Christmas Games

♪ Christmas is Over my brother's gotten fat! Please donate a gym pass for our new diet. ♪

I know, it's terrible. But that's what my mom and I were singing while walking out of the store. Hahaha. And I'm tired today because I was up late playing a game with my family. The day after Thanksgiving I went to my dad's store (where I got awesome Black Friday discounts and employee discounts!) and decided I was going to buy some games that my family would like now that we're adults. We seem to have grown out of Candyland now that our youngest person is turning 17. At least we have Apples to Apples and Hilarium which we all love. But I got Lizzie Imagine If for Christmas since she really wanted it, and I got mom The Game of Things as a family gift. We played both last night and Things is one of our new favorite games!! Being wacky people it made this game really entertaining as it pulled out the most outrageous responses from us! Apparently Becki and I both fantasize about chocolate baths with Hugh Jackman... Anyway it's a game I highly encourage for people.

The rest of  Christmas was great too. I was finally getting over my first cold of the season, so I felt great. Lizzie was home more too since her boyfriend left for California to visit his mom. I understood that she missed him, but we miss seeing her and dang it, we claim Lizzie for Christmas! Lol. And I got to visit my dad's side of the family when we went to my Grandpa's house. Now that I realize he's the age of my other grandparents when they died, I'm even more grateful for every year he's still around and for when I can go see him. I also enjoyed eating all the food we had! At our house we made a Virgina Ham. I know you don't understand so I'll tell you what it is. It's basically a ham that has been dried and preserved. This way you actually get more meat for your buck since you don't pay for all the water an juices. But it comes covered in mold, and I'm glad I didn't see it out of the package until mom had cleaned it up! After it soaked in water and then apple juice while it cooked I definitely made up my mind that this is how a ham should be. After we glazed it (with a homemade glaze) I thought I'd die and go to heaven. Oh my scrumptious!

By the way, I finally got through this last semester of school. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it'd be. So far most of my grades are B's, but that's still totally acceptable for me. When you only write 3 papers for a class and you almost bomb the first one, and pick it up for the next two, you can't really expect an A. BUT I have had my own Christmas Miracle in the form of a B- for Russian!! I honestly thought I was going to fail this class even after all the hard work I had been putting into it. So it looks like that work pulled off!! Hopefully tomorrow I'll find out if I get an A in my History and Fiction class. Last time I posted 10 pages on my blog from the story and now it's 35 pages long after major editing. So if you want to read it I included the hyperlink to the pdf version. PLEASE don't redistribute this in any form. But since I only have 13 people following this blog, I'm not really that worried. I just thought I should say it in case. I think the story is good and very entertaining, so have at it!

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my  birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
