Super suprise guest at the party right now!!!!!!! COME AND GET IT!!!!

In my family as (e:paul) detests we have a few christmas celebrations. We have christmas eve with my aunt and uncle and cousins, then christmas day with just our immediate family, then a day with my dad's extended family and then a day with my mom's extended family. Today it is my mom's extended family. Anywho that is not really what this post is about. I was just thinking that I have a warped sense of what you need for a meal. Like honestly does everyone's family gatherings involve so much food? I guess they prolly do, but like it just seems so crazy how much food is involved, do people out there just have meals with like one meat and just like two sides? They must right, but i just can't imagine. I think if there isn't at least 3 pounds of food per person , it can't be enough. Like today we have I think like 12 people ocming over but my mom is making roasted chickens, liek a pot roast, clams casino, asparagus with mushrooms thing, a chick pea salad, another salad, twice baked cheesy potatoes and prolly like at least 3 other things. And she is always nervous there won't be enough, though from (e:paul)'s photos you can see there is always plenty. I think I always think the same way, like if i am having a dinner party there needs to be like 100 things, it makes it very hard to pull off (esp. since i have zero kitchen skills). So i don't know, I love that there is so much food, but is everyone's family like this?

So OMG my aunt's niece (but not my cousin) had some challenge for her elementary school to like make a difference and so she started this website in honor of her grandfather (my aunt's brother) where she wrote for 25 days about something she did to make a difference in somoene's life and then asked others to send in what they are doing. She offered to send $25 (her like monthly allowance or something) to the charity of choice of the person who did the best deed. Well like it got some attention on the news and other places and like some other people have decided to match her $25 and so it is like up to $650 going to charity and like all these classes and stuff got involved in doing good deeds. She is like 9 years old. I think that is pretty awesome... i think it is over now cuz i think it was only until december 25 but the website is

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I am like a five year old and super excited to open my gifts but we had to go to church this morning and now wait for (e:paul) to get here before we can open gifts! Ugh! I cannot wait another minute!!!

Hope everyone has a fantastical christmas!!!!!!!!!

I love wrapping gifts and the only thing I find kind of sad on chrimstas is there is no more wrapped gifts under the tree so it doesn't look as nice , maybe when I have my own house I will just have stock boxes wrapped to always keep under the tree! Anywho, merry christmas!

So my rental has 106.5 the country station in the presets so I flip to it a lot and I find myself sticking with it without relaizing. Like I will be like hmm what song is this, its not bad, and then I realize I am listening to the country station. I think I don't mind country music as much as I thought I did. I guess it has all the things I love, heartbreak, craziness and a side order of twang!@
