Christmas In List Format

December 27, 2006

Because my sinus and my uterus have joined forces to swell to three times their size and gang up on me, reducing my concentration powers tremendously:

  • Not putting the car into any more ditches because I refused to drive it anywhere
  • Ditching my grandparents on Christmas Eve to go out to Caribou Lake with my brother
  • Refusing to fight with my father, which irked him to no end
  • Agreeing into driving a 14-year-old (whom I hadn't seen since she was 6) back to Anchorage with me, who talked non-stop
  • "When you go out with someone for a long time, you love them, you know? And six months is a really long time."
  • Family gossip
  • Getting my sister-in-law's snow machine stuck only once
  • Getting my brother in trouble with his wife by announcing to the whole family that we had to roll her machine to get it unstuck
  • Lacey unwrapping a present a day early and spreading nuts all over the floor while everyone was at church
  • OH MY GOD THE FAMILY GOSSIP

I think family gossip is one of the best things about the holidays.

OH my....what gossip are we missing?

Wait wait wait, Ms. Soon To Be: when did I miss this???

It was a good weekend, as far as I was concerned - I loved it! Need to do it more often.

Oh I got engaged on Christmas Eve. I'm not getting hitched until 2008 but its never too early to practice the hyphenation.

That's so awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks ! Now its time to start planning 2 weddings, one for Homer and one for my parents down in Missouri. Luckily I have almost 2 years to get it done.
