Gobble Gobble

So I'm a few hours late from really being able to say gobble gobble anymore. But hey its still Nov 27th on the west coast. Today was a good day. We watched the parade this am and it made me homesick! Ugh. I miss NY so much. I miss family and friends. Even though I have my girls, mom and step dad here, Xmas is going to be a downer for me because my niece and nephew won't be here. I won't see my sister and my bff. It sucks.

So anyway I got put into the holiday spirit this year. I am never into it this soon. It's usually the day before. LOL. I am still bummed about the fact I am totally broke and the girls will be getting next to nothing. I know, I know its not about money and presents. But I still want to give them whatever for Xmas like I have always had the chance too.

So what got me into the mood of course is baking! I love it. On Wednesday I baked 2 pies (pumpkin & apple) 2 dzn choc chip cookies, and a dnz brownies. Then I was at my boss/neighbors house and she was baking. So I joined in. And they had the Xmas music going, and then decided to put the tree up. It was nice.

And then today what put it over the top was talking to someone who I haven't spoken to in almost 2 yrs. Who? Steph's mom! Most know (because I have bitched about it) she stopped speaking to me when I had decided to have two God mothers. My sister and her. Taylor couldn't choose between 2 of his friends so we agreed for her to have 2 sets. So she felt that it was kinda a stab at her I guess, and she stopped speaking to me. I was so hurt because she has always been like a 2nd mom to me. Any so the story for toda goes...I had Kiarah call her just like I do any other holiday. Now normally she has the answering machine pick up and she scans the calls. Today she just answered, so I put the phone to Kiarah's ear and they spoke for about 5 mins. And then she said bye and Kiarah said she hung up. I was about to hit the off button, but something told me to just put it to my ear. I heard background noise and said hello. She said hello back and wished me happy tday. I said the same. We chatted a bit about NC. I told her I miss home of course and want to go back eventually. So then I said to her I hope you will no longer be a stranger. And she said she wouldn't that she missed me and I said I missed her. I cried , she cried. LOL It made me miss NY more. LOL So we'll see. Now that we will be speaking I want to take a trip to NY before the summer. I know she would let me stay at her house while I am there. And I would be going to see her, Steph and my sister & fam. We'll see how that goes. I have to figure out my funds come Jan. And see what I need and can wait on so I can purchase tickets. I may go for the Easter break. And come back the day before Easter? IDK something like that. LOL.

Last night we had a lil get together. My mom made lasagne and their best friends DJ & Karina came over. My aunt came up from SC and her friend Alan (who is here from NC) came over as well. I loved being around everyone. They were all hanging out and having fun. There was so drama but it was still fun.

As always Tday is fairly boring. I helped my mom prep a bit, yaay for me peeling potatoes. But on Tday she wants no1 in the kitchen, otherwise I would of helped more. Reminds me of my grandmother...lol. So she cooked we hung out, snacked. I ended up resting for 2 hrs while Madi slept. When we got up it was time for dinner. We had the usual...turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams, mashed taters, rolls, broccolli, and I believe that was it. The turkey was REALLY good. It wasn't dry at all. It was nice to sit around the table and laugh. My step dad decorated the outside of the house. So when we finished eating I put jeans on Madi (she was wearing a skirt) and took her outside to see the lights. I made a few stops at some neighbor houses. And that was really it. At 9 I tried putting Madi to sleep but she was fighting it big time. I ended up just staying in my room for the rest of the night.

Woah this was a bit mumbo jumbo'd...lol. Anyways its 2:23 my a double s needs to get to bed. Sweet dreams
