Well...the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over, part of me is sad as usual that it came and went so fast but the other part of me is relieved because it's always such a hectic time of year leading up to it and the day of...all the shopping and running around leaves you exhausted...as I'm sure we all know the feeling well. This Christmas was a bit less crazy then last year at least. Me and my fiance (well boyfriend at the time), moved in together 2 weeks before Christmas last year...probably not the best choice of times. Needless to say my Mom was not enthused with my timing being that I'm her only child and at the time had spent 25 Christmas's with her...leaving so close to Christmas pulled on her heart strings more then I thought...didn't give her much preparation for her first Christmas without me...and the guilt I felt made it difficult to keep the holiday spirit alive...I never had intentions of hurting her, and then of course trying to shop and live out of boxes and decorate a house (we got as far as a tree)...so I'm happy to report this year everyone (especially my mom), was back to their original selves and I really enjoyed a wonderful holiday with my fiance, his family and my family...it was our first and last (lol) Christmas spent together engaged which is sort of bittersweet...we'll be married by next Christmas. We throuroughly enjoyed it though...the house was decorated complete with outside lights, we had a cozy Christmas Eve dinner at a local byob which led to a few drinks at our favorite local bar before heading home to cozy up with each other and some music...right into Christmas morning where we slowwwllllly unwrapped gifts...it took us 3 hours to get through them...lol...and then met up with my family a bit later for Christmas dinner. And now here I sit waiting for the last 1/2 hour of work to go by...I can officially say I've gotten paid for doing NOTHING today...feels like everyone but me is out this week...lol.
Well...1 more day before we leave for vacation in Key West though...that is what got me through today and will have to get me through tomorrow...
