Hey everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas! I know I did. LOL There is so much to tell...I mean, so much to tell you all! I hope you don't mind reading a very long post! lol Just a warning in case you don't want to read it all.
First off, I didn't die!! (No, of course I didn't.) The roads were so slippery for driving, and the breaks on the back wheels don't work, so every time we turned onto another road the back would slide and I'd freak out that we were about to roll into a ditch. Ugh, talk about heart attack!!
I saw National Treasure 2! It was amazing, though not as good as the first, I have to admit. I won't spoil anything, but it just seemed that a) the characters weren't developed anymore from the first one, b) there wasn't as much treasure hunting in this one, and c) Ben and Abigail were living together, but not married. That bothered me greatly, and took some of the enjoyment out of seeing it for me.
So, Christmas was really great! I got a bunch of stuff that I will list, of course it will be the most important stuff, you know. xD There was a lot of little things, like candy, that I won't name item by item. Oh, and I really enjoyed the frosted cookies and Spinach dip! Yes, we made it again! Whewt!
So, I got a Jack Sparrow card board cut out. My uncle placed it and then rang the door bell, and I though it was my friend coming to drop off some cd's, and I screamed when I opened the door, lol. I was very happy. I also got a Pirate's book, Scene It Pirates, a Pirates AWE tin with popcorn in it, A Jack Sparrow poster, a pirates necklace, Pirates card game, Pirates computer game...(which we have to trade in for same thing PS2...) PIRATES 3 CALENDER!!!! (It put it up already, it's so cool!!!)
Lots of Pirate's stuff, can you tell?
And then I got a gift card to American Eagle for thirty dollars, a gift card to Barns and Noble for thirty dollars, two gift cards to Target (one fifteen dollar one, and one fifty dollar one), a bunch of makeup, little stocking trinkets, an extra battery, memory card, and holder for my digital camera, lots of candy, pajama bottoms, an mp3 player (it's NOT an ipod, sadly...), shoes, and some other little things.
So, I am very happy, though I know that's not what Christmas is all about, it was still nice to get some gifts. We did sit down and read the Christmas story and sing carols though, it was really fun!!! And after that I slept all the next day, I was beat tired.
So, then we traveled out to my dad's parents house to celebrate Christmas there. (In fact, I'm still here, sitting on the floor writing this, listening to Sweeney Todd, the soundtrack. It's amazingly good, but my mom says I can't see the movie. -Hisses-)
My aunt and uncle are here from Texas, my dad's adopted brothers are here as well, and then my family and my grandparents. There's a lot of people. We've been talking a lot, especially since my dad's mom and dad are the ones taking me to England. (Super excited bout' that, by the way!) So, tonight we read the Christmas story again, sung carols again, and then opened presents. All of mine were England oriented.
So, I got my journal in which I will write things in and paste stuff in after every day in England (so I can remember what I did when I get back), a glue stick, a map of the Tube (train system, sort of. Shows me all the stops and such), ziploc bags for my clothing so I can fit it all in this really small suitcase, a fleece blanket of Jack Sparrow (Woooh!), a book about England and what we will be seeing, some Anna cookies, and some other things I can't think of at the moment.
I DON'T want to go back to school yet! I'm so used to being out...ugh. Ah, well.
New Years is so soon, and I'll have fun sleeping at my best friend's house, but it's also a sad time for me because it is the fourth year anniversary of Suzy dying. She was my first rat, and she had been down in my friends basement....I don't know how, but she had gotten really sick. And New Years day she died. I was really really sad....couldn't get out of bed.
I was tagged as well!!!
