Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope that you had a great Christmas. Santa brought me lots of goodies. I ‘cleaned up’, as McDuff puts it.
I had to attach a photo of Dora and me. McDuff was gone visiting family, and so I got to hang out with my parents, brother and his girlfriend. We had a great time. I will be extremely happy when McDuff is back in town.
The Cowboy’s game sucked. Go figure. I lost interest in the 4th quarter. Despite that, have a Happy New Year!
Amazing words by an amazing band…The Goo Goo Dolls…”Better Days”
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
Cuz I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again
And it’s someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we’re alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there’s 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
Yes…I know. It’s been a while.
I am in my new apartment. It’s quiet. I don’t hear construction. I sometimes hear my neighbors in the morning as their bathroom is right next to mine. Not a problem. It’s quiet. Did I mention that no one is walking above me? No high heels! No dogs running around! I’m on the top floor! YAY! I don’t hear construction in the morning. It’s quiet. And it’s big. Well, big for me.
I am cooking more. I like my kitchen here. Eating out gets old and gross. It’s not good for us. It’s just not. When I cook, I cook healthy.
The Mavs are up by 9. Go Boys. I’m glad Dirk is able to play tonight. Make that 12. Dirk just made a 3 pointer. Go Dirkie boy!
Mom, Dad and I went to visit my grandparents today. It was a good, but short visit. They can’t tolerate guests for too long. So we got up early, parents picked me up, and off we went to Burnet. We got home around 6. I never get to see them enough. They live only 4 hours away, but it’s a day trip when I go. If it’s overnight, it’s with an Austin friend of mine or just drive back that day. It was good to exchange Christmas gifts with them and talk with them for a while.
Tomorrow my brother and his girlfriend are coming in town. That should be fun! I haven’t seen him in a while. I always like to see him, even if we do fight. It’s all in good fun. Well, not really fun, but we still love each other after it is over with!
Well, Merry Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Did you hear me?! MERRY CHRISTMAS. Not Happy Holidays. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
