Oh, and Merry Christmas too.
Yes, I knooow. Again, I’m so lazy. I’ve been thinking about updating and all, but then I just can’t be arsed.
Anyway! It’s a brand new year and I feel worn out already. OK, let me explain.
I had a little too much to drink last night and I was sitting on the couch, watching TV and singing along to
and
Seriously, I can’t get enough of them. So my throat is shot today.. and all the arm waiving broke my back. And I did work yesterday and I was carrying some heavy shit around. I’ll blame it on that. I’m not hungover, tho, so that’s a plus.
So, Christmas.
FOR Christmas I got:
Mum and dad: Money. Which is exactly what I asked for. I was invited on a mini cruise on the 10th of January, which I needed money for. But it’s been postponed till March, I think.. so I don’t know if I can go seeing as I don’t get much work. And that sucks. But I’m hoping the girls wants to go to Sweden on the 11th of January instead so I can get some shopping done.
Brother: A book! A Stephen King book. “Under the Dome” to be exact, which is also exactly what I asked for.
The Kids: Sake. Different kinds. And some cooking thing.. like Japanese curry. I’m super excited about the Sake. I don’t think I’ll drink them, tho. They are really so cute and decorative.
Granny: Money, but I used it for shampoo and hair treatment thing. I tried a new one, quite pricy one called Bed Head by Tigi. I got the Dumb Blonde one. Since I’m all blond now and pretty short haired I need something that takes better care of it.
Honey: A Samsung Galaxy Pro tablet (and SMS earphones. They are AMAZING!)
Aunt and Uncle: Chocolates, scratchy lottery ticket (didn’t win) and a magazine.
Friends daughter: I got a french tip manicure set, but I exchanged it for an Essie nail lacquer called muchi muchi. It’s really cute and pink. I already have like two french tip sets and I never use those, so I swapped it.
I think I’ve decided that I’ll stop keeping things that I’ll never use just to be nice. I still have a tube scarf from two years ago that I never use. Too late now.
Boss lady: Shea hand lotion. Two of them.. vanilla and pomegranate. They are really good.
Father in law: A muffin maker! =D It’s exactly what I wanted! I think he’s a mind reader. Or he has Twitter. I saw a youtube video of Cooking with Dog making Takoyaki. It’s like batter you make in a Takoyaki pan.. they are balls filled with shrimp or/and squid and other good stuff. I’m totally going to make those!
I guess that’s it. If I’ve forgotten anything then I’m really sorry.
This Christmas has really been hard on my hands too. Before Christmas two of my nails split really far down so they are a little crooked. Then I burned my thumb on something hot. And when I was making Christmas cookies I sliced one of my fingers in two.. well, not all the way down, but it was through the nail and it hurt. Then when I visited my dad I was helping him make dinner, slicing potatoes in half, I sliced my other thumb for good measure. And yesterday when I was making swede stew I sliced my hand. I should just stop making things.
So yeah. On the 22nd of December lovie and I went to visit my family in Bergen by train. Night train. We almost slept.
It was really nice to see them all again. It was a really nice Christmas celebration. Even though the whole thing with mum and her dick of a money grabbing asshole “boyfriend”, it was a really lovely celebration. I’m not going to get into that. I don’t need bad mood.
Anyway. I hope you all had a great Christmas and that your new year will being you nothing but happiness and joy.
Be good to each other.
