There's just something about Sunday afternoons that I find relaxing. Even if there's an agenda, even if I know it's gonna be a late night, I always enjoy the few hours of downtime on a Sunday afternoon.
Sounds of football are filling the room as I sit and type this overdue blog post. I'm sure it's a sound we will hear pretty often over the next day or so. The Holidays always seem to bring it to surface for sure. Not that I'm complaining, because unlike most women, I actually enjoy watching/listening to football. My team(s) of choice? (NFL) The Houston Texans, (NCAAF) The Texas Longhorns. I'm a Texas girl all the way!
My uncle, Kevin, has been down for a visit from Arkansas. Things have definitely been interesting since he arrived. He got here just in time for all the Christmas festivities. Christmas Eve, my Mom hosted the big Christmas dinner at her house. Then, Christmas Day, we ate breakfast, and exchanged gifts again at Mom's. Around lunch time, Kevin wanted some Mexican food. Well, we figured everything was closed but we tried anyway. 2 hours later we decided on just getting TV dinners from Walgreens and hanging out at home. Well, the weather decided it wanted to drop 20 degrees in 2 hours and kick up winds strong enough to knock down a small shed. So, when we got inside Walgreens, the power went out. We went ahead and got what we needed thinking it would all be fine at home. At the checkout they were accepting cash only and tallying everything up with a pencil, notepad, and an iPhone. Poor things had no idea what things cost, or how to add everything plus tax. (Goes to show you how little kids are ACTUALLY learning in school. Sad. ) Finally, a after checking out, we made out way home only to find that the power was also out there. Still, we didn't let that stop us. We lit up the stove, (thank God for gas powered stoves) put on a griddle, and started slowly heating up the burritos we bought. When they finally finished, we ate and shot marbles in the living room until it was finally time to go our separate ways to sleep. (Our power wasn't restored until nearly midnight) Needless to say, Christmas was very memorable this year.
Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. Can't believe he will be ## years old! Haha. He said that the Plexus (a supplement for losing weight that my husband and I sell) that he's taking may not be working anywhere else but it sure is making his hair thin! I hated to break to him that it wasn't the Plexus making his hair thin out, that was all him. Maybe I should get him some Rogain, or a toupee for his birthday!
My 20th birthday is also coming up. My friends say I'll be so sad that day, but I am actually so excited to be 20! Can't really say why, because I don't know, I am just very excited.
Hope you all have a safe and blessed New Year!
