And so it ends.

Survived. It was a crazy hectic trip to Arkansas but it’s done and I’m home and it’s cold outside and the cats are laying on me and a fire is in the fireplace and I’ve been snacking like I
m a size five. Great Day!!! I’ve snuggled in for dual eps of my fave 90210. All is right with the world. Finally.

I am more relieved than anything about getting this holiday over with. I know I was a funhater to my family. I slept a lot. But frankly dear readers, I wasn’t happy. I know that the relationship with Ex-Him was deeply flawed but the one thing we did well was Christmas. Decorations and family and presents and mimosas and brunch inn the morning and naps in the afternoon…it was the family I always wanted. Mine. And looking back I know it was dysfunctional but whatever. It was hard this year. I’m glad it’s over. I feel like I owe my family another visit. I want to go back in a few weeks and hang out without the stress hanging over me of Dad and all that drama.

I have to say Wonderboy was hysterical. everything he unwrapped he said “well I can mark that off my list!” unless he unwrapped a box and proclaimed it to be clothes! He had a good haul this year. I got him some nerf guns so we were at war. He kept hitting my boobs with the little velcro bullets. That’s a visual, eh?

Went up to the bar last night with Mgirl. It was good to just have a drink and relax. Coming home was great the cats were all very happy to have me home. My bed felt awesome and I woke up with livestock all over the bed! good stuff.

I go back to work tomorrow but as of Saturday at 5pm am off work until next Thursday. Huzzuah!!! Chrome is home and am planning to get with her on Saturday night for some face time. I think we’re going to list out our 08 mantras, themes and neuroses!! Mine is I’m gonna date in 2008!!! (please. dear. god. )

What’s going on with you? How was your holiday? Did you come out of it relatively unscathed or do you have a few battle scars? Hopefully healing if yes. Hang tight folks This bitch of a year is almost over. There’s a lot to love about that. there’s a lot to love about George Clooney too!
