was awesome! I wasn't bummed about not going home, but I was bummed not seeing my parents. When I can get time off next year I plan on seeing them. Maybe summer time :)
<----See that ketchup shirt? I pretty much made that my "pajama" shirt and wore it saturday and sunday as well. I showered and stuff daily, I just wore the same clothes.
Call me weird if you like but it's okay to do that because they were "pajamas".
Anyways, back to Christmas. As you can see from this picture...I did not starve! Deserae spent the whole morning making food and preparing for me and Ken. Chris...I don't know what he did. He'll probably say, "Whatever, I helped...I put ice in the cups." That's usually the extent of his cooking prowess. :D But I thank them both so much for inviting me over.
Chris and Des are the type of friends you always wish to have, but you never knew you wanted these types of friends until you meet them. They are amazing! Thank you extra much Deserae for getting up so early and cooking lots and lots and lots of DELICIOUS food.
Chris...Thank you soooooo much for marrying the love of your life!
I spent Christmas there. Ken made the biscuits and mashed potatoes, just how I like them, I might add. I baked brownies. And they burnt...So yeah, I contributed nothing to the mix but that's what friends are for, right?
After eating, we played scene it...80's version. It was fun, even though Chris and I lost both times. I learned that I know nothing about 80's culture (except The Princess Bride) But that doesn't help when Des is faster at shouting out movies than I am. :)
Oh! And they got both Ken and I gifts. I felt really loved on that day.
Also, I felt really loved on Christmas Eve. So, I have a spare tire on my car and didn't want to drive, so I coudn't go over to the Bryant's house. I tried to phone them, and Basil to hitch a ride, but they missed my call and Basil doesn't answer his phone.
So, they call me back and go all the way across town just to pick me up and take me to their place so we can watch a movie. There was a few of us there and the girls had each decorated a stocking for us and wrote our name on it and glittered it all up! I loved it. They made a glitter-bear and put glasses on mine :D It's the little touch of detail that brings it all about.
Oh-They got me a very nice looking tie to go with my suits and I like dressing up, so there's another detail they paid attention to.
So, I had two days of fun, spent a moderate amount of time at each one, AND I got to spend lots of time secluded and to myself reading, playing games, and breaking in my converted pj's.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
