Fortuitous

Perhaps it is fortuitous. This coming year seems like it will be a good year. Though, as much as I can plan for it to be a good year, there is so much that is unplanned that will be just as good. To recap on the past week: I cannot explain how amazing the holidays were. We traveled to see our families in Houston and spent most of our time there up until yesterday. The only complaint I have is that it wasn't cold enough for the season, which makes me wonder if Christmas should partake on a different day. I'm still dreaming of my white Christmas. Anywhoo! The day we arrive is the day before Christmas Eve. We spent it and the next with Chris' family.  Chris got a couple of shirts and Epic Mickey for Wii, and I got a notepad and a small purse that is kind of...unique and looks like it can barely hold anything that weighs over 2 ounces because it's so thin.  *shrugs* I really wasn't  expecting anything at all because I knew Chris was paying for my trip to France to be with him and some other people that will be working there. I can't wait! It'll be fun. For me anyway. >_> I'm bringing my baby girl ... those people better get over it because I just can't see me going anywhere without her. She's my life!! Moving on. XD Of course it was Evie that lucked out on the amount of gifts between toys, clothes, a small stroller for her to push, and a cat that acts real - scared the shit out of her Uncle! >:3

I got my husband a Nook Color and I know he really wanted an iPad but those things are so f*ing expensive! (But they are awesome...) May as well get him a new laptop, eh? XD But he loved it nonetheless. <3 That was sweet of him to say he did.  Earlier that day, Chris let me pick out a new phone because the other one I had sucked pigeon toes. Since my contract was expired, I got the new HTC HD7 Windows 7 phone.  O.......my....god... I'm in love with it. It's the best phone I've ever had. Chris thinks that it's even better than his iPhone. XDDD (I think so too and I'm a Mac person) Wow. It's just so easy to work and the screen is huge!! I can watch Netflix from anywhere and it's...just ...that ...amazing. ^___^

Then for Christmas day, we went over to my family's house and spent our time there for almost the remainder of the week. The presents I got were a huge surprise. I got the spatulas I asked for plus a whole new set of kitchen utensils, some headbands to keep my ears warm, a photo printer to print out Evie's gorgeous pictures, a necklace and earrings with Evie's birthstone, and get this...a nook color of my very own. LOL! Yeah. I love it. I'm so freakin spoiled, it's unbelievable! ^_^ My brother got a iPad and Sarah his wife got the same type of jewelry with her baby boy's birthstone.

I had thought my mother was going to buy my dad a player that could stream netflix, but turns out he was hoping my brother and I would pitch in together to get it and wouldn't let my mom tell me. (I hate tests...Just tell me damn it! Don't play games) So, I'm going to do that for my dad's b'day. I got my dad some golf gear, my mom a decorative tea pot, and my brother and his wife this beautiful glass tray that matched the painting I did for them a couple of years ago.

My birthday seemed to span over a few days. I had sushi twice because my mother wanted it. Let me repeat that. MY MOTHER WANTED SUSHI!! lmao!!!! Where did this come from because she used to hate raw fish, now I catch her saying that she wants it almost everyday!! This is the woman that used to take a bite of a roll, gag, and urp it up on the table. Now, she can't get enough! O: On my actual birthday, my parents couldn't be there because they had prior engagements to be with their friends in New Orleans for New Years. They sounded like they had a good time. So, Chris' family treated me to pizza and cake and then I saw the movie "The King's Speech." I LOVED IT! I hope it wins best picture. ^_^ Not that Black Swan crap. F*** that movie! People are praising it because it's soooo "avant garde" but to be honest it wasn't as good as I had hoped. For me, I just get uncomfortable with so much unnecessary masturbation. Believe me there were times where it was COMPLETELY unnecessary.  I think it could have been better. Mila Kunis ftw.  She was the main reason why I liked the movie. I didn't like how rough the camera shots were and sometimes they would make me sick. I think I'm getting old...times are changing and masturbation and sex in movies is like sneezing nowadays. I'm like, "Hurry and get this guy a tissue! He's about to..."

Come this year, I should be moving into a house for the summer! I'm so thrilled!!! I'm already tired of being in an apartment. Let the hunt begin. I have started my search, though it's probably too early. I'm just so excited.
