My Life ... It's Random

It was a good one.  Some downs, but for the most part, it was good.  I got some good stuff, including the DNA Test from Ancestry.com so I can get a breakdown of my genetic makeup ... I'm really excited for that!



Here's me today just before going to dinner with the extended family.

Also ... I LOVE my extended family on my mother's side, but ... I can only take them in small doses.  I'm too much like my father and not enough like them, so most things like this I tend to keep quiet (which is unlike me lol)

But all in all, it was a great day.  And I'm seeing The Force Awakens tomorrow, so yay!!!!

We celebrated Christmas with my dad's side last night and it was amazing!  My dad has been working on clearing out my uncle's house which is PACKED with stuff ... well, he took a couple of boxes over to my Aunt Loni's house and when we pried them open we found ... pictures.  Hundreds of pictures, some dating all the way back to 1928!  I managed to get some pictures of pictures ... I wanted to share them here ... a look at my past, a bit of where I came from :D

( Pictures Be Here )

So ... here come the pictures!  I had a great, great Christmas!  Ended up staying at the fam's house till 8:00pm ... got there at 3:30!!!  We had so so so much fun!!!


( Pictures, pictures everywhere!!! )


It was a really great day!!!

Happy Christmas, Merry Holidays, etc.!

I hope everyone is having a great day, whether you celebrate Christmas or not.

I was awake at 7am LOL!  We started opening presents at about 745 once everyne was up.

I got a new big suitcase for my trip later this week, Smallville Season 10 (yay!), Captain America, the new LeAnn Rimes CD, the new Miranda Lambert CD, the Taylor Swift CD/DVD combo and a new Harvey's seatbelt bag!

My grandma gave me a sweater and a pair of pants, and my aunt got me some fleece pajamas (which will go on my trip) and a new top that will be great for work.

We ate breakfast - tamales, ham, eggs and homemade hashbrowns ... YUM!

In about three hours we'll head up to Azusa to spend Christmas with my mom's side ... there will be a total of 19 people there! O.o ... it's gonna get crazy!  I'll post some pics either tonight or tomorrow ...

I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

Thought I'd post some pictures of my Xmas tree :D

We did some decorating!!  Still have to get the tree and put lights up outside, but ...
( Christmas Decorations!!! )
I'll post some more once we get the tree and outside lights up :D :D :D

Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

-Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is
another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

So, here's my wishlist:

Why yes, I did recieve Mane 'n Tail Hoofmaker for Christmas from one of my coworkers ... it can be used as moisturizer for us humans *g* ... I tried a bit and it works really well ...

But yeah, weird gift ...
