Sad with a side of silly.

I am so fucking lonely right now. Bren is still sick, Katie is gone, Ben is sick, too (but better than he was) and I miss my friends and family. I really wanted to bake some cookies last night, but I was too tired and depressed.

I forgot to tell you guys this - you might find it as amusing as I did. We opened our gifts at Bren's mom's house last Saturday. My mom gave me $100 ($65 of which is sitting on my desk to be put in the Disney jar), Katie gave me some nicknacks she bought at her school's Christmas shop, and Bren gave me a $75 gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma. The kids got a bunch of stuff and while they were opening their gifts, we were talking about us moving things into storage and starting to look for a house because our apartment is getting too small for the 4 of us. Bren's mom started to lecture us about how much crap we have and how we shouldn't buy any more books (glance at me) or DVDs (glance at Bren). So Katie gets done opening her stuff and Bren's mom asks her to go get the gift bags from the sitting room and she hands one to Bren and one to me.

Inside them - a gift card to Books-a-Million for me and a gift card to Best Buy for Bren.

*facepalm*

Aw, I hope you feel better soon. Also, lol at Bren's mom. Gotta love in-laws. I just narrowly escaped seeing Chris' family this holiday (which was a relief).

Thanks.

She's special, all right. She drives Bren crazy, but so far, I haven't wanted to do more than smack her once or twice. My parents' families - now THEY'RE nuts and I go great lengths to avoid them.

Here's hoping all our crazy relatives get saner in 2009. :)
