Last Confessions of 2015

Hi friends! I have no long preamble for you today, all I have are a few confessions that have been churning in my mind for the last few days. So let's get right to it:

- I forgot to share what I got for Christmas yesterday! I'm not going to list all the cool stuff I got.  Let's just say someone thought I was a very good girl this year. I will say that my favorite (and most thoughtful) present was my Easy Bake Oven. I know, I know... I'm not a little kid. But I had mentioned to Blue that one of the only things I requested, REALLY wanted, and never got from "Santa" or my mom was an Easy Bake Oven. So she (Blue) got me one!

- I'm so happy Christmas is over. Really. I just wish that I could take down my little Christmas tree, but I can't because my mom wants to "celebrate" on Three Kings Day (Jan 6). Which actually falls on a Wednesday, so I don't know which weekend she'll pick to actually be together, and that causes me minor anxiety.

- Christmas Day was not all sunshine and rainbows. I mean it mostly was, at least for me, because I was with the only person I wanted to be with, but there was some family dramz. It acted as a reminder for me, however, that no family is perfect. Every family has issues/problems. Maybe mine takes a different form, but no family is spared. And this was one reminder that I definitely needed.

- It really bothers me when people don't put thought into the gifts they give to others, especially family members. I always try to give things that would be meaningful to the recipient, even if I don't know them well, but getting something that you think is a re-gift or something they had laying around, well, that's not a very good feeling. And it's worse for me when I see this happen to others that I care about.

- One of my best friends moved away the day after Christmas. This person is the reason I moved to my current apartment. She lived (literally) across the street. I mean, I could watch their TV (because it was gigantic) from my back deck. She had been talking about moving for a little while because the space was cramped between her, her bf, and their one year old, but I was kind of hoping they wouldn't. I liked that we could stop by whenever we wanted, ask for milk, or help when necessary. I liked seeing their cars come and go, and the glow from their windows. I didn't think it would bother me much, but it does. They only moved two towns over, but it's just not the same.

-I was really surprised that I didn't get Christmas calls/texts from certain people. like my best friend in Puerto Rico. I called her on Christmas, and though I never expect her to answer, it's odd that I STILL haven't gotten at least a call back. The same goes for some friends.I'm wondering if I hadn't sent them a text in prior holidays, would they have sent me one? It seems unlikely now, since this is the first where I didn't at least text first, and that is disappointing.

- I tried eggnog for the first time on Christmas Eve. It's so thick! I didn't hate it, but it wouldn't be my first choice when reaching into the fridge either.


Hmm... I think that's all I got to get off my chest til the new year. What are you confessing?
