~12-26-04~ Merry Christmas!

i hope you all had a merry christmas, or whatever you celebrate. i hope you all were safe and happy!

boy, it has been a while since i've been here!! i finished my playstation game. i still have some stuff that i can get on and do, but that is just like doing the whole game over again, and i have a low tolerance for repeat anything. so i'm pretty much over that game already. so i am back!

now i am sitting here catching up on my soaps. i just watched like over a week of soaps!!

in other news, i have also been busting my butt on my desktop computer, trying to undo whatever the fuck bob did to it. he says it wasn't him, but i know i don't download or install anything with extra bullshit in it, and my computer was INFESTED!!!!!

i would just turn it on, not even get on the internet and i would have at least 10 pop up windows! and i even have a pop up blocker! i have run my adaware, and i have norton on, but i still had a ton of stuff on my computer. i think that we almost have it all solved.

i found this great site! and it is free!!!! they accept donations, and i will surely be giving them one once this is all solved. they have been great! they are quick to respond, and they actually speak english, so you can understand what to do. i really suggest if you have any problems or questions you check them out.

that also has been taking up my time, so hopefully that is through as well.

my get together with bob's family went well. the goose turned out ok. it was kind of tough, but good taste. everything else turned out ok too. i was too exhausted to enjoy any of it though. i was on my feet ALL day! i was beat! the only good thing about that, was that i learned for my family party the following week.

i made most of the stuff the day before. i only left the turkey and potatoes for that day. all the food that day turned out great too! not everyone i wanted to come came, but it was nice having everyone at my house. clay got to run around and do his thing, and i didn't have to worry about him getting into other peoples stuff.

it was so freaking cold here!! my party was on christmas eve. well the day before we had a horrible ice storm!!!! we woke up to NO ELECTRICITY!!!!! which meant no heat! it was freezing!! thankfully we had a bunch of running to do. that made us get up and get our butt moving so we could go where there was heat. thankfully it was on before we came home. i say thankfully cause there were still people without electricity for like 2 days after that!! i really felt for them, i don't know what we would have done!!!

lowe's is on my LAST nerve. they were already almost there, and that day they hit it! i went to pick up the christmas lights that i ordered there online a while back. last sunday someone from there called to see how my order was, i told her i didn't pick it up yet. she said she had to make sure they still had them, and she would go hold them back ( i don't know why they weren't already held back since i already paid for them), and she would call if they were out. she never called.

anyways we get to lowe's and noone can find my order. we stood there for i swear at least an hour. they supposedly checked a few times, then she said they can't find them, and that i placed the order almost a month ago. well, so the fuck what?! i don't care if i ordered them 6 months ago. i paid for the damn things, so they should be there!!! so we asked for a manager, which took about another half hour for him to show up and tell us they couldn't find them. so i was WAY pissed! he showed us what he had left, and i got 4 boxes of those, they were on sale for 75% off. so i got them for like $1.50 a box. which i was paying online anyways, but they didn't have the bigger lights i wanted. so we had to go to walmart. that was a NIGHTMARE!!!!

i found some lights i wanted and went to get in line, we were about 50 people back (NO JOKING). i was getting more and more pissed at lowe's. there was no way i could have stayed sane in that line. so we went to target. they were freaking expensive, i don't know how anyone shops there. BUT there lines were great! we check out in no time. then i look at my receipt and the girl totally screwed up, so half my lights i got for only $3.99, and they should have been $5.99 and $6.99. i don't even think she charged me for one box. so good for me!

anyways, i love the lights from lowe's. they are actually motion lights. i bought some at target and that is what i paid $3.99 (and that was a mistake) and i got them at lowe's for $1.50!!!! you know i wanted to take my ass back there today to get more, but i know bob would have killed me.

so the night before christmas eve, bob and i both fell asleep, so we didn't get the tree up, we did it on christmas eve. it looks good. like i knew, clay will not leave the bulbs on the damn thing!!

clay made out like a bandit. i just recently cleaned and found places for all his stuff, now he has all new stuff, and now have to find room for all that!!! AGH!!!!!

i got the vacuum sealer thing i wanted, and i (bob) also got a dvd surround sound thing. bob will be getting his tires whenever we get out and get them. i also got him some jammies, gloves and winter hat. i got a lot of other nice stuff as well. and everyone enjoyed there gifts, so all was well!

to make a long story somewhat short, the holiday turned out good! good food, good family!

tomorrow i turn the big 32! which is good i guess, cause the other day i told the woman at walmart i was 32, and that was after hesitation, so i could think. how sad is it when you don't know your own age!!!!

i'm sort of out of things to talk about, at least things you all would want to read about.

i'll post christmas pictures soon! take care!
