Merry Christmas to All!

(and to all a good night!)

Today was an eventful, but non-eventful day.

I woke up at 12:30 PM, because I was up at like 2.. doing what, you ask? Looking at the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fasion show, of course!
Hahaha. It was just so much fun feeling inadequate and insecure.

I woke up this morning feeling like I should definitely eat healthily and drink lots of water, and all that. The problem was, I had absolutely nothing to do.

I cleaned my room, and went and got oatmeal for breakfast. Oatmeal is good because it expands in your stomach due to absorbing moisture and whatnot, so it's supposed to help keep you full. Then I headed up to my bathroom and brushed my teeth as to prevent me from wanting to eat some post-breakfast dessert. (You know how sweet stuff tastes after you brush your teeth--euggh). I put the final touches on my room, and bam.
I have 2 hours to kill.

Here's the thing about me, free time and boredom. I usually end up sitting down in front of the TV, watching reruns of horrible shows, and eating my butt's weight in whatever's in the very handily located pantry, which is literally 5 steps away from my TV watching chair.
[My TV watching chair is this awesome green chair that in my old house was at an awkward angle to the TV so it was really uncomfortable, but here it's just perfect. You can balance both remotes on either armrest -- the volume remote and the fast forwarding remote, as I call them -- and then you're set.]

so I attempted to evade this tempting little hobby of mine. I looked through a child's book called "The Big Book of Amazing Things to Make and Do". Not so amazing. They were all crafty and messy things... which does not bode well when your house has JUST been purged of all dust and dirt. I walked around the house, looking for something else to do. Nothing. I went and got the mail. Fliers, cause nobody loves me. So do you know what I finally decided to go and do?

Have a visit with my TV watching chair (;
But I said to myself "Okay, I'm not going to snack, because someday, I WILL be a Victoria's Secret Angel".

Yeah, we all lie to ourselves sometimes.

It worked for the first show. I sat through it, let my mind glaze over into a stupor. I even wandered over to the pantry for something to snack. I think I just like the feeling of something to chew on. Or maybe it's that I tend to go for chocolate, or carbs, both which make you feel a little happier. But no, I made it through the first show I watched.

Second show, not so lucky.
I ended up cracking open a bag of Parmesan-baked Pita Chips--BUT WITH LOW SODIUM AND ZERO TRANS AND SATURATED FAT!!

After demolishing half the bag, I decided I needed to put it back.
I did that, and then I felt really sad, so I went and sat in the couch instead and snuggled up with a fuzzy blanket. Insta-cure for post-putting-the-snack-back-sadness.

I then checked the time, and it was time to go get my sister from the airport! SCORE.
(Her flight had been delayed an hour, so that's why I ended up having so much spare time)

Drove there, got bored in the car, picked her up, drove to my favourite Mexican restaurant: Pappasito's!
Shared some fajitas, drove home. I unpacked her suitcase for her while she had computer troubles. She dropped it twice in one day, and although it worked fine directly afterward, that NEVER bodes well.

All the laptops in this house have issues.
Laptop 1: Fan is broken, and this causes the computer to last about 5 minutes before it overheats and DIES.

Laptop 2: My sister's laptop doesn't turn on, and tells you after trying to "automatically fix the problem" that the solution cannot be "automatically fixed"... THANKS WINDOWS.

This laptop: When you unplug it, it dies. (So basically the battery is shot.) Doesn't sound like such a big problem, right? Well, when you're clumsy, and trip over the cord more often than don't, it doesn't add up to being fun.

I think we're going to enlist the help of the Geek Squad tomorrow while we go shopping. [for our parents' presents on Christmas Eve...... HA]

So what then?
We [my sister and I] then watched The Golden Child [awesome story, bad graphics], and after an episode of Glee [the one where Kurt's getting harassed by what's-his-face and then what's-his-face kisses him :O]

Then, I go on the computer/facebook, and am unpleasantly surprised by something I have a problem with. So two days before Christmas, I'm a heartless girl and decide to tell that person.
Oops.

But I actually do have a big problem with it.
Oh well.

So now, it's one in the morning on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas, readers.
I hope that all of you have a splendid holiday, and that all of you spend good, quality time with your loved ones.
