Christmas is over and all I can say is "AMEN"!!! I had a pretty good Christmas overall. I just stayed home with a bottle of wine on Christmas Eve. Talked to most of my friends and family. One thing happened, however, that didn't upset me at first, but now the more I think about it, the more hurt I feel by it. My Dad called me. I asked him how everyone was doing and how my Grandma was handling the first Christmas without my Grandpa. He said she did ok, but that he was having a hard time feeling sorry for her. I asked him why and he said he didn't want to go into it becauase he didn't want to hurt my feelings. I finally got him to tell me what was up. He asked me if I had gotten anything from my Grandma for Christmas, even a card. I said no, but that I hadn't checked my mail yet that day. So I went out and got the mail. There was a card, but that was it. Apparantly she went and got gifts for everyone in the family, except me. I'm not really sure what is going with that. My brothers and I have never been the favorite grandchildren to her by any means, but at least the two of them got gifts!! My cousins were always the favorites and we were always "subtly" let known that fact. Even back when my grandfather passed. I went through Hell trying to get a plane ticket out of my small town in order to make it home for the funeral. I had to take time off from both of my jobs, etc. All I heard was how great it was that Lauren (my cousin) was able to make it, and oh she was so worried that she wouldn't be able to get there. My cousin Lauren doesn't work, has a housekeeper, etc. Oh yeah, it was real hard for her to get away. I hate to sound bitter about it, but it seems like whatever we did in our family was never good enough for her. Lauren snagged herself a rich husband, Scott is a Doctor, and Beth has a good job and is married. I, however, am a slut because one time I asked to have my boyfriend come visit me while I was staying at their camp. Yup, the slut....the one who didn't lose her virginity till she was 21......big slut here. But that's my Grandma. OK, enough about that one, I'm starting to get angry over here.
So, Christmas Day, I opened the presents from my Mom. She got me a really nice ring, 2 necklaces and a Bulova watch which I love. I also got this really cool I Love Lucy wallet (one of my favorite shows) and a I Love Lucy fleece blanket, a new coat, and some new pj's. I went over to my friend Melissa's for dinner and that was really good. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time with people.
All in all, it was a good holiday. No word from Todd, but I don't really expect to hear from him either.
I hope that all of you had wonderful holidays, no matter what you celebrated!
