Christmas Eve Eve

Let’s see…

Jeep is sitting in yard.  Me and Mum neither one have driven it yet, but the guy who did drive it home said it didn’t jump like it was. It still has some vibration (which may be shocks) but it doesn’t do the jumping thing like it was doing…He said he was going 70 at one point…Which if that’s the case, it’s def. not jumping like it was before, otherwise he’d been in the ditch somewhere. Either me or Mum are going to take it for a test ride within the next couple days to see what’s what.
Thing is…After not being ready to go (so many times, but specifically the last time), it sat outside with the window part way down, in the rain! Mum said the other day there was standing water on the floor! I just put a cd player into the Jeep last summer…Now I’m wondering if all that moisture inside is going to damage it. Not to menetion damage in general. Anyway…The Pet was going to go get his car hauler and haul it home, but stopped there one more time on the way to get his trailer, and see that the Jeep had been moved, and the keys were tossed in the front seat, but it wouldn’t start. We we all figuring the battery was dead…Well they put a hot battery in, and it still didn’t work…That cretian Grant had undid the coil so we couldn’t just take it home. Luckily one of the guys that was with the Pet there noticed it while they were trying to figure out what the deal was. They hooked the coil back up, hit the key, and it took right off. So…It was driven home.
Mum is waiting to see how long it takes Grant to get a hold of us (as we are suppose to owe him at least $200 on it…But seeing as how he did things, and the whole run around he gave us all this time, if he wants it, he’s going to have a fight for it. [Thursday or Friday one of Mum’s friends at work called her one friend, who is a cop, and he even said we should go and get it, and if he wanted the money make him come looking for it.]).

Still exhausted…Which is why I doubt I’ll get a rpg entry up tonight…I still haven’t gotten a day to sleep in at all. Was up by 8 this morning. *falls over* *pokes at Critters*
I tried to nap…actually I think I got about half an hour worh of nap. But it didn’t help much, as it was so little.

Got the gingerbread ‘houses’ done. Actually we turned it into a gingerbread house, and it’s garage. *laughs* Tis cute. I’ll get pictures taken as soon as the icing drys (as the one reindeer on the roof of the garage needs to get ‘frozen’ in place, so it doesn’t slide down. Currently it’s been propped up with a pencil and, I believe, a can of corn.)

I also made a batch of cookies. They are called ‘Santa Sandwich Cookies’. They are suppose to have a peanutbutter frosting in the center of two cookies sandwiched together…I might just leave them as chocolate cookies with decorations on them…As it just sounds like too much work to make them into sandwhich cookies…Made 50 cookies total.

Haven’t gotten to the other project I had planned on starting…I doubt I’ll get to it tomorrow, as my day has been planned out, against my will. My Mum has declared me and the Critters have to go with her sometime in the morning when she goes to vaccum her mother’s carpet (which there is barely enough there to count, and probably doesn’t even need it…But the old lady wants it clean before everone walks all over it on Christmas when the assort. family memebers drift in and out. *rolls eyes* She doesn’t care, or it doesn’t matter, that my Mum is sick, and coughing and congested, and probably shouldn’t be out of the house, let alone vaccuming someone else’s floor when it doesn’t really need it. ),
Tis just agravating…Mum has always been the last thought of, of the kids, but she’s the one that always gets called on to do stuff now…Which usually means I get sucked into it as well…And as mean as it may sound…I don’t even like the woman. Granted, I like her more than I did my Mum’s father…I down right hated that man…*shrugs* Can’t like everybody I suppose…I don’t care if they are ‘realatives or not.’  As far as I’m concerned, the man my grandmother was living with was more of a grandfather than my momther’s father was.
I’ve actually never cared much for either one of my grandmother’s…*shrugs* And as previously stated, didn’t like my Mum’s father…On the other hand…I did like the man who was living with my Mum’s mother…I called him my grandpa, and at the time I never realized that he wasn’t really. And I adored my father’s father.  *hugs Punker tightly* I miss him so much.  He called me ‘Pumpkin’. *smiles* I was his favorite. I knew that without even having to be told. [Then again, I was Grandpa Ivan’s favorite too…Even over his real grandchildren. Hehehe].
Despite the fact that Punker had a Luthern (I think) preacher babbling on at his funeral, I don’t think that is what he was inside. I think he was Pagan at heart…Even if that lable was never put in place.  He always fed the birds, and other animals…He even had a squirl that would come into the back room of the house and eat seed from his hand.

Grim called last night…Asked about The Witch Stones…I haven’t abadoned it…Though it may seem I’m neglecting it. I do plan on getting back to it, as soon as the whole Christmas thing is over…And I can get back into my proper sleep cycle…Or what passes as one for me anyway.

My half dollar sized bruise is starting to fade already.  I was actually surprised to see how far it’s faded today.

I think I forgot the mention this…But at the dance the other day…One of the mother’s there asked me how much I would charge to make a kimono…I wasn’t sure what to say. My Mum was talking to her one frined on the phone today, and was telling her about them, and said they looked professional. *smiles* There is a pic of me and the Critters in ours…It’s on the camera…Not on the computer yet.

Made some things from pipe cleaners today…I made most of a penguin…I need like one more black pipe cleaner to fnish it’s head…And I’m all out. *pouts*
I got a so-so looking deer…And the Critter’s names written in cursive (Sonja gave me that idea, as she was trying to write ‘grandma’ that way in them).

*falls over* Well…This looks a lot longer than I was expecting. So yeah….*wanders off*
