Hello 2013.....

Goodbye 2012.

You weren't a bad year..but you weren't that hot either....lol..

I'm hopeful for 2013 as i am for each new year..i don't know why..lol....Not making new year resolutions because i can never keep them...so i'm not making any...

Staying home tonight...bad weather...bad roads and FOG...soooo not good for driving in at 2am with light snow possibly,getting stranded on the highway, and dodging drunken drivers....WITH NOBODY TO FIND/HELP ME AT 2am.....not worth it...all that mess...getting stranded/killed...no thanks!...

love being with my friends and celebrating,but just not into all the New Years Eve hype.....it's overrated and bleh...besides i'd be miserable and sleepy.

In a bad mood because i feel like crap....yep....i've got that flu like everyone else around here..coughing/chills/hurt all over.....guess things worked out like they were supposed to..

going to take theraflu,go to sleep,and see you in 2013.

Yay for being sick on New Years Eve! ;(

xoxo

winter has arrived.....

I got my wish.....It SNOWED!!!...

Haha..i guess if you wish hard enough sometimes you get your way...too bad that's not all the time.

Christmas was just meh....it was ok...but of course i didn't get to see my Dad or any of the other family members that are gone working..miss them terribly!!!..hated that...a hug from Dad would be worth a bazillion presents!....but oh well...hopefully my gifts warmed their hearts and made them smile...

AND considering the gifts were things that could actually keep them warm...i'm hoping they came in handy in this snowy icy cold weather....i'm so awesome....lol...easiest gifts i ever thought of, actually ended up being useful this time of year..socks,gloves,blankets,shirts....and candy.

the other half of Christmas got cancelled due to a blizzard...soooooo saturday we are having another small Christmas lunch...sandwichy type lunch...

The gifts i got from family and friends were mainly necklaces and gift cards......i've got a lot of online shopping i'm praying i get to do soon....i want new jeans,snow boots,tops, rhinestone headbands and a new purse/wallet....ya know clothing related items.

i've got to start planning ahead in time for my spring trip to new mexico...sure it's not til march..but i'm going to go ahead and be buying things for it the next couple of months...super excited about that!....it's been FOREVER since i have had a vacation and i am in dire need of a getaway...NOW!...lol...

we spent most of Christmas dinner talking about the upcoming vacation and looking at family pictures from other vacations which got me totally excited and looking forward to the trip....I think i will look at it as a meditational/spiritual getaway for me...mountains have that spiritual effect on people i think...just silence and beautiful views from high above.....peaceful.

anyway gotta go....have to get a few things from town in case we have that snow/freezing rain in a few days they are expecting for our local weather.

Christmas eve 2012....

Has to be my favorite Christmas instrumental...beautiful.

Well....here we are....finally made it to Christmas eve.....Dinner today at noon at Grandparents & later at Auntie's house tonight....Cowboy Christmas you know....dinner is BBQ and mesquite smoke...lol.

Excited for today but kinda bummed that i'm not going to get to see everyone in my family..really a let down...but i expected that considering all that is going on....So i will try to make the best of it all and have a good Christmas eve...

I made a strawberry homemade cheesecake,pecan pie,pumpkin pie---to take to all these family gatherings as the desserts...AND i'm contributing potato salad to the BBQ dinner....lol..hope it's good! i like it with plenty of mustard...

We may not get to have Christmas tomorrow anywhere because supposedly there is a pretty good chance we may have a ton of snow....Yes SNOW!....i think maybe everyone around here is excited about that possibility....i like to watch it fall and besides it makes it feel more like Christmas....kinda takes your mind off the fact that you miss your family that can't be here so much....helps me anyway..........and it could keep the annoying snobby relatives from being able to travel to here!...LOL...Yay!...

still rather upset about how that one "supposed friend" acted this weekend...like a spoiled, uncaring bratty.selfish,cold,adult......really hurts she acted that way to everyone...we all wish we had NEVER invited her down, or even saw her, or even exchanged Christmas gifts with her!....she didn't buy anyone else a gift, but she got one from everyone then acted like it was nothing to her..i mean seriously?!....it was pretty much she was like:"Give me a gift!"....then she acted weird and left...

are there any true friends anymore?...can't believe she acted like that...oh well nothing should surprise me anymore...why should i expect anything different from her?...everyone's bratty,spoiled and cold hearted....ungrateful.....maybe today will get me out of this rather pissed off & annoyed, upset mood?

i'm just kinda tired of being so giving and kind with gifts,spending money on nice gifts for them,going out of my way to be nice and cheery to people in my life and getting nothing in return but someone expecting a hand-out..not even a thank you..it seems like some people don't appreciate anything nice you do for them...

anyhow in a bad mood..i need sleep.maybe tomorrow or tonight it will snow like crazy and make me happy....lol

merry christmas.

dust storms and cookie party....

