Ohsojolly

     I don't know what it has been about today, but I'm in a great mood. I spent today mostly alone, baking cookies to prepare for when the family comes for Christmas. I also went shopping at Goodwill and got pair of shoes, a skirt (that I'm gonna use as a dress and will post photos of), and a shirt that reminded me of Kasey. My last stop before returning to my grandparents' was Target. At Target, I purchased the gag gift for Papa and Heather, some busybones for Wrigey and Lillyperl, a beanie for John, some more sprinkles for sugar cookies, and some leggings for myself. I really wanted to buy this bag, but I decided to wait until tomorrow, after work.
     I guess I'm feeling all jolly and christmasy already.(: My grandparents and I just finished watching The Velveteen Rabbit, which is an amazing movie! If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It's actually based off a book so you know it's going on my reading list.(: I'm so excited for this Christmas even though I'm obligated to work, I'm finally going to be able enjoy the company of most of the family; it'll be Emry's first Christmas as well! (She's my cousin Desiree's little girl.) I wish my jolliness was more contagious because my mom really needs to feel it. I mean, even though we don't agree on most things, she shouldn't make me feel bad for wanting to get her a Christmas gift. Her words were, "Don't get me anything for Christmas because I don't have money to get you something in return." Which I think is not in the spirit of the holidays, and anyway, it's not like she gets me anything when I'm away lol. I've accepted it.(x
     Also in jolly news, I have a date on Sunday! Interesting, right? Just another one of life's twists! I don't really know the guy except that he was a customer at ihop that I gave my number, but he's cute and funny so that's a start lol. This, of course, doesn't mean that I don't love Robert and such. It's just one of those things, ya know? We'll see how everything pans out.(:
     One final thing, the blog tittle is a play on words... sort of. Ha ha. Because in Spanish oso (oh-so) means bear. So there you have it.(x  Oh, I lied; two things. I've been having really intense dreams that are like "whhhaaaaa???" Maybe I'll blog about them later. Goodnight and happy holidays!~
