Christmas – Thankfully it is over!

Christmas was a near repeat of my worst Christmas ever 2 years ago.  This was my third Christmas away from home…me on the other side of the country from my parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews.  Last year was okay because I had Bailey….this year Bailey was in California.  It sucked.  I worked, which was better then sitting home doing nothing.  But, barely.   Rosana kept me company at work all night and as we served food to all the employees.  She and I can make just about anything fun – so that was my only saving Grace!  Still I wanted to just curl up in a ball and cry many times yesterday.  I talked to Baliey last night for a little bit….nothing new there.

My parents had given me $400 for Christmas when they were here earlier this month.  They knew I wanted a watch, among some other things, and would go out and buy it with that money.  What they didn’t know was, I bought some new clothing….but then the while moving to a new place got me saving all my pennies and I couldn’t buy anything more for me.  I didn’t want to tell them that the watch was a no go.  They wouldn’t have cared, they gave me the money for what I saw fit – but I still felt badly about not using it for fun stuff.  Out of the blue last night when I was talking to my parents, my mom asked me if I had found a watch yet, because they wanted to order it online for me and have it sent as part of my Christmas present.  They had looked at watches, but weren’t sure what I wanted.  I am so excited.  I am 99% sure I know which one I want – I just need to go to the store and try it on again to make sure.

I called the apartment place today and they do still have availibility to move in Jan 1st.  I have to manage to talk to Morgan and see what she says.  I feel badly about the money issue – but I really need to get my own place!!!  Another month may literally kill me!  Hopefully Morgan is eager to get rid of me (lol….not that I really wish that…but it would help my cause here!)  If not, I’ll wait until Feb 1st…the moving will suck so soon….but to have my own place will be worth every penny and every ounce of effort!

I got bored on Christmas Eve and posted a personal ad online!  LOL.  I think I love the game of the responses and seeing some of the ridiculous responses that I get.  Some guy offering me money in exchange for a date….he defends it by stating he is just interested in speeding up the relationship process.  By that, I am assuming he means that he ends up supporting his woman anyway.  I could use the money – but it feels cheap and wrong…NEXT!  Or the 50+ guy in a pizza making trailer….NEXT!  Or the self-proclaimed millionare looking for his barbie doll to take care of….I want to be his Barbie Doll, but I don’t think I am what he is looking for.  What is up with these guys????  LOL.  It is very fun.  I’ll let you know if I decide to take anyone up on any offers….this diary could get fun and single happy like it used to be!  LOL.
