Merry Christmas!!

Well, I have to say, this year was an exceptional Christmas. Not the greatest, but definitely one of the...calmest ones we've had in a long time. At least temper wise.

Tomorrow Rhonda and us girls are going shopping. I don't remember the last time I went shopping on boxing day, but I know it's been a while, so I'm kind of scared of the crowds! But hoping to get a good deal. Maybe some of the gifts I didn't get for Christmas....

I wish my father had a fucking clue how retail works when you're on the other side.


I'm tired of him being an asshole any time he doesn't get the service he thinks he deserves.

It's rarely ever reasonable, and the salesperson always gets the brunt of his anger.

So stupid.

It's Christmas!

Finally, my favorite season of the year. And I may actually have the typical warm, homey christmas that I've always wanted, because I'm pretty much celebrating 3 times. We are going to my cousin's house on Christmas Eve, and then staying home Christmas day, and then on the 27th we're going to Vegreville to see my Grandma and all my mom's side of the family.
So I will, at some point, have a family celebration and there will be presents and candle and Christmas music.
And it will be great.
If we can avoid any family fireworks. I've already been yelled at and treated like a 12 year old, and the actual holiday hasn't even hit yet. So that's awesome. Plus, since we're having Christmas here, I'm fairly sure that the stress and anger level in our household will be astronomical. Awesome eh?
Oh well. At least I have a room to run to, and I will have some new movies to watch (so i peeked under the tree, so what?)

Well, nothing exciting has happened in my life the past little while.
I came home from England. And now I feel strangely nostalgic for the time I spent there, even though I was so miserable.
I've decided that I'm going to go back next summer and tour around, maybe hit up Europe too. That means I need to get up of my big fat butt and apply to the sub list. Or you know, try and get a full time teaching job. I don't know if that'll happen though. I'll probably just try and substitute until next fall and then get a permanent job if I can. I might even try out of city, so that I have a better chance of landing one. A friend of mine said that if I wanted to get a job, apply to schools on reservations. But the closest ones are still a pretty far drive, and I'm scared of highways in the winter. We'll see.
Other than that, not too much new has happened.

Things in the friends department have been really strange too. People who I was super close to before I left just don't seem to be feeling me anymore... it's weird. It's like the moved on, and I'm still the same. I know that I was the one who left, and I in no way at all ever expected things to be exactly the same when I got back, but it's all so....weird :S. But, I'm glad that in most cases, it's like I never left. Slipping back in to those friendships went so smoothly. Why can't they all?
Oh well. I am so boring and I should stop pondering things that probably aren't that big. Plus, all my pondering just sounds like whining...I tend to overanalyze, and that just gets me into trouble...

EDIT: apparently it already has gotten me in to trouble.

Help me out here. I SUCK at friendships (remember the 3 year rule?). Apparently we feel the same way about each other. I'm terrified that you are nice to my face and complain about me to them when I'm gone.
I'm sorry.
I miss you too.
Fuck.
