Whooo - Hoooo!!! It's snowing again! We're supposed to get up to another inch ~ I may be able to build my snowpeople yet!
I got two yule cards from fellow Maidens today ~ I love it! First ones of the season!
It's nearly official ~ Bush will be the next president. Perhaps I should start heading for Canada now.
Speaking of running for Canada ~ my dad called tonight to pen me down on a date to go over and have dinner. I really, really, really didn't want to do it. There is just something about the way I feel they treat me (read: leave me be) for the rest of the year but December rolls around and they want to play the family thing. I especially can't abide by my grandmother's two-faced demeanor. Oh lord, I still can't believe she told everyone that I was upset because I gained so much weight last year when she thought I wasn't in earshot then proceeded to act as if everything was normal. That and the fact that she tells everyone that I am married ~ just so she won't have to face any embarrassment.
I suppose I do owe my dad an apology though ~ instead of accepting him as he is, I've expected him to act like I feel a father should. I suppose he just doesn't know much differently. I hope. But that's several tired, boring journal entries in itself. |
