A few moments I will remember and cherish FOREVER:

* Waking up on October 12th, 2008 with Amanda's glass full of sangria next to my bed, and her Guest of Honor in my bed.
* Eating Luce and drinking beer while playing Wario Ware on my Wii and talking till all hours of the morning the very next day.
* Eating Thai food with Jerry back in January and he wore the only sweater he owns.
* Standing next to the upper floor railing during the intermission of Singin' in the Rain at the Ordway with him holding me from behind.
* Lying in bed on Friday before Eric's Halloween party, just having eaten dinner and cuddling while watching The Mitchell and Webb Look. Legs intertwined, holding hands, touching the other person's hair... :)
* Our first Cheap Date Night at the Red Stag.
* One of many meals at Our Kitchen.
* Jerry pushing me and my dead scooter back to safety.
* Drinking jynnan tonnyx fortified with hail while watching Look Around You.
* Fixing my tank top with twine.

* Got to Tiff's and discovered her battery charger is not working. Bummer!
* Met up with family at Macy's for lunch at the Oak Grill. SO TASTY!
* Did Dayton's Display (it will ALWAYS be the Dayton's Display, don't care if it's in Macy's now) with Darin (pics to come)
* Learned that a cousin has been through rehab for alcohol and drugs, another one entered rehab while we ate lunch. Subsequently learned that no matter how much I may feel like I'm not doing that great, I actually am.
* Got a call from My Mike, asking if I would want to attend the afternoon's performance of The Nutcracker. WHY I did not just say YES is beyond me...maybe because I felt like I belonged with my family. Everyone even gave me a ton of shit when I got back to the table and said that I had passed up a ticket to The Nutcracker to hang out with them. Oh well. There will always be more Nutcrackers. It HAS been over ten years since I've seen The Moscow Ballet, but I think I'll live...maybe.
* On the way to the party, Doug said that I'm the "most normal" of us four kids. I had a good laugh about that. Mom agreed, saying that Chris is a little iffy, Nicky is "a little too anal retentive" [LULZ] and I'm right in the middle. I was amused and proud at the same time.
* Forgot to pick up awesome holiday cards at Walgreens, so I had to borrow Mom's car and go pick them up. The man at the counter didn't even ask what I was there for, just handed over the pictures. I felt like a pseudo-celebrity. I can't wait till I'm famous. :D
* Bought two bags of Brach's Christmas Nougats for Doug, and a box of White Zin for Grandma and Grandpa. I buy the best gifts ever, I swear. :D
* Had a lovely time at the party. Managed to sit with Grandma and Grandpa, which I liked. I know they won't be around forever, and they probably won't live to see me have kids. I like spending as much time with them as I can. I love it when Grandpa holds my hand and squeezes my shoulder. I love it when Grandma rubs my arm.
* Nearly got teary-eyed when Sue (Grandma's brother Tony's wife) asked how I was doing. I told her [quite honestly] that I'm great. She said "We're happy to hear that. You've had enough icky stuff happen to you." I love my aunt Sue. :)
* When we pulled up to the apartment building, there was a random man standing on the stoop. Mom asked if I knew who he was. I said no, but upon further inspection, decided it could be jck. I told her that if it wasn't, I had no qualms about getting right back in the car. I shouted to him from across the street, and it sure was him! YAY!
* Arrived home around 6pm, and have now been online for about an hour. It's time to step away from the internet machine and GO CLEAN MY ROOM. I need to so badly.

PS--duchess_of_pie sent me the CUTEST card EVAR. I shall show pictures later. :D

Updated the list. YAY!

Started a new goal--healthy breakfast for two working weeks. I brought celery cut up into little pieces (my poor teeth...), peanut butter, and rice cakes. :)

Been keeping myself busy lately. Good times!

How are you?
