Tomorrows the Big Two Five scary thought huh? I’ll be a quarter century old. How depressing of a thought is that. Ah well on the plus side Beth is throwing me a surprise celebration. I have no idea what but I know it’ll be great.
In a different direction I spent the holidays with Beth’s family this year. This is the first time I’ve celebrated Christmas with a family besides my own. It was very fun and very different than my typical Christmas. For one her family all meets together xmas eve and sings carols and plays giant family games. It was very homey feeling. I need to work on my competitive edge though, cause in all the games we played I was like “yay we’re playing games!” instead of having a “I must win” mentality. Of course I’ve never been a very competitive person.
So if you haven’t heard I got Beth an IOU for a puppy for Christmas. We are still trying to hunt one down, but its important to be patient instead of getting the first puppy we see. Beth and her family got me some great gifts a bunch of books, a videogame I desperately wanted, and Beth got me a Garmin which I am having too much fun playing with. Probably the most impressive gift came from Beth’s mom when she bought me a book on my list, without knowing it was on my list. Perhaps I am just that transparent. Also Beth’s mom threw together a Hanukah dinner for me and we had brisket and latke’s mmm…. I even did the candle lighting prayers.
Ok I need to sleep, who knows what excitements holds for me tomorrow. All I know is I won’t have my cell on me and I need to wear a suit.
