Watch out for nargles.

If I see one more chocolate, I am seriously going to hurl. I don't even LIKE chocolate! I just apparently have absolutely no willpower, because every time I walk through my parents dining room, or the lunchroom at work, I'm like "OOH, PURDYS!" and I stop and snack for ten minutes. Like some sort of wild animal grazing.

It's just chocolate that I've developed an aversion to, however. Throw some rum-eggnog homemade cheesecake at my face, and I am once again a human vacuum. Mana and Chris made seriously the BEST Christmas dinner I've ever had without a turkey this past Thursday! I'm talkin amazing beef in gravy with mushrooms, drool-worthy roasted lemon potatoes, and Greek salad, here. The cheesecake was the perfect finishing touch. It was so so so nice to have a sit down dinner with friends. It's something I haven't done much since everyone moved and Manda went away. Definitely makes me miss the good ol cooking lesson days, that's for sure! Though I did make French toast, bacon, and eggs for breaky this morning with Libby! If you know my sister and I at all, you're probably surprised it even turned out edible, but I have to say, once we sured out all the smoke and actually got everything in the table, it was really not bad. Not bad at alllll, so against all odds, i'm actually improving. :)

So anyways, the fact that I've probably gained twenty pounds and now have as much acne as a 13 year old boy who doesn't shower every day aside (curse chocolate): this Christmas was a wild success! My wonderful, wonderful coworkers let me take off from work at TWO! I was sooo incredibly excited! I hate driving in the dark, and I was so impatient to just get back to ol dub el. It took me like seventy trips in and out of the house past a ginormous, overly excited German Shepard with no respect for my space bubble to load the car full of presents! When I was unloading then at my parents, I felt exactly like how Santa must feel. It was kind of amazing. The moment I got home, my mum surprised me by making deviled eggs (my FAVE!) and she made me theee nicest air mattress bed a person could ever ask for! Score for not having to sleep on a shitty couch in the rec-room with no pillows and my brother! (September visit...)

Last night we had a faaaantastic turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and Manda and my grandparents came over! I got THE king of care packages from them! I couldn't be more excited that the whole month of January I won't be eating pb & j sandwiches made with stolen condiment packets from restaurants! My grandpa and Mana has the same conversation about seven times, and we spent the evening drawing and playing board games just like how Christmas eves should be spent in my mind! (After my parents finally relented and turned off the shitty reality tv shows anyways...heh)

We woke up early to open prezzies, me out of excitement, some of the others, (and I'm not naming any names here *cough* *mom* *hack* *snort*...) because Mason had to work at nine. I think it's safe to say that everyone really loved what I got them, and I'm sooo happy about it! I got absolutely stellar gifts too: my family must really miss me or something, because holy guacamole did they do me good this year! Mason ended up being a total little buggering liar face, and he didn't have to work at all, he just wanted to start tearing up gift wrap 20% earlier hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I nearly died it was sooo funny.

Anyhoo, I hope you all had a lovely festive time with your friends and families! It's that time which matters the most. Today I leave you with what is possibly the funniest thing of my entire life:

Unfortunately i'm on the blogger app on my phone, so I'm not sure that that will actually become clickable, but make sure you copy and paste because it's well worth it, and I know you could all use a little laughter.

Cheers!
