holidayyyyyyyyyyyy

Mine was fantastic. Seeing everyone was a real treat. How was your holiday time? Get any good gifts?

Well, I may do an overview of everything. Why the fuck not, eh?!

12-24-11
I had to work but my awesome Momma came and picked me up. We went back to the house where I finished packing and got a quick shower. I actually wore my amazing Social Collision pants out of the house for the very first time this day. They are the most glorious pants ever to come into existence. They're reddish, skinny jeans made of pure amazing-sauce.

Well, Momma and I went to her huse and on the way there, I had her listen to the Black Lips since she and I have similar music tastes at times and she liked them, though not as much as I do. Skipping ahead to other things, my Grandma had made some tasty things for the get-together. The best food of all was her raw mushroom caps filled with crab salad. OMFG. They were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!! (I told her that she had to make them for every family gathering. Once, she and I made tomatoes filled with chicken salad and they were divine...)

I bought my brother-in-law Fast 5 on dvd because I drew his name and that's what he wanted. Get this bullshit. The dvd came in on 12-24 and it looked fake/wrapped in plastic wrap like shit. I was pissed. He's supposed to contact me and tell me how well it plays.

Needless to say, after some time with all of my Momma's side of the family, I wound up drinking Arbor Mist with step brother, playing video games with him and watching a cheesy movie on Showtime with him... lol. It was all fun. Then, I went to bed.

12-25

I woke up and had a healthy/not so healthy breakfast. Momma had homemade sausage and biscuits that I had one of with one strip of turkey bacon from my aunt. In addition to the sausage and bacon, my aunt and I enjoyed fresh fruit from a leftover fruit tray. For the next bit of time, my aunt and I sipped coffee and chatted as the rest of the house awoke. It was really fun talking to her for such a length of time. That being said, I would have loved to have spent more time with Momma but she said "you and Shana were talking and so I figured I'd let you two talk since y'all don't get to see eachother much." She was right but I also don't get to see her a whole lot, either...

Around noonish, Momma and I left for my Granny's house! (I wanted to be the first one there but I wasn't. My aunts Denise (amazzzzing) and Stephanie were there already, seated at the table with Granny and talking.)

After walking around and chatting to everyone as more family arrived every minute, I walked next door to one of my closest cousins lives. She was there cooking with her awesome mom and together, the three of us walked back to Granny's house. Soon, a big dinner ensued and I chatted with my cousin Cody, who usually talks with me for hours. He's awesome! He's a real big movie buff and now, he's got a PS3 which I find amazing. I told him that if he would get more into games we'd have even more to talk about!

At Granny's, the two most delicious things, other than Granny's famous ham that I had been waiting for since early October, were Aunt Denise's cheese ball and Granny's Jack Daniels Whiskey Cake which is sinful-chocolate-orgasmic-sweetness.

Yum.

Well, after we all ate, we had Dirty Christmas where I got a set of screwdrivers... lol. (At Momma's I won a shovel with a can of potted meat taped to it which I later sold to my step-dad for five bucks...) After playing Dirty Christmas, everyone started to leave slowly but surely. After the last person, Cody (who was busy talking to me) had left, Granny, her bf and I began to wind down. We watched some news and soon went off to bed.

12-26

It was the day for me to go back home, sadly. (I had to work 12-27-11, so I had to be home. The crappy part: I didn't realize that I had to be at work at 4:00pm. I could have stayed at Granny's longer!!!!) Granny, her boyfriend and I got ready after a delicious breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes (my favorite food that Granny makes) and we went to the cemetary first to see my grandfather's grave. I like to stop there when I am near the area. As we left, unseen to anyone, I blew a kiss towards his gravestone. I'd like to think he got it. :)

My holiday was fun. I bet I put on some weight eating so much good shit. I brough home a ton of the cheese ball and cake that I mentioned earlier and sad to say, the cake is alread gone... lol.

This post has gone on long enough. M.I.A is jamming in my ears and is now going to get my full attention.

Bye for now....

With the Good news comes the Bad

As an update to my last post, Granny is doing a lot better. The doctors found her real issue and have temporarily corrected it. Soon, it will be fixed permenantly and she should be marvelous.

We wrecked today in the rain. It could have been a lot worse. We could have went off the other side of the road which was a big hill/drop off but we just flipped the car onto its side in the mud. The paramedics had to bust the back windshield out to get us out of the car. It sucked. I'm shaken but fine.

:(

Life just keeps getting worse

My granny, who I am very close to, is in the hospital. This is the second time she's been in the hospital in like a two month time frame and I am VERY worried about her. I am not big on country music, though I was when I was a child but Granny loves the following song and I'm listening to it thinking about her.

Please hope with me that she gets better. She's having heart issues and it's really hurting me. I used to live with her some years ago and she's just like another mother to me. I'm not ready for her not to be here on this Earth.
