! My mom gave me an over night bag, which I have been wanting one anyway, but that's not the great part: It's a BETTY BOOP over night bag. I love it! Then we played some games, shared some really funny stories, and laughed almost all night. Rich was being awesome and sticking it out by staying as late as we did with his back feeling as bad as it did. Thanks Rich!
We came home that night, feeling tired and dreading taking care of all the dogs after being gone for so long, I knew they were going to have a ton of energy. We unpacked everything and settled in and let the dogs run ramped for a while, and decided to watch Step Brothers. We were laughing and relaxing when we realized, "We get to open ONE present today!" We just happened to pick one of our favorites, we didn't know we were going to get it at all. We actually almost bought it ourselves, the Wii Fitness Pad! So, of course, all the sudden we had renewed energy and played with it for the rest of the night (after we finished the movie).
I layed my head down that night extremely excited for morning. I awoke at 4 AM, then again at 5 AM, again at 5:30 AM. That all would have been fine, but I promised Rich that the earliest I'd wake him was 7:30 AM. I layed there awake the whole time, watching the minutes tick like the clock had molasses in it. When 7:30 AM struck I bounced out of that bed like you wouldn't believe. Rich wasn't happy, he was my morning time Grinch. I was so pumped and had to coax him out of bed.
We finally we're ready to start the day: We opened out gifts, which we had plenty of, and we were so very happy. I received things I didn't ask anyone for but had been needing (mind readers helped me there). It was great, I am thrilled.
Then we went to Annette's, and this is where we each get out gifts from Santa (also probably my favorite part so far), and Santa brought me my Garmin GPS unit!!! I'm thrilled. Rich was given exactly what he was dreaming of as well, his AMP, even though he had no idea and thought it wouldn't/couldn't ever be his.
We brought Erik and Annette's gifts as well, which they were thrilled with (Although, I think everyone really enjoyed what we got Erik, we all played with it all day). His Real Flight, and his heli. Of course the Scratchers where a hit too. I think all-in-all, everyone was happy. I know Timmy loved his gift.
Then we hung out playing with everything, until we had to get ready to move forward with the day. Annette and I went to my appt. to bring the AMP in and get the dogs to put them in Grandma's backyard to get energy out while we had Christmas Dinner. That was really pleasent, it looked like everyone had a good time. I sure did. It was nice!
We all left from there and now I'm writing this, but in 15 minutes I'm picking up my niece Stephanie and we're going to the movies to see Marley and Me which I'm excited about. It's going to be Annette, Erik, Rich, Stephanie and I. I'm going to let Stephanie pick and eat anything she wants for Christmas. Over load on:

Well...
Well, took Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off of work, and Rich had to be up this morning at 5:30ish, and I'm sooooo excited for Christmas that I couldn't fall back asleep. So, I'm up at the butt-crack of dawn and now I feel like my wait for Christmas is going to feel even SLOWER! I was thinking I'd sleep half the day away, but nooooo.
I can't wait it, I'm soooooo excited! And the gifts Rich and I bought for a few certain people, ROCK! Which makes things even more exciting because I can't wait for them to open their gifts.
I also REALLY want to see Kasey today. I've been missing her lately.
Well, I'm going to keep myself ocupied so I don't go NUTS waiting for EVERY minute to pass by!

Dogs
I'm currently watching a friends dog right now, while he is far across the world. The dog is a puppy and DRIVING ME NUTS! I'm going insane. I have two dogs of my own and I watch other dogs during the week; for instance, today I had two puppies and two adult dogs and I wanted to go crazy. Trying to walk them was a pain because the puppies were not interested in the walk they just wanted to play, causing the leashes to be consistently tangles, which annoyed both me and the adult dogs. I'm just going insane, and I can not wait until my friend is back and his dog is safely at his house: DRIVING HIM NUTS!
Well, all is well other then that, just way too excited for Christmas!

Christmas
I hate to be this way because 'tis not what Christmas is about but: I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THIS YEAR! I'm excited to give the ones I bought for people as well. That part always makes me happy.
I'm hoping that Christmas eve at my sister's house is going to be fun, but one of my most amazing relatives fractured (or something of the sort) her L2 in her back. I'm pretty bummed that she will not be attending, but I'm still excited to see everyone.
The other AMAZING thing about Christmas is that people fly home to visit! I get to see people that I don't see but a few times a year, or people I see ONCE a year. Pretty fantastic.
Also, the excessive egg-nog abuse is great as well. ;-) Bud's egg-nog is the best, just in case any of you were wondering. You can buy it in bulk and then freeze it and enjoy is mid-year. I found that out a few years ago, and man, is that a GREAT trick.
I'm also going to see Marley and Me, which I can't wait for. It looks as though they went astray from the book story quite a bit, but I saw some really funny scenes from the book that they play out in the movie (well, what I gathered from the commercials).
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Christmas rocks! Oh yeah, and I don't have to work, although the money would be great, I'm glad to have it off. I have been working non-stop sense LAST Monday. Actually, I'm on a job RIGHT now, I'm sleeping in the San Francisco at a families house while their father is out of town.
I can't wait until Christmas!!!

Leaving
I have to leave soon to go back to work, but just wanted to get this started. Thanks to Jhani G. for the site, it's the best one I've found so far. Simple.
Once I have the time, I'm going to search through my journal for some updates and then I'll go from there.
For me, this is going to be mostly for venting. When I'm really happy, sad, pissed, ect.
Can't wait to have the time to start.
