My X-Mas

Although I thought it was going to be a disaster this year, our christmas eve was mayor fun! Everyone was happy with the little presents I got them and I got some great in return. To bad I didn't got any fun stuff, but I'm glad I got something I really need, coupons from Ikea.

The night started cosy, my sis, whom was the lady of the house, was in the kitchen most of the time. She wasn't all that well prepared I guess, I asked to help her but she refused. But after an hour or so she was (almost) full time with us! During dinner there were fun chitchats with my brother and his girlfriend, I always thought of her as a little phony, but after that night, I don't know, she can be kind of fun, maybe I should bond some more with her, after all, she's my age.

There weren't any really fun or excited thing to tell, it was just a really cosy evening.
How was yours?

X-MAS SHOPPING

I love shopping, especially giftshopping. Now as you all know it's almost Christmas and I still have to buy all my presents. In our family it's sort of a tradition to pass along lists with thing we want most or need. I love it, you can never buy something useless, unless you want to be original and give them something they don't want... But therefore you need to be very stupid!

This years wishlists are a total bummer. They've never been so boring. A gift coupon from this store, one from there... There's NO INSPIRATION. How can we make something fun with that? Or something surprising... I can imagine the opening: "Oh a coupon, aww thanks we just needed that" it doesn't even matter which of the stores it's from, it's a COUPON, you might as well change money..

Any thoughts? How can I make this Christmas a little more fun, and especially the shopping?
Please help...

And I wish you all a nice shopping time!

Many many changes

A few weeks ago, I have thrown my life totally upside down. If you had tolde me 2 months ago that something like that would happen, I... I think I would've laughed it away, you know, don't be silly!
But I did it, I jumped.

I'm not one to talk about my relationships, maybe a short thing about it, but nothing to serious. So no one saw the split coming. The truth is that, tough we loved each other a lot, we didn't have the energy that was needed to put in our relationship. Which is really sad if you think of it. We've been together for almost three years now, but the last year we were only a couple for practical things. Getting groceries, payments, the world outside... But we really lived in our own world when we were together. And I couldn't bare it anymore so I threw all sanity overboard and had THE talk with him. He agreed and with pain in our hearts we separated.

Now I live alone in a house to big for one person with his furniture and lots of tasks that need to be done, and I don't really know where or how to begin. I'm lucky to have my family and friends. Even when some friends have proven they aren't that loyal but I'm glad with the ones I have. They have been the greatest support ever. And I hope they don't read this or it will get a little uncomfortable for me...

But now, almost a month has past and I feel better than ever. I feel alive! I hope it'll stay that way.
Thanks for listening, reading!
