"COME BACK TO TEXAS"

"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH OHIO, EXCEPT THE SNOW AND THE RAIN-"


Haven't been to Texas.
UNTIL NOW.

We're going down Christmas night, to be with my mother's side of the family. Her 5 brothers & sisters, their spouses, their children, and NONNA ♥
That's like, 30 people.
Most of them are loud, a few are obnoxious, and all of the adults drink heartily of the "acqua di vita", aka WINE.

It's going to be interesting.


In other news.
Went to the Holt Heroetes Christmas party after Christmas concert (which I NARRATED, and everyone thought that it was someone else with a prettier voice because I have a cold and it didn't sound like me). I must say, WOW. If I was that type of girl, I'd totally steal Mark away from his girlfriend, because he has developed into a FINE young man.
But I'm over him, and I'm not that kind of girl, so I should probably nip that thought in the bud right now.
Vicky & Becca were at the party, which is col because I haven't seen Vicky in forever and the last time I saw Becca she was asleep the entire time.


Aaaaaand...

Amy should be coming by shortly to pick me up so we can go over to her house & I can wrap my family's presents in secret.


OH! I forgot.

We have a new kitty~♥
I wasn't thrilled when mother sprang it on me that she took in a stray, but then I saw him. He's ALL BLACK- nose, whiskers, tummy, toes, everything except his eyes, which are yellow/ green. They named him "Samhain", which is some Celtic or Gaelic or something word which is equivalent to Halloween.
I call him Sam Wheezy, because he has a cold and it sounds like a rapper name :D
