Today was not so bad. Here’s what happened where I am:

Rallo enjoyed the fire:

Wiggles Fontaine came out of hiding: it’s a Christmas Miracle!

I got money for my “ongoing procedures,” meaning: therapy!

Mom’s best friend Jim let me slap some cats and an outrageous moustache on him:

I found these wine glasses:

Mom says that she has no idea where they came from or that they even existed, so: I GET TO KEEP THEM FOREVER.

What in the world.

Also: it is snowing in Kilgore. This means: the apocalypse is nigh. ARE YOU READY?

Finally: there was a huge, loud boom earlier in the evening. Something definitely exploded. Around here that usually means one of two things: a meth lab, or something oil/gas related. I’m banking on the latter, based solely on the smell.

BACK IN BOULDER: LA went to see Les Mis with her family and cried. I can’t really laugh at her given my reaction to every single ASPCA commercial ever made. It actually makes me miss her even more, which I didn’t think was humanly possible. But: there you have it.

I love my family but I cannot wait to be back in CO to my other family. 2013 is going to be awesome.
