daughter, girlfriend, cowgirl!

Thanksgiving was a blast. I was able to go to my house with my family (bad brother who didnt show up and his wife.. grrrr) and we ate and talked and ate some more. That was a fun afternoon. Then, D and I went back to the dorms with the others and we hung around and talked. Friday morning, we went shopping real quick - I got some good deals on presents (altho mom went shopping and got herself what i bought for her christmas present :P) and then we headed for D's parent's house.

There, we made food like crazy. She had a basket with all the different things we could do to get ready for dinner and as you finished one, you started another. We were able to get dinner done by about 2pm and had a lot of fun in the meantime. I made another pie and cranberries (love them like that - the fresh kind) and then helped decorate the table. We ate and enjoyed the desert and then played cards all night. Then we watched movies....

/side rant inc!

I hated the christmas movie.. The Polar Express. That was creepy, boring and just plain ugly. I was bored about twenty minutes into it and slowly became disturbed by some of the creepy elements and the animations - made everything feel like a plastic sheet covered everyones faces and smoothed out too much and was undead... so to speak. Never will watch that again! Ever.

... we watched movies and then went to bed late. The next day, Saturday, we made yet another big meal with chicken rice soup and some leftover turkey dinner makings and then went tramping all over their land and forest to find the perfect christmas tree for their friends. The first one we saw actually turned out to be the best one, so after walking about and crunching through snow for an hour, we came back and cut it down. Bingo, their dog, was hilarious and wanted to pee on every branch we passed and flounced through all the snowy caps. I got whipped by one too many bare branches but had a fun time throwing snow at D. We then played cards some more, ate a bit more and then watched a bit 'o TV. I went to bed at 11pm and got up at 11am hehe. Don't know.. maybe it was the long walk... but i was enjoying the long sleep.
When we were sitting in the living room we all of a sudden noticed a bunch of their cows meandering across the road. We threw on our outside clothes and ran out there. Some in a truck ended up herding them back our way, I took a corner and made them turn left and then D made them turn into the fence on their right. It was awesome - id never seen anthing like that before.

Then we ate lunch and headed home, drove slow on account of the ice and then ended up at my moms house - she ordered take out and we set up her christmas tree. I had to work so we left and now ive been sitting here since six pm. Gah - working on my paperwork for my PHD applications. I'm surprised they dont want a pint of blood and my genealogy to make sure i will be admitted. /sigh And two want the subject GRE and another doesn't have the program I need... so basically 2 seem to be it...

what am I gonna do???!

hmm 400th post! hehe whoot?

OH, BTW, happy 400th post to Aspen too!

Craziness subsided and not so insane atm. I was so frustrated earlier that all I could do was make you a nice picture to show what my mind looked like at that moment.

Everything better now.

I cleaned my room from top to bottom... except my closets and under bed - but those would take an extra hour. I turned on my Christmas music on Launch and instantly felt better as I opened my windows wide and started putting things away and organizing again. I actually have a desk counter!

I missed eating lunch with my friends - but I ended up going up to DE's office and we talked about my thesis and what I needed to add. Sorry guys!

I then stopped at the Student Affairs office and was basically told that they didn't usually get a Literature test packet and wouldn't have a fair chance of getting to take the test. /sigh

GRRRR
