December 31st, 2006 - "happy 2007"

man i need to blog. it's been over a week now i think.

it's been busy around here, what with the holidays and all.
christmas eve was tolerable. we spent some time at nan's with my mom's side of the family. the whole family - minus one uncle and one cousin. that totals 12 grandchildren alone, counting me. keegan and i drank 2 bottles of wine in like... 2 hours. i cashed in on a nice new Nine West wallet (i know what you're thinking, so not me - and you're right), $60 total to Uno's, $25 to Dunkin Donuts, and a total of $140 cash.


from nan's we went on to aunt chrissy's in mansfield. we took lauren and her boyfriend tom up with us. at that family gathering i cashed in on a total of $160... love that my birthday was only a month ago, so i get double the dollars. our christmas eve was splendid. we opened our stockings as we always do... and i had already given him 2 presents... one the day before, and one that day. the one i gave him the day before was just the inside deep throat dvd, and i thought we'd watch it - which we still haven't done.
the present i gave him on christmas eve was, i believe, the clerks 2 dvd - because he had gotten fired from the movie theater that morning, and he was upset. long story, ask HIM about it.


we opened stockings that night after midnight... so it technically was christmas. he had also let me open one present the day before, and it was an awesome new slide with a frog on it. you can find a picture of it in the Good Times <3 folder in my Yahoo! photos. i also got a much needed bottle of 420 cleaner. if you do see the slide picture, it was already cleaned once before we took the picture. we have to clean things a lot around here.so for the first time in years... i could not sleep on christmas morning. i was up at like, 7am. i forced myself back to sleep because there was no way keegan was getting up. i managed to get back to sleep till about 9:20am, then i woke him up - dying to unwrap. i got a sick ass Canon A540 PowerShot camera with a 2GB chip, a camera bag, and a SanDisk USB thing to load the pics on the computer. would you believe i already lost the manual and everything else that i needed for the camera? i'm a winner. i also got the newest satellite radio... and another year subscription of Sirius. the satellite radio is also an mp3 player that detaches from the car and you can plug headphones in it and shit. or get a home docking station. you can also record mp3's off Sirius, and save them. it holds 50 hours of mp3's... so i may consider selling my ipod if times get tough. i ALSO got a Senseo gourmet coffee machine, blue. it is so fucking amazing. i drink more coffee now than i should - and you all know how much coffee i normally drink. it's got so much flavor and taste that you barely need sweetner... and it comes out light, rather than a dark brew (depending on what kind you get i guess) so it doesn't require too much cream either. the best part is that the coffee is done within seconds. come over and have some. seriously. he also got me a beautiful skirt, a canvas and some paints, burnable cd's that look like records... etc. so thoughtful. his christmas was kinda lame. he didn't want anything major so i ended up buying him clerks 2, inside deep throat, little miss sunshine, thank you for smoking, a cordless drill, a hand mixer, the game of life, a plain red hoodie (that he LOVES), a new Norelco shaver, the Sims 2, a back massager.. .and that sort of shit. i still managed to go way over budget. ah, well.the day after christmas we went up to sara and dan's house for an after christmas get together. she got me this awesome "coffee table book" since she knows how much i love looking at those books at her mom's house. it's the billboard music book... from like the 1940s, to now. she also got me a marble coaster set where you like paint your photos on to get them to stick. also, a skirt, believe it or not lol. brenda, keegan and sara's kind-of-aunt gave me a wallet too. her wallet was better, and so much more my style, so i ditched the velcro sublime wallet and upgraded to a more mature look. however, i AM keeping the faithful sublime.

keegan and i have been bumming around the house for days now. i worked 2 half days from home this week - he had a week off from the lab - and obviously, the movie theater. we've done a lot of nothing. he's played the sims a lot. and i have drank a lot of coffee. i cleaned some of my pieces yesterday. i play with my camera. he just went out and scored some sony reel to reel thing that some guy had up on craigslist for free. he is hoping to get $150-250 outta that thing on ebay. he shouldn't have too much of a problem. we're thinking maybe he'll just work at the lab and sell shit on ebay. jim had him come into the store and work for 4.5 hours organizing the back room on friday. he might need him to do more shit like that here and there. it'll all work out.

law and order: svu marathon is on today. exactly how i wanna spend my new year's eve. haha. just kidding. i have already seen all of these i am pretty sure. decidedly, at least me, tara, keegan, and erin o are going to the Black Sheep Bah & Grille tonight. papa wetherbee got a permit to stay open till 2am. the only thing i worry about is the driving thing. keegan says he'll drive but maybe we'll look into taking a cab, who knows.

i am gonna start saving up for a volcano vaporizer. i don't need the huge one, i just need one in general. if i get one, i will quit smoking butts. that way, it'll be like no smoke enters my lungs. amazing. i literally just paused to look at them. the absolute cheapest you can get one on ebay for is $400 as a buy it now. i gotta do it, at some point. however tomorrow does mark day 1 of teaching myself how to manage and save my money. hah. however, i think that getting healthier should not count as an expense, you know? muah.

i can't believe 2007 is tonight. this is fucking wild. we are getting so old. i have to start planning my wedding this year. for real. holy shit.

i have gotten into reisling wine so hard lately it's kind of unbelievable. so many different kids, they all taste so different. i got an amazing kind on the way to zoe's the other night... but it turned out to be way sugary. almost made me sick after drinking the whole bottle. so i went for the other bottle... and that was much too tart. so eh, whatta ya gonna do? i don't know what i'm gonna drink tonight. i think i wanna get started kinda late, drink hard alcohol, get drunk without puking, and call it a night between 1 and 2. it's like a real adult New Year's Eve this year, woah.

alright, i am gonna get back to my SVU marathon right now. happy new year friends.
