Well It has been WAAAAAY too long since I did a post. I just kept telling myself that I will make one but I just kept putting it off until I found some time. But the time never came until NOW when I officially have nothing to do.
First off, Its the day after christmas and all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. BUT outside is a stupid dog named Dusty that WON’T STOP BARKING! Gawd that dog gets on my nerves. He’s barking at distant fireworks going off in the distance. All of the usual shops opened up. I wonder who will have the better deal? Not that I care or anything, because we normally shoot at the sky on New Years. I know that its dangerous BUT we are outside the city limits and there are fields for miles. But anyway, I have no New Year’s resolution. I might make one later in the week but I don’t even want to bother. I always end up having to get off of track because of something silly.

Christmas was more or less stressful than normal. First of all, I didn’t have to buy many gifts this year. But I did have to do a number of errands. But aside from that, it wasn’t all that eventful. At least until Christmas Day.
For the first time in a decade, it SNOWS in this part of Louisiana. It hasn’t been this cold in 15 years. It threw me for a loop. I finally got the chance to experience the snow again. For my nephews, its the first time for them since none of them were born before ‘88-’89. We had fun freezing our hands off in the ice that covered just about everything. There wasn’t enough of it to build Snow angels and Snow men but it was enough for ust to enjoy a nice little battle of a snowball fight.
Later that afternoon, me and my two nephews played the game one of them got for christmas. We ended up playing it for about 6 hours straight. A lot of fun and laughs all turned cold that night when i had to drive one of them home. It took like 15 mins to thaw out the windshield. The snow turned into ice slabs on most cars we passed by. I think it was about 27 degrees that night. Tonight isn’t all that cold as yesterday but its still cold and I hate cold.
I didn’t get many gifts this year. One of them have to be bought this week because what I wanted was all sold out. I’m not to distroyed by it but it does put a damper on today because I have nothing to do. Though yesterday I did bake my patented Lemon-Meringue pie. It came out rather well but i did not get a chance to savor any of it. While I was cooking, me and two of my other nephews engaged in a game of UNO. Sad to say that both of them tried continually to cheat but none of them were able to compete with a vet.
It was a good christmas but nothing like I expected. It always seems to turn out as unexpected. Maybe I shouldn’t expect anything next christmas. It might make things even more eventful.
