Christmas Eve

Ahh, what a beautiful time of year. I absolutely love the Christmas season.

What's not to love?

• Department stores take like 70% off of all stuff that "MUST GO"
• You get to stuff yourself with delicious holiday foods, without feeling COMEPLETLY bad about it..
• People give you free gifts
• And the most important, the family gathers together to enjoy happy holiday merryment together.

Today is Christmas eve, and it feels good just to be alive. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I know I'm going to stuff my mouth. Enjoy the gifts!

Toledo

K, I so figured I would make a least ONE post while I was in the vacinity.

Ohio had a little rocky start, but then it got so much better today. The wedding and all it's intricacies were wonderful! I have a BIG family.

I probably have a lot os spelling mistakes in there, but I don't care. I have been awake for so long, and I am tired, and about to go to bed. I have a plane to catch tomorrow. Heading back to Texas!

Wazzup

Turtle racing?

Rachel's favorite show. DUMB.

What did I miss? Oh Christmas!

It was good on this end. I had lots of fun with the family :) TOO much food, but that was all good. Everyone loved their presents.

This week was great. I really enjoyed staying home. Too bad this break is almost over. Not just this break, but the year as well. It's truely saddening.

I did something I haven't done in years. I watched a movie. In fact, I watched 4 movies. :D

Ooo, Sleepy Hollow. It was so predictable. Even though I have never seen this before. The whole "chopping of the heads" thing was too fake. The story is a classic though.

Hmm, this movie was ok. It just came on, I wasn't interested at first but then it got better. About some assassin guy that hunts humans, and then runs from the FBI, predictable.

I have seen this one before. It is so twisted. The worst thing about this movie was that annoying lisp Detective Grahm had in this movie. Little weird, and psychotic, but it was ok.

Very cute movie. A little late for Christmas though, but it was good. About this elf, well human, that was raised by elves, and he thinks he's an elf, and then he goes to New York city. Classic.

[Excellent!]

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through th--oh wait.. Christmas is here. Nevermind.

That's right, I said it. Christmas is here. So you know what that means. Only 6 more days left in this year. I really sad you know. I can't believe it went by so fast.

Sucks because I was up late last night doing some cleaning before today. I would say at least until 2:30 a.m. I didn't hear Santa. Maybe he was running late...

My family was so good to me this year. Seriously, you should see the loot.

It's so cold today. BUT-no snow. I regret living here sometimes. It is always hot year-around, and...andd umm.. That's it. I love everything else :D

I put the title that because about a month ago, I watched a classic movie called "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."

It was fularious. <--- IS this a word?

Man, I love Christmas. I love the unity around the world. Makes me smile :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Run Little Turkey!

And there was nothing left but the feathers.

DIA- "Let's all have a moment of silence for all the turkeys around the world."

So today was a day of thanks, and I sure was feeling it in my belly.

What is Thanksgiving exactly?

"Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday to give thanks for the things that one has at the conclusion of the harvest season. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.

First Thanksgiving
The earliest Thanksgiving events in the British Colonies were held at what is present day Berkeley Plantation in Virginia in 1619 and at Plymouth in present day Massachusetts in 1621.

A long weekend
In the United States, Thanksgiving Day, always a Thursday, is part of four- or five-day long weekend which usually marks a pause in school and college calendars. Many workers (78% in 2007) are given both Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays, and others with leave benefits are allowed to take a vacation day. The day after Thanksgiving is promoted as the unofficial holiday of Black Friday: the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Many retailers open very early (for example, 5 A.M. or earlier) and offer "doorbuster" deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores.

Travel
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, and the following Sunday, last day of the long weekend, are typically two of the heaviest annual travel days for passengers airlines, intercity rail and bus services, and highway travel.

Traditional celebration
Thanksgiving meals are traditionally family events where certain kinds of food are served. As is evidenced by the tremendous level of travel, significant effort is made by family members to gather for the Thanksgiving celebration. Family participation is notably inclusive ranging from the very youngest to the most senior. First and foremost, turkey is the featured item in most Thanksgiving feasts (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes facetiously referred to as "Turkey Day"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, turnips, rolls, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner, although it was quite probable that many of these culinary items did not feature in the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Often guests bring food items or help with cooking in the kitchen as part of a communal meal."

Ok, So I am not that smart. I so stole that from Wikipedia.

Crackers!

Yum, I ate some delicious crackers today.

Can crackers be delicious?

