Things I Like About Texas

I like that it's always sunny in Texas. When I arrived I was able to lay out. Not in a bikini. Lord knows I'm not skinny enough for that to take place. But I layed out in the front porch for about an hour. Then, by the time I went out to go shopping, the temp had dropped and the wind was so high I swear I was temporarily blown to Oklahoma!

Things are going ok this year with Daddy Kiki. I still don't like being here. Baloo told me to just suck it up and stop being so judgmental. It's weird being in a strange house. Everything is so different. And Daddy Kiki acts like a kid himself, so it's hard to be serious like I normally am. I guess I could find 1000 things wrong with this situation, but I have to make the best of it. I have a book, so that's been helpful. And, I've scheduled things to do everyday so we don't have a lot of free time on our hands. That's what causes the bickering. Baloo says I should just try to talk it out. However, we're not a cute black Huxtable family. When DK doesn't want to talk about something, he says, "I'm not having this conversation with you." and walks out. So you see what I'm going through here.

DK had a colonosccopy on the first day I was back. I don't know if any of y'all have seen your parents in the hospital, but it's not exactly fun. Seeing him all laid up in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of him and him being all confused from the anesthetics was not pretty. Which makes me wish he dies in bed one day instead of in a hospital. Don't worry. He wants it that way too.

Sorry I don't have any lovely interesting stories to tell. It's just that I really don't' like being here. I actually dread coming home every Christmas. I don't know if that makes me a bad person, but it does make me an honest person.

I hope everyone else is having a merry Christmas right now!

Update: Things I like about Texas include sitting out on Christmas day, soaking up some sunshine. I also like grilled turkey. Although I guess you don't necessarily have to have that in Texas.

This is something I DON'T like about Texas. Sigh. You'd think we would have progressed.....

I also don't like my Baloo being sad that I've been away for so long and that his family abandoned him for Christmas and he spent it alone with the cat. Somehow, I hope this teaches him to NEVER again leave me alone for another holiday. But, because I am human, I do feel sorry for him.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Baking Queen

I realize that it's after midnight, but I've put all my Christmas music on CDs and I plan on baking for the rest of the night. We're celebrating Christmas tomorrow with Ma and Pa Baloo and I'm baking Red Velvet Cupcakes. What do y'all think? I like to bake southern things to remind those Yankees that I'm a Southern Woman who knows how to cook!

Happy Two Days Before Kwanza



Hey Kids! I figured I'd write a post while I was here in Texas so I won't have a super long post once I get back to town. Things are going ok. Daddy Kiki and I are ok. We're not having a rocking time together, but there haven't been any fights yet, so you pretty much have to count you blessings. Let me take you back to the trouble I had getting to Texas in the first place.

Baloo and I celebrated Christmas on Thursday night. We had a lovely time. I ended up getting him a custom framed photo of one of the pictures he took while he was in Yosemite this past November. I also got him the 4th season of Family Guy. He got me a few pairs of socks (we have a thing about me not having any funky socks) as well as the game
Cranium for when we have our game nights and a cool fondue set. We later went to dinner at a local mexican restaurant and had margairtas. It was a fantastic Christmas. Cut to 1:00 a.m. when I get a call from Orbitz telling me my flight out of Lansing to Chicago was cancelled. No explaination. Just that my flight was cancelled. We then spent the next hour on hold with both Orbitz and United trying to find out how I was going to get home for Christmas. I guess since I was flying to Chicago, it was too close to the Denver blizzard, so they just cancelled my flight. Thanks. Orbitz offered to refund my money and let me know that the next flight out of town wouldn't be until Christmas Day! Eek! So after being on hold with United for an hour, the very nice lady said I could get a flight out of Detroit at 6:00 a.m. Baloo, being the magnificent man that he is, volunteered to drive me to Detroit. We only had an hour of sleep and left the house at 4:00 a.m. to make my flight.

So now I've been home for a couple days. Things are so different in Texas. I went shopping tonight and they were playing religious holiday music. Also, the raido stations say 'Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday." I like that. Because even if you want to be all politically correct, you have to recognize that Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ. And people shouldn't feel like they're doing anything wrong by saying the words, "Merry Christmas."

It's also rainy here. It rained all day. It's cool. Daddy Kiki and I are going to watch movies all night anyway and eat lots of food. Then tomorrow we'll open presents, have a traditional Christmas meal (with duck instead of Turkey) and I'm not sure what else.

Merry Christmas to all y'all! I hope everyone has a nice time with family. Or at least I hope you'll be plenty drunk!
