Listening to: Kelly Clarkson - Hear Me
Christmas Eve service at church was great. I got teary as usual during the carol sing. Especially when my mom stopped to hug baby Lana's mom because Lana has survived another Christmas. Um...let's see. After that, we went to some family friends' house for a BBQ dinner with all the good stuff. And then we were caroling. Dude, caroling in four-part harmony is the best kind of caroling. Even if it was unbalanced...3 sopranos, 1 alto, 2 tenors, and 3 basses. Hahaha. Anyway, home and then PRESENTS! I got Harry Potter 5 in Spanish, Harry Potter 3 in English (paperback--the collection is officially complete!), Shrek 2 on DVD, and gift cards to Belks and Dillards. Had a nice conversation with Justin. I miss that fool. Then I went to bed.
Christmas morning was nice. It wasn't very formal, everybody just got up and looked at their stuff when they felt like it. I got an mp3 player (eeee!), cables for my digital camera so I can take pictures and upload them. I sort of lost my desire to take pictures when the USB cord broke last time. I will be taking much better care of this one. Got some cute PJ pants, a JumpDrive, and some little odds and ends. Oh, and an ass of batteries.
Anyway, we went to my great-aunt Louise's house for lunch. That always makes me miss my grandmother because she and her sisters look and act so much alike. Called Kayleigh to tell her Merry Christmas. I miss her too.
Bought hair dye (I can't use it yet because my parents don't want me to be "discussed" on this trip) and hung out with Kim and James for a little while. They're freakin' getting married in August.
Winston-Salem today. Mrg. It's very icy and cold outside and while I don't want to go, I DO want to go. I don't know why. I think I just want to have a road trip. Whatever. It didn't show. I was right and the weathermen were wrong.