So, I am so sore from Friday night. It was after the football game, and some friends and I decided to be stupid and race up and down the aisles of the Room. I don't think I could remember the last time I ran that fast. I was on the tips of my toes as I sprinted up and back down the rows. I wasn't exhausted either. It wasn't a hard sprint, but later I started to feel it.

Like today.

I didn't feel anything yesterday. Saturday. I think it was a nice day yesterday. I was at home, and I talked to Pastel for about 1987235060348572034 years.

But oooh, this morning.

I felt it.

I was so sore. I went to sleep on the floor by accident, and then I woke up in the middle of the night, and went to bed. When I got up this morning, my legs and abs, felt like they were bleeding.

OH the agony!

It was difficult to laugh, and I love to do that, so you know how it must have felt.

I went to Church today, of course, and I had a nice time. After, I went to 'Ryan's' with the family and a friend of the family. I ate some good food :D

When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down. I think I looked pregnant again, because my stomach was sticking out so far. I thought it was going to explode.

PASTEL. Again. Today I learned my Hungarian numbers :D

Now I just have to memorize them :D

This week went by so fast! It is already Monday again. Then it will be next Monday. Then Christmas. You just wait. See? It is already October! Today is the last day of September.

Saturday, I felt so go about myself. I worked on my Spanish. I hadn't done that in a long time, so I decided to work some, and it was worth it.

Mexican Dulce

Sunday is one of days where you get up, and think: "Ah, this is going to be a relaxing day."

It was somewhat like that, only I spent a lot of it talking with friends and family in person, on the internet, and on the phone.

I sent Pastel's letter today. Now let's see how long it takes him to get it.

My brother stopped by today. He bought a Pizza.

Guess what, my tooth is hurting me again. Giving me trouble. I want to sue that dentist for not doing a good job. I really don't want to have to get it pulled, but if that is the case, then I am up for it. I cannot stand staying up at night with tooth pain anymore. I just can't take it.

I got pictures of the kids; if you want to see, just tell me.

I ate some Mexican candy today. It was so hot, it cleared up my sinuses. It made my nose and eyes water. Now that's some good candy!

My kitten came home, I am so glad. I thought he ran away. He was so skinny. It looked like he hadn't eaten in days!

I think this weekend was filled with a lot of heartbreak. Lot's of things happened. I just hope this upcoming week is much MUCH better.

Pain Game

Sometimes, people are just never satisfied.

Exhibit A: ME.

I am not satisfied with this tooth, it is driving me up the walls, and my mouth is swollen. Hurts, to eat, and makes me so sore. I want to cry right now.

At our big celebration tonight, I could barely eat, and it was so sad.

The food was so good, instead of a barbeque, we had a fish fry.

Man, my sister can cook. Makes me a little jealous. NOT. I would rather have someone else cook. Hehe. I attempt to cook in the kitchen.

Darn, I should have taken a picture.

Almost all my siblings were there; 3 were missing.

Making Babies.

"How to make a baby: Use some Pastel juice and get some Leah mix it and wait 9 months."

Either that or Zach's way: Crack open a pumpkin, and eat the seeds.

Hilarious.

Interesting day, I had today. I went with Josephine to Taco Bell for lunch; $6.45 for two people, that's not bad.

My jaw got swollen last night, as I was sleep, and it went down a little this afternoon, but when I went to camp, people definately noticed. So embarassing. This morning, it looked like I had a peice of candy in my mouth.

My dentist put me on medication for my mouth, and I am so afraid to take the pain killers, because I hear they are really easy to get addicted to. PLUS.. it says if you take more than recommended when recommended, you could start having liver problems.

And you know, I don't need ANY more problems.

I cleaned. I was so happy. You know that never happens. I only had time for one room today, but tonight, I think I am going to finish the rest.

My sister came down from Ohio today, and it was so strange because they attacked me at camp. I didn't know they were coming.

She's going to stay a week, and then go back up there.

Right now, the pain isn't so bad. That crazy dentist gave me so many shots; it feel a little infected in the roof of my mouth and in some places in the back, but I think that is what's been causing all the swelling; when that goes away, the swelling should go with it.

Tomorrow, my dad is going to have a barbeque to celebrate my sister coming down. I am not going to miss that. It should be really fun. No camp either, so it's perfecto.

This weekend, around Saturday is going to be hectic though; Shopping, meetings, and moving. So much to do, so little time.

Right now, it is past time to eat, so I am going to go fix me some dinner.
