Had a good Christmas

I woke up early, 8AM, opened my and the cats' gifts from Santa. Cats got a circle that a ball rolls around in, rope covered balls, and a fuzzy teaser (shorter version of a fishing pole w/out the long string). I got a soap and lotion bath set in vanilla and milk scent and some candy canes with a light up pen. Took cats out and then went over to my parents' house. Had hamburgers for lunch. Dad had to announce the hamburgers came from the extra supplies from the 4th of July (Mom is on the committee). I said "We love to eat 6 month old hamburgers". It tasted like hamburger.

We started Miracle on 34th Street with Natalie Wood and opened presents. I got 2 sets of pj's my Mom shorten before I left, a large bottle of Target moisturing bath wash with no scent, and a kitty calendar. Tried on pj's for Mom to shorten and they fit nicely so I won't be taking them back. Mom thought they were a little big, but then pj's should be baggy for rolling around in your bed. I promised to give her my old pj's since they make good quilt blocks, they are getting thin and ragged around the waistband exposing the drawstring so I'm sure charity wouldn't want them. I caught Mom working on her quilts when she should be relaxing in front he TV watching college football, there has to be 200 games going on Christmas Day. Yeah, she said, the ones she wants to see are all on cable. Dad refuses to pay for cable and gets my siblings to record shows for him.

Finished Miracle on 34th Street, watched my brother's present of Pixar short films, and then my Grinch That Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. The last got left behind in Dad's rewinder so I'll get it later. Then ate supper of pork, I think, it was some kind of meat cut into slices. Ate up my Christmas cookies and my brother's rolls and then said good bye. Kitties were happy to see me and chased the laser light. Watched A Christmas Story and went to bed. Now I'm off to see what I can grab for 50% off. I noitced often things are not on sale because merchants expect this after-Christmas splurge. If the day Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year, then day after Christmas must be second place.

Then I have to come up with a New Year's Resolution. I think I will resolve to completely give up on trying to find a boyfriend and try a new hobby to get my sense of adventure out of my system. Wait a minute, I think that was last year's resolution and my friends tried harder to find a warm body for me to date. I swear this just like high school where people kept asking why I sat by myself at lunch and never once sat down next to me so I wouldn't be alone. Until someone else validates me as a wonderful person to know, no guy will have anything to do with me. I noticed I wasn't asked out by guys I knew for months and months until I broke up with my last boyfriend. And people can't figure out why I'm not swooning over their attention. Cause they had plenty of time to get to know me and ask me out, and they waited until I was heartbroken to do it. But then, they just wanted to hang out on my couch instead of takign me out so they were boring anyway. Perhaps I will just try a new hobby and have fun by myself. Then tell no one about it since the people I know can't handle me doing new things. I cut my hair short once and they freaked out like someone died. Post later. Bye!
