Hey, everyone. I'm back. Yay.
So, yeah, it's probably just a little lame that it's Christmas day/night and I'm spending time on my computer writing a blog post, but obviously that hasn't stopped me from doing it. Tada!
Happy holidays, guys and gals! I had a very eventful day today, and I think a few people may find it funny, too.
One of the highlights was...wait for it... I got my very own copies of Leviathan and Goliath by Scott Westerfeld for Christmas from my mom! Gasp! That's so amazing! (My sister got me Leviathan, too, and I will trade that in for credit or whatever toward Behemoth, the middle book in the Trilogy.)
Let's just say they will be going everywhere with me from now on. No joke, ask my family.
Us three kids made appetizers at my aunt's house (my job was dipping stuff in chocolate, so it became "Melissa and the Chocolate Factory") and then we went to my Grandma's for the famed Christmas dinner.
One thing you should know about my grandma is that she is very opinionated on the subjects of Taylor Swift, Ellen DeGeneres, and Cardinals (the bird, not the team). She says Taylor can't sing, write songs, and many other things, and that Ellen can't dance, and she's in a never ending battle with the birds who sit on her car mirrors and poop all over.
It's very easy to get her riled up about it, so the three of us and another aunt decided to play a practical joke on her. What we did was get a few little cardinal figures (styrofoam) and printed out a picture of Taylor and a picture of Ellen. The birds we placed around the house for her to find, the Taylor we framed and replaced another picture with, and the Ellen we cut out and put on a dancing palm tree.
She saw the tree first, and that made her laugh. When she saw Taylor, her words were "What the h*** is up with this s***?" exactly. I swear all of us laughed for a minute and a half straight, and it seems my whole family is against her for some reason, and that sparked a whopping 45 minutes of debate. Yeah. She found the cardinals throughout the evening, and they made everyone laugh. So it was a hit. Yay!
Okay, does anyone else feel like that took a long time? I do. Sorry for the longness.
I reiterate, Happy Holidays!
