| Tomorrow our family will make the trek up to Grandpa's house for our
tradition of Christmas caroling in his neighborhood. In years past, my
younger cousins have brought their flutes and violins and stuff, and we
walk to all his friend's houses so he can show off his big, talented
family.  I invited Ryan, and he jokingly
said he's not sure he's ready for that level in our relationship. His
mom, who was sitting nearby, said, "If you can put on a suit jacket for
this girl, I think you can handle that!" She was referring to his last
minute purchase of a suit jacket for the Nutcracker Ballet we went to a
couple weeks ago. I had never seen him in one prior to that (except for
Jessica and Billy's wedding, but that doesn't count because we didn't
know each other then) and he is not one to don a suit very often, so
needless to say, I was surprised! So yes, Ryan, I think you can handle
caroling with my crazy family.
I still have shopping to do, and I plan to hit the stores one last time
tomorrow. Did some window shopping yesterday with my good friend
Audrey. She's in town for the Holidays and it was great to visit with
her. She's already planning what we can do when I come visit her in
Austin. We found a great gift for her single younger brother. A Miss
Perfect Grow-A-Girlfriend. She grows in water 5 to 7 times her current
size! (hee hee!)
I'm also very excited about the upcoming visit from my friend Christi,
who is coming to visit in January. Haven't seen her in a couple years,
and she'll be bringing her baby daughter who I haven't met yet, so I'm
looking forward to spending time with them.
Last night Ryan's mom loaded me up with a big bag of "piggy cookies"
which I have already gotten into. They are the greatest thing to eat
with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate! We call them piggy cookies
because they are shaped like pigs. And I feel like one the way I eat
them. Mmmmmm!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
And watch out for those psycho shopping women and their giant SUV's!

| As of today, I hate shopping.
I'm sitting in my warm kitchen, drinking hot cocoa and eating a peanut
butter cookie while resting my aching feet. I just spent the last 4
hours driving around the metroplex and then walking around Forever 21
at Grapevine Mills. I went to look for an outfit to wear to this party
and thought I could also do some browsing for Christmas gifts. If you
have ever been in Forever 21, you know why I spent over an hour
searching for a top to go with a black skirt. You'd think that would be
an easy task, but trying to find what you want in that store is like
searching for.....Santa Claus.
While I was on my mission, not one salesperson asked if they could help
me out...and I had to listen to the worst examples of "Christmas" music
I have ever heard. There was alot of stupid rock bands singing classic
songs with lyrics like, "What's a Partridge?....doo doo doo....What's a
Pear Tree?" and some rap song that said that Santa was on the corner
buying crack.
I actually did walk out with a few items that I'm going to try and make
an outfit out of, but it will probably look like I just grabbed
whatever caught my eye after telling myself I wasn't leaving
empty-handed. Which is just what happened. And I didn't even get to do
any Christmas shopping. :(
I think I will just do the rest of my shopping online this year, like my friend Erin told me last night she is gonna do.

Only 6 more classes to go and I am done for the semester! Woo Hoo!
Going to a "Gangsta Holiday" Party this weekend. What does one wear to this kind of festivity?

| Happy Birthday to Shelly!
Last night we all went over to Aunt Kathy's for what we have
affectionately dubbed as "Girl's Night", which means movies and eating
snacks all night. Nobody knows the reason, but Shrimp rings seem to be
the official food of a Girl's Night at Aunt Kathy's.
We watched White Christmas, because Jennifer (our cousin) had never
seen it before, and 13 Going on 30, because Aunt Kathy hadn't seen that
one. Her neighbor Lisa came over and did my nails, which was fun
(though now I am having some difficulty typing), and I ate too many
Wheat Thins. So all in all, a good evening. 
Ryan left yesterday for the Men's Retreat with our church, and he won't
be back till Sunday afternoon. Right about now they're probably getting
ready to go fishing or play golf or something. I think tonight is the
big Wild Beast Feast. He's probably going to come home with a beard and
plaid flannel shirt acting all macho and wanting to show off his new
bow hunting skills.
I am celebrating Shelly's Birthday today at work.....so she can have the day off.
Am I a good sister or what? (cough cough)
Only 43 days until Christmas!!

| This past week has kicked my butt because I've had to open every day.
On Tuesday, as I was driving to the store at 4:15 AM, jammin' out to
"Hypnotize" cuz I'm old skool like that, I exited the freeway behind a
yellow open top Jeep. The guy driving it was swerving a little bit and
definately speeding (I may have been too), and as he changed lanes he
raised his fist and pumped it in the air vigorously about four times.
I wish I could start my day with that kind of energy.
