Valencia

today is christmas eve... a very exciting day to be with family etc. unfortunately this year my family is very spread apart. my dad is at work right now, my pop pop is in his nursing home, my grandmom is in a nursing home, my sister is in georgia, nicole is in kville and other various cousins and aunts and uncles are at their respective homes. either way we're going to make the best of it, but it just doesn't feel like it used to. we used to have all our aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents at our house with piles and piles of food and enough cookies and pies to make you sick (or my dog sick because she would jump up on the table when no one was looking and eat them). this year it's just not like that... i'm still glad to be hom but just wish i could spend it with everyone we used to.

all last week and this week i was posting things saying like 'i am so stressed out' or 'what am i going to get for everyone' 'so much xmas shopping to do' etc, etc... so i decided i would show you what was really going on and what i got...

well the whole stressed thing was that i was a part of a 'pyramid scheme' in a way to make money. i mean i thought when the guy called up and said 'do you want to be a part of a pyramid scheme?' that scheme was a good thing. turns out i should have looked in the dictionary. needless to say, i lost all of my savings because i was at the bottom of the chain. either way, i had to find some new way to get gifts since i had 0 dollars!

so i went to the library and checked out…

are so sweet
