Sliding On Through

There's a lot to say, but I'm getting up early tomorrow morning, so we'll make due with short time, hey?

Did I ever mention how great of a fashion sense I have?

mawhahahahahaaaaa!! (oh look: matching socks!)

I hope you've been enjoying your Christmastime. I've listened to a lot of Handel's Messiah over the last 36 hours, and at the moment, Relient K's version of the Hallelujah Chorus is descending into my ears. Is there snow where you are? Make me a snow angel please. Or, if you prefer, a snowman will do just fine. Enjoy those frosty white flakes whilest they last, and get as much as the wear out of those wool mittens as you can. Sighhhh...summer '14 will be here before you know it, and we'll all be headdesking, wondering where all our time ran off to.

Seriously. 97% of this blog is just me reminiscing on the fact that we'll all die soon. -_-
---I promise, I don't actually spend my life thinking about this. It just happens when I'm about to go to bed (aka, the time I blog).

 My PJ shorts smell weird. They smell like the inside of my backpack. Probably because that's where I found them.

I had a lot of fun last night. I guess it was Christmas eve, but it felt more like Christmas night instead. There's a house haunted by javelina in which I and many miscellaneous family members feasted upon tamales and raisin pie. We made quite the evening, and miles of ribbon and wrapping paper were shed shiny new toys. The little cousins we pretty psyched about that part.
(Also, they tried to steal my hat and persuaded me to slide down the stairs...or maybe I persuaded them to do it with me...;)

Cute.

And then this morning I ate more food. So this Christmas, basically: food. I mean, in my family, we take our food very seriously. What self-respecting family doesn't? It's funny to me though, when I realize that people (err---stereotyping us Americans for a moment, bear with me) usually have ham and turkey for Christmas dinner.

THIS IS A SHOCKING DISCOVERY.

My Christmas dinner consists of tamales, rice, beans, tortillas, weird yummy cucumbery stuff...oooh! and the cactus salsa!! Alas, I didn't try any this morning. HowEVer, I'm beginning to loosen my hatred of guacamole, which is encouraging due to the way I've been scorned for my distaste in the green gooey goop.

Guacamole episodes aside and Christmas behind us, what are your plans for the new year? This is such a corny question, but it's only natural to ask. I'll be trying my feet out at snowboarding in the weeks soon to come. Who knows, maybe it will be the beginning of my Olympian career as a snowboardee. *snort*

...I'll just keep dreaming over here.

---And you should keep dreaming too. We're gaining a fresh start this January, so dream on! The world is what you make it, so make it great...and remember the good times.

Remember the times when we laughed, cried, and sang.
Remember how you felt when you could smell spring in the air.
Remember the strawberry ice cream at the beginning of summer.
Remember the way the leaves crunched under your feet last autumn.
And recall for me the way it felt to send that first snowball flying through the air.

Happy rest of the year!
Goodnight,
K-Minty
