My apartment is in shambles cause the exterminator is coming tomorrow so my furniture is all away from the walls.
I have spiders.
I hate spiders.
I know they're supposed to be good cause they eat stuff but I'd rather not have them anyway.
But I won't dwell on that. Today was Christmas and it was excellent.
Presents with Mom and Dad in the morning. Got a lot of good stuff but my favorites were a waffle iron and a coffee maker.
I know, I think she's trying to get me to wake up early.
Then it was off to the boyfriend's extended family Christmas.
Which was more like we ate and then we watched SNL and Undercover Boss.
After that we headed out to the farm where we watched Mannheim's Christmas concert and Duck Dynasty.
"Better to have a day's worth of fish than a lifetime's worth of crabs. Instead of happy happy happy you'll be crabby, crabby, crabby."
Solid advice.
And that was my day. All in all an excellent Christmas.
Except if I get sick.
I'm hoping I don't get sick. Both his sister and sister-in-law got the flu.
It's making me paranoid cause I feel off, but that could just be because my apartment is in shambles.
On to the music.
Last one - Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Twelve
Straight No Chaser 12 Days Mashup
Jeff Foxworthy Redneck 12 Days of Christmas
BoyMongoose Indian 12 Days of Christmas
The Voice's 12 Days of Christmas
what's a partridge?
that is a valid turtledove question blake.
and of course my favorite
Janice Dickinson's 12 Days of Christmas
i love especially 1:02 and 1:13.
yes this list continues to grow, and i'm sure i'll find more to add next year.
the problem with this though is that when i sing it it's a mix and comes out more like:
12 Pack of Bud
11 Charges pending
10 Minute yoga
9 Years probation
8 Table Dancers
7-11 Workers
6 Cans of Spam
5 Mother F*cking Ugly Men
4 Italian Suits
3 Former Husbands
2 Giant Breasts
and a totally insufficient dowry.
eh, i like my version better.
2011 Day Twelve - And a totally insufficient dowry.
2012 Day Twelve - Four Italian Suits, Three Former Husbands

"Is that your dad?" "No it's not my dad." "I think it's your dad." "It's not my dad." *see mom through window* "Okay, maybe it's my dad."
So I went out to see the boyfriend after work tonight and we went out to eat and pull into the parking lot and we're walking to the restaurant and we see this guy leaving the restaurant and he's like "is that your dad?"
And I'm like no.
He then spent the next thirty seconds trying to convince me that that was my dad while I spent the next thirty seconds stating it was not and then we walk into the restaurant and there's my mom.
Okay fine. It was my dad.
To be fair it was dark, he was walking in a different direction and it's not like you can just yell out "dad" to see if he'd turn around.
Cause what if he was in fact a dad, but not my dad, and then he turned around expecting his own child which I am clearly not? That would be awkward.
Though it wouldn't matter anyway because my dad is half deaf so he wouldn't have heard it.
But it was, and of course they just happened to have his iPod in hand so I got to give even more lessons on how to run it.
See, an iPod for dad seemed like such a good idea for a present. Little did I know that I would be the one stuck teaching him how to use it, and not only teaching him at home but also in the middle of an Applebee's parking lot in 50 degree weather.
My brother lives half a mile away and he knows all this stuff. He says he knows nothing but I know that's crap cause his wife owns one.
But it was fate really, we could have gone anywhere else, at any time tonight.
The boyfriend thinks they planned this somehow cause they were so casual about it. And just happened to have the iPod in the car.
Apparently my parents are more casual about things than his parents are.
And speaking of my parents the boyfriend and I watched Duck Dynasty tonight which is another one of my dad's shows. This one mom actually likes. It's not awful but I don't need another Swamp People.
Before all that was work. Lots of stats today since there were only 4 of us, but they seemed to come in groups.
Between groups I cleaned cause it was gross and cluttered and I was bored.
Did a bunch of dusting and organizing drawers and all that. Even brought out that dust buster and was able to rehang it without breaking it so I'm calling it a victory.
Tomorrow will be more of the same. Work then hopefully another date night with the boyfriend since he's going out of town next week. Plus I want to see him as much as possible before he gets switched to second.
Which we're both so thrilled about.
Can you tell that was sarcasm.
I can't really inject that into writing without some sort of special punctuation.
But there is no special punctuation for sarcasm so I had to explain that I'm not actually so thrilled about him moving to second as I will never see him.
Though it did bring up the topic of marriage again tonight at dinner.
Actually it got super serious and was all about the wedding and all that.
At some point in the past year he told his mother about the Luxor chapel in Vegas and that we almost got married there and now she thinks we're having a destination wedding which she would not approve of.
And of course that makes him bring it up even more.
I never really thought about that as an option before Vegas. So I don't know if I want that or a church service and neither does he.
But I guess we have time to decide.
He still has 3 years to ask me according to the verbal contract I agreed to 2 years ago when we got together.
Genius move there.
But it's not like I'm going somewhere so it doesn't really matter.
Alright, I should crash. More work tomorrow.
Songs of the Day:
Both played tonight at supper.
Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
you don't often see singers act out what they're actually singing on music award shows. it's usually all dancers and flashing lights.
okay, nevermind here come the dancers.
Put a Girl in it - Brooks and Dunn
didn't realize they attempted a comeback. really like their old stuff but this is good too.
And I'm like no.

