angelofmusic21I realized that I didn't post my Thanksgiving entry, so I shall do so now. I know that it has passed but I started to write it and I have the right to post it. LOL! I will place it behind a cut though so if you don't care you don't have to read it. :P.
I hope that you all had a very happy and safe Thanksgiving. The one we had on the day of was sort of tense as Flint's mother was here with us. His father was in the hospital and we didn't want her to be alone for the holiday. It actually worried me because she doesn't like me at all. Things ended up being alright but it was very hard.
After dinner that day, we all ended up taking naps as we were all full. About 9:15 that night, Flint's mother called to see if we were all still going Black Friday shopping. So we got up and got ready to go to Wal-Mart. It was sooo cold! The wind was extremely biting that night not to mention pretty strong. Once in Wal-Mart, it was nice and warm. Ok, maybe not so nice because there were so many people that it took a while to get anywhere. We stayed there for a few hours, none of us buying much because they really didn't have a lot for that time of night. I got some blu-rays and a speaker for my Iphone that makes it louder when placed on top of it. It's kind of cool actually. I got a couple of flash drives for my collection because they were so cheap and was going to buy a down filled comforter but they didn't have one big enough for my bed. They were selling those for $20 which was a great price considering that normally they go for about $100 depending on where you buy them. Mike got the same as me but no blu-rays. He got some memory cards as well. I didn't want those so didn't partake in buying those for myself. At the momen, I don't have a use for them. Flint got a few things as well but he didn't buy much at that time either. the real bargains started at 5:00 AM in the morning but it was decided that since I had O&M I had to go home and atempt sleep. We left Wal-mart and on the way to Flint's mother's house we stopped at McDonalds for food as we were hungry again. It had been about 7 hours at the time since we had last eaten anything. Once at Flint's mother's house I called my cab and headed back home by myself. Mike, Flint, and his mom decided to go back to Wal-mart and see what their deals were for that time of morning. Both Flint and his mother baught 50 inch TVs and Flint baught a WII for $89 as well. They got home just a little bit before I left for O&M.
O&M was miserable that morning as I was so tired and it was still so very cold. Luckily I could bundle up with the help of my instructor as she had some winter things that i didn't. To her it doesn't matter if it's freezing or not, she's a hard taskmaster. She tells me all the time that the reason she is so hard on me is because she believes in me and that I'm already an excellent traveler. She said she doesn't spend time working with just anyone. It makes me feel good to hear her say things like that. I know I can travel, I sometimes just lack the confidence.
Xmas was ok this year too.
Xmas eve we got invited to go over to Flint's parents to celebrate and I thought it was going to be all tense again but it turned out to go really well.
From Flint's parents, I got some new slippers and some candy. The cute part was when she gave me a can of catfood that said from Caitlinn and Satin to Ozzy. Caitlinn and Satin are their two cats. Next year I will give their cats something from Ozzy. I'm not expecting to get invited again but I will do it because I'm nice like that. LOL!
The food was really good and by the time we left for home, Mike and Flint had consumed what was left in the wine bottle. Not sure how much was in there but they polished it off while we were opening presents.
Xmas day was pretty mellow. WE all slept most of the day because we were all just really tired for some odd reason. After we all got up we wanted to go to McDonalds for Xmas dinner just for fun. It turns out that McDonalds was closed so we ended up going to BW3. I was ok with that as they have excellent food.
That was pretty much Thanksgiving and Xmas, now on to new years.
New years was spent at home. It was decided we wouldn't go out because it was supposed to be so cold and the windchills were supposed to be around -20 or -30 below zero. i don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being out in that freezing weather. So, after work we went to Cub and picked up some snacks and the boys went and bought the alcohol. I didn't drink as much as I did last year, man that was one nasty hangover the next day. I swore to not let myself get that drunk again, and I haven't to this day.
Mike ended up going to bed before midnight because he was not feeling well. I was on Team Talk With Doug and I'd like to thank him for sitting with me because i wasn't sure how bad things were going to be between Mike and Flint's drunkenness. i did end up drinking a bit more than I wanted but i only got buzzed, not drunk.
Dinner was Pizza Ranch, they have some awesome food!
This brings me to today! I'd like to say, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We've made it to 2013!
In light of it being the first of January I'd like to share my New years resolutions with you all.
NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS...
First and foremost, I'd like to find peace, the peace that i know resides within myself. The trouble is, I'm not sure how to obtain it anymore. I used to but too much has happened and I just don't know how. No matter what and no matter how I will find it again, I must find it again.
This to me is the most important new years resolution I can make and stick with. I believe some of the others in my list will tie into finding that inner peace I desperately want to find.
1. Eat healthier
2. Start singing again
3. Drink more water because I don't drink near enough
4. No more pop
5. Get back into writing my poetry
6. Finish writing an entire fanfic
7. Start working on my novel.
8. Save money.
9. Get a dog
10. Visit my family more especially now that i have the means to do so
11. Write in my journal more often even if it's just to say high and i'm still alive
12. Be a better friend to others by being around more than I have been
13. Meditate more
14. Become more intuned to my surroundings, nature
15. I will not take things so personally
16. I will laugh when I can, cry when I feel it's warranted, forgive those who have wronged me, find the strength to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.
Last but not least, I will live. I will live unless the Goddess says time to go.
I know this seems like a lot but these are things i need to do for myself. I have felt like I have bene off balance for a long time now and I need to get that back. When I feel balanced, i feel better. I'm much happier and much better to be around.
Some of you may not understand my resolutions and I know some of you will, I know those that do will be there to help guide and encourage me when things seem like I'm getting off course. For those who are, I deeply thank you in advance, I am most grateful to you.
I don't ever make these things as I have a very tough time sticking to them, however this year will be different, I know it will because this year I am extremely determined and nothing and i mean nothing will stand in my way.
I hope you all had a very happy New year and may 2013 be your year!
"So mote it be!"
<3Love and hugs to all<3