This song is so cool.....Love them!....

pic from news

Last night a major dust storm blew into Oklahoma...we got a ton of west texas dirt in the air and everywhere...No thanks west Texas for your dust/dirt!...lol...you can keep it...

The wind blew so bad last night at times!!! i have never heard it blow that fast like that...kinda scary.....when it blew through the trees it sounded like a million screeching voices screaming...kinda spooky...This morning there are shingles blown off the roof everywhere..things blown around everywhere..Call the insurance man!!!..bet he's gonna be busy this week.

it got so freaking COLD...this morning just being out there for a few minutes in the wind still blowing a little---your fingers freeze and your bones all hurt....i'm sicker..coughing/sneezing...bad allergies...i will have to buy some Theraflu to make it through this week i suppose..it helps me....bleh..

I HATE YOU dirty cold wind!!!(you cause pneumonia!!!)

Got a few gifts finally given to family that i hardly see,but think of very often.....hope they like their gifts from me, and it makes them smile or something good....And i got my Dad's gifts to my Aunt to hopefully get it to him wherever he is working at right now...I really miss him...but i know with all the craziness going on he's working a lot....things are gonna get back to "the normal" around here..give it time....

just kinda sucks right now....doesn't even feel like Christmas-time really, with the weather being whack & warm and everyone being away working...oh well...we'll manage...Just wish i could at least see a snowflake or several for Christmas??? PLEASE?!...SNOW.

anyhow tonight is the annual Christmas Cookie Party with my friends...excited!...it's a lot of fun..decorating cookies and swapping them with friends...helps it feel like Christmas a little more maybe?

xoxo

december randomness.....

I thought this was kinda cool..watched it on tv the other night..

Ok....I give up on the "perfect Christmas gift" shopping!!!....
 
My Grandma is the toughest person to shop for!...she's sooooo picky and she'll tell me not to get her anything...then she'll say:"Oh.......well get me a tube of lipstick.".....LOL...lipstick?seriously for a Christmas gift?!that's all?...no way...i'm not getting my Grandma just a tube of lipstick for Christmas!!!....
 
So along with a tube of lipstick(that she will probably not like the color anyway)...i found her a pair of sparkly red earrings and a matching red sparkly necklace $50 total....she likes red....so *fingers crossed on that one*....until this morning she pulls a necklace out of her jewelry box (that is the same length as the one i just bought Saturday at the mall) and she goes:"This necklace here is just too long for me..i don't like them this long."......god!.....i give up on Christmas shopping 2012!..what'm i gonna do about that now?!...oh well!...she can take it back if it's too long for her...lol...yes, i know..someday i will be an old picky lady just like her...not judging her!...
 
To all the friends/family trying to spy on me shopping in town?---Bwahaha!!!...just because you don't see me buying a gift that looks like it might be for you, doesn't mean i haven't bought you one!.....LOL!.....duh!..i might have bought it ONLINE!...i'm sneaky like that!...haha!
 
have to start making more candy tomorrow to get started on my candy gift boxes i give to family&friends as part of their gifts from me...kinda excited to get this all put together and given away......gonna make ALOT of candy for friends/family...almost bought the grocery store out of marshmallow creme and chocolate chips AND pecans...pecan tree didn't come through this year because of drought...boo!
 
taking gifts to my Aunt to hopefully get them to my Dad this week...nervous about gifts getting to him!!!..i really hope he likes them...lots of clothing & etc...ya know..stay warm winter clothing....AND homemade candy.
 
this weekend i also paid for half of my upcoming spring vacation to New Mexico...room already booked for march with friends/fam...yay!...*excited*..talk about that all later blog.
 
Having random people tell you how beautiful you are on a boring downer of a day makes your day better...aww...so sweet of them to say that...but i could never see myself as beautiful...i'm too down to earth and soooooo not superficial about things to ever view myself as beautiful....i mean, i know i'm pretty but i just don't care.....but it's a very sweet comment to say and made me smile..thanks anyway though!
 
been wearing red sweaters....red nail polish.....red lipstick all this month!...Anyone around me puzzled by that---there's no artistic mystery to solve!....LOL...It's December!...hello?...Christmas....maybe it's a Christmas statement?....haven't they noticed the green holly leaves and red berries hair pin in my hair?....Christmasy all month...well...duh!....haha!...they're puzzled and there's the answer...simple.
 
yay! for the Jenn-air cook top given to me by family who didn't want it!....super sleek and cool...ready for Christmas.

nite-nite.
