Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy (early) New Year and Happy Quarter Life Crisis to me (more to come on that in a bit)!
My Christmas weekend began on Thursday last
When I spent eight hours sitting on my ass
Driving until I reached the ol' Nutmeg State
The hour of my arrival was rather late.
Once I got home, I climbed into bed
A hello and goodnight was all that was said
I awoke on Friday to the damn dog's bark
Living at home is no walk in the park.
Ridden with illness, my throat swelled shut
To the doctor's office I dragged my sick butt
He gave me drugs and nasal spray
And before I knew it, I was sent on my way.
My mom's dog Daisy had also taken sick
We thought it was from a bite from a tick
Growing up in a town called East Lyme
the disease bearing it's name strikes all the time.
Daisy was dehydrated and needed an IV
Three hundred dollars and she was as fine as can be
Off to lunch we went with all the ladies in my fam
My aunts, some cousins and of course, my gram.
After lunch we went to the beauty salon
and before I knew it, more than five inches were gone
My hair was chopped and blowed out in style
Pleased with my hair, I walked out with a smile.
Mom and I then went to the Ward's for cheese and wine
We had not seen each other for a very long time
High school friends and their moms were all there
With enough old memories and laughter to spare.
Later on the girls and I headed to the bar
where people had come from near and far
Random ass kids from our high school years
Shooting the shit over plenty of beers.
All in all Saturday was pretty damn boring
In the recliner, my dad lay snoring
I cooked my parents both dinner and lunch
both of which they seemed to enjoy a bunch.
On Sunday I brunched with Lissa, Matt and Jon
at a pretty country club with an emerald green lawn
Omelettes, salmon and delicious salad were had
And my large gin and tonic wasn't half bad.
For dinner it was chicken and broccoli and mooshi pork
I swear the people at the Chinese place are always at work
Afterwards we sat down to watch Little Miss Sunshine
Which is, by far, a favorite movie of mine.
On Christmas morning I awoke rather late
I think it was a quarter past eight
The gifts were open and dinner was prepped
All the while much good company was kept.
After dinner I packed up all of my loot
My mom resisted but it was a point rather moot.
With work on Tuesday in distant DC
Surely it was time to hit the road for me.
On the way back I listened to a book on CD
and talked to Ben who I couldn't wait to see
I pulled in to the empty house a hair before 1
And thanked the Lord the horrible drive was done.
