I’m too lazy right now to do an in-depth entry, so behold the First Annual Holiday Comparison Sheet (of death!)
Good: Made my connection in Detroit so I could even get home. Try running from Gate A75 to C20 in under 10min. Don’t forget to fall up the escalator (it’s half the fun)!
Bad: Dad was over an hour late picking me up from the airport. Baggage claim is really boring. Thank goodness for books and downloaded cartoons (completely legal, I swear! and even if it was illegal, you’ll never catch me coppers! bwahahaha)
Good: Lots o’ cool toys for Christmas (including, but not limited to-several dvds, some odd sweaters, and a practice sabre of my very own)
Bad: Dealing with Cayenne. She’s evolved into one of the most self absorbed people I know. Honestly, I can’t wait for her to start school again.
Good: Got to see extended family. Most everyone is in good health, the exceptions being my grandpa and my great aunt (but their conditions haven’t worsened really, so it’s all good).
Bad: Had to put up with certain members of extended family. There’s always a cousin or two who you just never get along with. Yeah, I’ve got a few. They’re young yet, so there’s still some hope.
Good: Rang in 2004 with Mandilla (4th year in a row). Went to a hockey game earlier in the day, which was really fun. Then hung out, watched some Sex in the City, and went to a party. I was driving that night, so no drinking for me, but Mandilla had herself a ball (as well as everyone else there), so it was interesting. And what kind of a New Years would it be without driving home my best (and very drunk) friend.
Bad: Mandilla got to drive me to the local drugstore so I could pick up a home pregnancy kit. Yup, you read that right. I, a supposed “smart girl,” am period-less, and while I was 99% sure that I was not carrying Baby Samurai, the little voice in the back of my head wouldn’t shut up about “accidents happening.” So I peed on the damn stick, and thank whatever gods you wish, because I’m not pregnant! And The Samurai are going to have a nice long talk when I get back, because I’m not doing this again.
Good: Resolved not to make any New Years Resolutions, as they more for show and bragging rights and are almost never followed past February. This, I believe is one Resolution I can stick to.
Bad: Having to explain to people why I have no New Years Resolutions. More of an annoyance than anything else, really.
Good: Spending time with the family.
Bad: Not being able to remember more things to write about.
