So I failed, as usual, at the keep up on the blog idea. Life is always so busy and I don't always have anything to say...or I don't want to actually discuss things because some of you silly folks actually read this and I don't know who you all are. I am doing better though, so I suppose it's all good. In keeping with my personality, this will probably be as random and eclectic as ever.
I ended up on Urban Dictionary again recently. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chandra
I'd forgotten how annoying the definition on my name is. Who on earth came up with that? I mean...really? Oh well though. I suppose it is somewhat amusing...kind of....
I somehow survived the chaos that surrounds Christmas. We had my step-dad's dad over for Christmas Eve dinner, but the other family members who were supposed to come over afterwards stood us up, which was kind of lame. My grandpa in Colorado called. I really miss him. I'm hoping to make it out to see him during the summer, so hopefully I can recruit a friend or two to go with me. I already had two crosses and I never would have bought one this big, but I absolutely love the one he gave me for Christmas. It's beautiful. I went to the 11pm service at my church for the second year in a row, which made me very happy. I didn't get to bed until about 1:30am though, so getting up at 7:00am was NOT fun.
I got a meerkat beanie baby and he is adorable. Definitely one of those spot on gifts that you totally love and weren't expecting. Brunch with my step-dad's family was kind of disappointing because it just isn't the same as it used to be. I miss the simple food that we used to have and I don't really know them well enough to enjoy being over there...and...I was really tired. We went to my grandma's house next, but pretty much everyone was out of the state this year, so it was weirdly quiet and we apparently weren't worth making a Bûche de Noël for, so this year lacked my favorite holiday dessert. :( One of my aunt's got way too carried away with presents for my sister and I, which she always does. That's about it in a relatively concise description. Oh...and I got my favorite lotion for Christmas. =)
We spent today doing our traditional after Christmas shopping. I didn't realize it until it was all over, but my parents didn't get into a fight even once, which is absolutely amazing. I got a pillow that is not flat, got the amazing movie that I really wanted (November Christmas), got a new chain for my silver cross, and some other stuff. I kind of bought a couple of frogs too. The Hallmark store turned out to be dangerous. They are sooooooooooooooo cute though. :) Church was amazing as usual. I got to spend some time with my Angel and get to know her future mother-in-law a bit. She seems nice. It's still hard to grasp the fact that my drivers ed chinese jumprope buddy is getting married. I suppose I'll get used to the idea eventually. She chose well...James is a great guy. I just wish they were here more often, so I could get to know him better.
Lol and I still haven't written about what I felt like trying to type through when I started writing this blog post, but I don't really know how to do that...and I don't even want to outright say it because I'm still trying to get used to the idea and stop stubbornly ignoring it. I am so ridiculous sometimes. o.O I have my reasons though. God just has a lovely sense of humor and knows better. I guess we'll see where this goes lol. It's hard for me to accept, but that's probably mostly because it's a bit of a control issue and a little scary. I trust Him though...more than anyone. :)
I have work at 8:30 tomorrow morning and I'm tired, so I should probably get to bed now, but hopefully I'll get around to another post sooner rather than later since I know some of you silly readers actually find them interesting.
bonne nuit
