Thank Heavens it's over!!!
So, I'm thinking that it is time for a good long nap.
Christmas is over, now we have New Years Eve in a week and then the very next week is my birthday, ugh!! I use to consider myself rather important because my birthday falls in this holiday succession, now I know I'm just a contributor to the mayhem. No hate mail, please!!
As for Christmas, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The one major problem that I have with Alex's family is that they are very dry. They don't laugh, they don't joke, they don't even seem to want to have fun. At Thanksgiving in North Carolina, we laughed a lot and that memory is very fond one for me now. This Christmas will just pass by, most likely forgotten by next week. I really wish they would change a bit. I know I have no right to think that, but this Christmas was really no different then the one they had last year. I suppose I should think about it economically. When asked what their Christmas was like, they don't have to remember a specific Christmas because they are just all the same.
While I know that Christmas is over, I still feel like I have things to do. I have been making gifts for the past two months. Every weekend crocheting something to be a gift for someone. Then suddenly there is nothing that HAS to be done. I'm lost. Can't seem to get the stress to wind down. And I am thinking about my Birthday too. Birthday's stopped being easy for me when I turn 30. This January the 8th, I will be 39. Forty is banging very loudly at my door. Honestly, I always hoped I'd be dead by forty. Lately, I've come to reconsider that notion, and am now considering 50 to be just too damn old. Got to be gone by then, rrrrr, maybe sixty, but definitely by sixty!!
I hope you all have a very Happy and Blessed New Year!!!
Blessed Be!!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!
Well it is Christmas time again!!!I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I ate really good food, laughed and talked with family. I did not get to meet my niece though. I had hopes of doing this, but my brother, the police officer was working the whole time. So I am a little upset about that. But I did get to visit with Fran and Mary. It's taken me this long to get thru with withdraw. I got a lot of crocheting done also. I have now finished Tammy's, Sierra's, and Hannah's hat, scarf and mitten set. I made Rex's afgan and another afgan for Adam. I made the two afgans that weekend. They look really good too. I think I might make myself one after Christmas. Now I have to finish Sara's set and something for Naomi, and I will be done with Alex's family, YeaHHHHHHH!!
Lately I have been looking for doll patterns to crochet. I want to make my own designs for characters from some of my favorite books. I really want to do a Harry Potter doll. I have seen patterns for him, but none of them have green eyes. I do not understand how these people can say that they just love Harry Potter, then design a doll that doesn't even have green eyes. Read the books people!!! It is not Harry, if he doesn't have green eyes. I did find a really cute pattern for a snitch. Now that designer has talent. It has wings and everything. I can't wait to make it. It will make a great gift for Mary!!!
Now I have to shop for Mary and Fran. I have to do that next week, because I have already spent this weeks check on bills. I know what Fran wants, but I am playing the devil finding it. Mary, I don't have clue. But I am playing with a few Ideas!! The traffic here in Charleston is just getting Stupider this time of year!!! Idiots, idiots everywhere, oh my!! Stopping in the middle of the road to talk to the car next to them, or just to look at a car going the other way. Inconsiderate stupid people!!! Yesterday, some cow with fake red hair and a lot tattoos, cuts me off going into a restaurant. I am on my lunch break, just wanted to order one little sandwich, I mean, I don't have a lot of money, so I just wanted one little sandwich. The cow, cuts in front of me, places an order for about 10 people. I just left. Stupid inconsiderate people!!! I really don't know when these idiots are going to learn, but I hope the selfish cow choked on her sandwiches!!! This town is just so stupid. The people are selfish and inconsiderate. I mean these people that stop in the middle of the road, they don't not take the people sitting behind into any consideration. Those people just want to go home, or to where ever they may be heading, but oh-no, the idiot has to stop in the road for nothing. If anyone out there is considering moving to Charleston, South Carolina, save yourself the trouble and move to someplace less stupid. Maybe Iraq.
Happy Yule Tidings to you and yours!!!!!
