New Year's Hobby...

So this year, instead of coming up with a resolution that won't last longer than the first week, I decided I will start a new hobby! And since I lovingly received a knitting kit from "Santa" this year, my new hobby is KNITTING! I have always wanted to try it and now I have the motivation, supplies, and, obviously, the TIME (unemployed!) I started yesterday, and I have been working on a scarf.

I encourage you all to choose a new hobby to try this year and make something worthwhile for yourself in 2011! Happy New Year!!!

Mom's Visit!

I am super jazzed; my mom is coming to visit tomorrow! I feel like I could pee my pants! I have been cooking and cleaning since I woke up this morning. I am forcing her to have a late Thanksgiving dinner with me, since I missed both making my own and being at the family dinner. I hope she isn't sick of turkey!

I feel like I have so much to do to get ready today; I really want to impress her with our new house. Isn't that dumb?! I even told Brandon to get a haircut and clean up his room! Haha. It's sick how much we need our parents approval! I feel like a 5-year-old again. Oh well, I suppose that is what family and the holidays are all about :) Happy Holidays everybody!

Sorry Mom...

I love my mother very much. She is my best friend and I miss her now that I am living across the country. So I issue her an apology for my blog and the harshness of my first post.

With that being said, I'll also say this (which was also my reply to her:) those are my opinions and I stick to them. If I went around trying to gain everyone's approval by not stepping on toes, I wouldn't be myself. Besides, I didn't do it out of malice or to say there is anything wrong with those people, just that I don't want to be made to feel bad about myself if I am not like them.

But still, Mom, thank you for caring about me and caring about my soul even when I don't.
