Wow, what a Christmas! Rusty and I decided to spend this Christmas with just each other. It was nice to get up and not have to rush around to be three or four different places on the same day. We took our time opening our presents and enjoying the morning. Rusty made me wait to go through my stocking last so I just knew there was a ring in it that I had BEGGED for in October. It was a birthstone ring and I absolutely loved it and it was 50% off. I have never found a birthstone ring I liked since mine is a greenish color (peridot) so I was obsessed with the damn thing. I even commented to him once that I always get what I want. What a bitch!
Well, the ring wasn't in the stocking (he knew I'd think that) but there was a story titled "The Royal Dubs" and it is awesome. Rusty wrote it for me and I will post it on here later. It sums our lives up this past year perfectly. I had a great morning though. I got an Easy Bake Oven (yes the toy) that I had wanted ever since I was a child but dad wouldn't let me have it because it would make a mess. I also got this watch I wanted from Santa (dad), a cool hat, my paraffin bath (yeah!!), a foot massage bath, a tripod for my camera and a foot massage/heat pillow. Oh yeah, and a drawer organizer I had wanted. So, I decided to call my mom and tell her about my Easy Bake Oven I finally got and then wham!, I look down and there is this pretty little present..............................................
If you can't tell by the look on my face............I was shocked. I started telling mom about it and then I started to cry because I had been such a selfish little girl about it and didn't feel that I deserved it. Rusty had actually went and got it two days after I had told him about it. He says I deserve it but I still don't think I do. It is beautiful.
So, yes, I had probably the best Christmas ever. I am soooo spoiled and I will admit it.
I would like to think that I spoiled Rusty at least a little. He wanted Geocaching stuff and that's what I got him........plus some other stuff........................................
There's Rusty sitting next to some of his loot. Please keep in mind that we both are still fresh outta bed and in our jammies. We might look a little rough. After we got all done with our presents we got around and went and grabbed some Christmas dinner.........Burger King. It pretty much sucked. We came home and played with our goodies some more then, guess what we did? We went and did some Geocaching stuff! LOL After we finished with that we went to the movies and saw "Benjamen Button". It was pretty good, it's just looooooooooooong. Then we met Rick and Renee directly after and went to see "Marley and Me". That was a tough one...............the end of the movie brought back too many tough memories of Benny and I had to go in the restroom when I got home and bawl my eyes out. It's a very good movie (book's better) but it was soooo close to home for us both. Didn't know it at the time but it had crossed both our minds at the same time to get up and walk out and not face the inevitable.
So, here I am, on the day after Christmas. I didn't have to work today so I enjoyed laying in bed until 9:00. I got up and did some laundry and straightened up my closet and drawers. I straightened up the house and the kitchen and then I decided to go wash the car and the truck. I also brought each one home and vacuumed them out. The weather was beautiful today, other than the wind advisory! When Rusty got home from work we took down all the Christmas decorations. We usually don't do it this soon but with our small house I wanted my dining room table back and that meant taking down the tree! We went to eat Taco Shop and after that we FINALLY got to take Georgia and Leigh Ann their presents. We had a great visit and then we came home. It is now 11:00 and I am kind of tired. I still want to take a shower and I have my paraffin bath heating right now. I can't wait. So, I am gonna make like a weenie and beat it!
