Vortexia's Secret

hope everyone had a good christmas. i did for the most part, and was very glad that i only had to sit in a car for maybe an hour total. i did get a headache and had to take a nap on santa's lap... just kidding, mayhem's lap, for a little while at his parents' house. i meant to get up in about 5 minutes and help his mom with the christmas dinner, but i was gone. thankfully she understood and didn't seem to care. everybody asked about my trip and i realized i had nothing substantial to discuss. lots of driving. cold weather. some snow, some ice. cramped car. the end. oh well. at least i was home for christmas with that craziness behind me.

i got fun gifts. mayhem gave me more chenille pillows and a fun DVD set. he also confirmed that the laptop has to get serviced... again. not fun. i got a laptop case, and fun gifts from the beer. you may see a couple results of one of the gifts posted here. there are all kinds of fun ideas running through mayhem's and my heads. and i think the beer's brother is officially very intrigued by our cryptic comments about the gift. too bad, he'll just have to wonder.

with the possibility of losing my house and the closeness of my family, i am learning about all the other families i have in the area who are willing to help me should i need it. i could live with mayhem's parents... wouldn't that give me something to talk about here on the blog! the beer's family would also help out. my relatives are now pushing for me to live near them or with them. oh well... i don't want to think about this mess right now. i think a few people helped to put a little doubt in my parents' minds at least. i hope it takes root and ends up discouraging the move.

ok, well that's enough for now. i feel like i need to get a good subject to get back in the groove. or maybe i need to pull out the writings from the trip. at any rate, hope you had a good christmas and are either enjoying a relaxing day at home avoiding the after christmas shopping madness or are enjoying the after-christmas-shopping deals and that they more than make up for the crowds. much love!
