You Are a Mai Tai

You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive. And when you're drunk, watch out! You're easily carried away.

What Mixed Drink Are You?

Yes, I'm still alive

Oh my gosh. It's been so long since I updated this blog, I'm sure there isn't anyone left reading it. How sad. Well, I guess I'll just write on it for my own gratification. We got our house. We're all moved in and unpacked. Well, mostly. There are a few random boxes that still have things in them that I don't know where they should go, or I don't have room for them. I also have three boxes of books that have yet to make it to the bookshelves. But I'm getting there. Otherwise, the house looks great.

And, we now have an addition to our little family! Yep, you guessed it! We adopted a dog! :) We adopted a German Shepherd from MAGSR, a rescue organization. Her name is Abbey and she is a year old. She's quite playful and energetic (much more energetic than me, I'm afraid). Here she is:



Isn't she so cute?!?!

Other tidbits of news...I turned a year older yesterday. Now I officially am in my late 20's. I feel old. My friends are having babies. It's crazy. My birthday was okay. I got some nice presents, was taken out to dinner, was made dinner. Some people remembered, most didn't. I guess that's sort of life in a nutshell, really. But now I'm being all depressed and a downer, so let me be peppy and cheerful again.

I'm beginning to feel all Christmas-y now. I don't know why. I think most people feel that way after Thanksgiving, but I begin to get that way after my birthday. I was updating my DJ and started going through the Christmas songs and singing them all to myself (and to Abbey, of course). It makes me feel all happy and stuff. I am trying to find a song but it looks like if I want it, I'll have to buy the CD online. It's a song called "Christmas Eve in Washington." It's one of my favorite Christmas songs. It makes Washington sound beautiful and it makes me remember why it is nice (occasionally) to live near the nation's capital. I want to get a tree, but if I did that now it would be dead before we even got to Christmas. I'm hoping to be able to get one the weekend after Thanksgiving, but that might even be a little too early. We'll have to see.

This year, for the first time ever, I'm spending Christmas away from home. I know, I'm too old to have never done that...it's time to cut the umbilical cord...whatever. I enjoy being able to spend some portion of Christmas day with my parents. I have never missed midnight Mass at my Church. So it is going to be a new experience for me. We're spending Christmas this year in Elgin. I'm okay with it, it's only fair. Robbie wants to spend Christmas with his family just like I want to spend it with mine. Last year we were here, so this year we'll go there. It will definitely be different. But, I'm sure it will be fine no matter where we are. Maybe we'll some how be able to convince my parents to come South with us as well.

Anyways, I guess that's all for now. If anyone is still periodically reading this blog, YAY. Let me know.
