Christmas 2004
Wow... so its been over two months since my last post... crazy. I wish I could say that my lack of blogging was due to the fact that I won the lottery and have been traveling the globe - or that I met someone that essentially made time stop - or that I made peace with my inner-demons so that I no longer needed to vent on-line... but alas, none of those things happened. I just didn't have the urge to write... logged on a few times - but just didn't feel it. Apparently tonight I felt it. huh...Christmas was nice... parents are down-under for two months, so my family Christmas was on the 17th... good night, lots of love and laughter. Which always makes for a nice time. On the actual Christmas Eve I had the Little Man... had a wonderful night with him. Just the two of us - we went out for a nice dinner, then drove to Peacock Lane (local holiday attraction - a street in SE PDX that every single house lights up like the Griswold's for the month of December.) Little Man had never seen it - and I loved that I was able to introduce him to it this year. We drove it first - then parked and walked it a second time. It was a great night - cold, but dry. Then we came home and baked two dozen chocolate chip cookies - put six out for Santa, carrots for each reindeer and of course the obligatory glass of milk. I went to sleep for a few hours - then woke up around 2am to sneak downstairs and put all of the Santa presents out. My brother came over Christmas morning - and we woke up Little Man and then we each video-taped him opening his presents. I then made breakfast for all of us while they went outside to play with some of the Wee's presents. All in all it was a great Christmas. I really didn't feel sad at all... until the Little's Dad arrived to pick him up. It was just odd... I felt like I was on some tv movie or something... he gave me a Christmas gift on behalf of Little Man. I kind of expected it cause he had asked me a few times what I wanted... but I figured it would be something like a candle or picture of the Wee or something... but it was a pedicure gift set. Just felt weird... that is the kind of stuff he used to buy me for Stocking stuffers when we were still together... I love to get pedicures - either salon or do them myself - so he always gave me little things in my stocking for that stuff. I don't know... it just felt weird. Anyway, after he & the Wee left I had a good cry and then took a nap. (Have I ever mentioned before how much I love naps?? Don't take them enough anymore...) anyway - that night my brother & his wife came over, we played monopoly - drank lots of champagne, wine & beer and had a nice turkey dinner.
All in all it was a nice Christmas... I hope that yours was, as well. If I don't write before New Year's Eve... be safe & have fun!