i didn't eat my soup or my bread, just the bunny.
Ah, Easter.
Huge day.
Woke up and headed out to the boyfriend's.
Got there earlier than planned so stopped and picked up flowers for his mom and mine.
They were excited.
Went to church with them and ran into my old college roommate.
Who I haven't seen since her wedding.
Which I was in.
And now she has a kid.
So a lot has changed.
It was amusing though cause her husband and the boyfriend's sister's fiance used to play baseball against each other so they were talking after the service.
Boyfriend's sister's fiance, you follow all that?
Also ran into an old drama buddy from high school.
Reunion central.
After church we ate out with the boyfriend's family, grandparents included.
Awesome food, had the baked steak with vegetables.
They're vegetables.
I hate the word "veggies".
Too cutesy.
Drives me nuts.
"You can't fix stupid."
More Duck Dynasty, ugh.
After dinner we headed out to the farm.
Hid some eggs - not as many as last year but still a good stash.
Pastor, wife and kids came out as well.
With the combination of those four and our millions there was a lot of tiny children running around.
The baby still loves me best, totally favorite aunt.
She walked three steps from me to Squirt so that's big potatoes.
Ate far too much for supper, combination of that plus the big lunch zonked me out.
So basically stayed on the couch for the rest of the day.
We watched the epic finale of The Bible.
It was interesting, except we were picking it apart because of specific inaccuracies.
Oh well, at least they made an effort.
Now I'm back and exhausted so I'm gonna crash.
song of the night cause i'm eating one as we speak.

"Your beard is so fat not even Dora can explore it."
Oh my god, I'm not allowed to get hooked on Duck Dynasty.
It's ridiculous.
Stupid marathons.
I didn't even turn it on, the channel was already on.
I meant to turn the TV on in the background - silence drives me nuts - but then I hear "There's a bearded man starting a fire in his yard, what are we gonna do?"
Not allowed.
Stupid marathons.
Headphones going back in both ears.
We actually had this conversation in class.
Well, on a discussion board for class.
Apparently I'm not the only one who does their homework with earbuds in for music and the TV on in the background.
Generational thing.
So today was pretty good.
Got to spend the majority of it with the Glee-Loving Boss at the home branch. We jammed.
Super busy morning. Mostly because there's only ever two of us and he did two storytimes and left for a lunch so I was alone at the desk for like 3 hours.
Not. Boring.
So 9-3 there, then back to the work branch for the rest of the day. Had a lot of my list of things to do once there but got to none of them because we were swamped there too. I was there for 3 hours and got 20-something stats in 2 of them alone.
After work the boyfriend came up. We watched Splash - to see Suh get eliminated - and then Rock of Ages.
Not bad.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was my favorite.
Of course, I know, big surprise there.
Can't believe that was Tom Cruise.
It didn't seem like him at all. Maybe it was the long hair that threw me off.
Scale of Awesome rates it at about 7/10.
Now they're telling beard jokes.
Apparently they're worse than your-mama jokes.
"Your beard is so fat not even Dora can explore it."
"Your beard is so stupid it took it two hours to watch 60 minutes."
"Your beard is so dumb it sits on the TV and watches the couch."
Okay, nothing good can come of this. I'm gonna give you music and then I'm gonna crash.
Back to regular work tomorrow.
More Voice Audition Rec's.
Can't Help Falling In Love With You - Jess Kellner
battle of the newbies.
Sunday Morning - Josiah Hawley
love blake's hair.
Mean - Danielle Bradbery
"are you bribing her with justin bieber tickets?!"
"nashville is a state." "one of the sixty states!"
Boyfriend - Vedo
"i'm gonna go cry with her."
out!
