Christmas break was awesome! Most of it anyway...
The first two weeks I spent here in Statesboro ALONE!!! And I'm such a chicken shit because I was scared out of mind the first few nights and then only mellowed out 40% for the rest of it. Watching scary movies and then being alone in a big house with the rest of the street deserted for two weeks is never a good idea!
As soon as I left the 'boro I had a short lived rejoicing moment only to get home at 11 and find out that my mother has scheduled me for an 8AM appointment at the dentist. Now I hate 8AM, but I depise the dentist with a passion, so needless to say I was a bit irritated.
I got to Marietta on Thursday night, went to the dentist on Friday, and they we left for New Jersey on Friday night around 8PM. Dad started off the drive and drove until about 10:30, then mom picked up and drove until 12:30, and then I pciked up and took the rough shift and drove us through the night until 8:30 Saturday (Christmas Eve) morning. I was wide awake the entire time and I have no clue why. So weird.
We got to NJ around 11 on Christmas Eve, got settled and were out the door again before we knew it. We went to mass and an adorable kids Christmas pageant. Then we had the most amazing dinner thanks to my Nonnie and Poppop (mom's parents). We spent Christmas day with my dad's side of the family, which was awesome. They drink normally, while my mom's family doesn't seem to drink at all! I got to see my cousins which was cool.
On Thursday Tim, my 9-year-old cousin Ryan, my Aunt Linda and I all went int o New York City. Wew did all of the cheesy tourist stuff, becaue it had been so long since I had had fun in the city and I missed it and wanted to see what changed...blah, blah, blah. We ate lunch at an Irish Pub on 7th ave. And of course Tim just turned 21., so he feels like such a bad ass because he can order a beer, so he does, and doesn;t even get carded...it was funny.
Anyway, gotta run to work...more later! PEACE |
