something pretty

hey everyone… Well… it’s Christmas.  You know, I like the Christmas season… just not Christmas Day… Why?  I don’t know, it’s just always seems to be a bit of a let down.  I know I probably sound totally selfish.  I can rant more later.. I have positive news to share!!!

 

This morning started off very good because I stepped on the scale and was 194.0 ….  I have lost 40 pounds.  I was super duper happy.  So there is my happy bit.  But opening presents today was a bit disappointing.  This year, since there is seven kids in my family, we drew names for eachother. My seventeen year old bro had me and got my a coffeemaker.  Great! Thanks, you shouldn’t have!  Well… sure it’s practical.. I just wanted something pretty.  My mom and dad really surprised me for grad with the Mac Book Pro… (which I am using to type this post)… so I shouldn’t complain about my lack of gifts.  I got some slippers which i like.. and two books.  (I love books.. and they look interesting.)  Most Christmases though, we get a big thing.  Which i missed.  again.. I wanted something pretty.  Like a nice necklace that my mom would pick out or something.  I really am almost in tears…  Need to snap out of it, as we are heading to our Christmas dinner.. oh well, she spoiled me last year.
