I&#8217;m just not looking forward to the family festivities. Like for Christmas Eve, we always go to my cousin&#8217;s house where we have dinner, hang out, open presents at midnight, then end the night with a late night snack. I look forward to this! But in the past few years, our gatherings have felt less intimate and more routine. Maybe it&#8217;s just me. I do have a tendency to &#8220;read into&#8221; things too much.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you know that sinking feeling you get when you realize someone probably doesn&#8217;t like you but can&#8217;t openly show it because you have mutual friends? I hate that feeling&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was tagged by <a href=\"http:\/\/heartcollides.livejournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ceci<\/a> for this meme so here we go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Who sleeps in bed next to you?<\/b><br \/>\nMy little Diesel! Really. He sandwiches himself right between Rob and me.<\/p>\n<p><b>What did you last eat?<\/b><br \/>\nA piece of white chocolate with peppermint bits. Yum!<\/p>\n<p><b>What kind of books do you read?<\/b><br \/>\nMostly chick-lit and YA. I also go through phases of reading romance. Sadly, I haven&#8217;t read a book since August. Reading more is definitely going to be one of my New Year&#8217;s resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are you reading right now?<\/b><br \/>\nI started reading <i>In the Merde For Love<\/i> by Stephen Clarke back in March but I must have kicked it under the bed and totally forgot about it (this is what happens when you don&#8217;t have a nightstand). I found it recently and should probably start over. I also received the first 3 Sookie Stackhouse books for my birthday and I really want to dig into that series. <\/p>\n<p><b>If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?<\/b><br \/>\nDisneyland! Like that&#8217;s a surprise. Or Paris. *sigh* I love traveling.<\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s really creepy?<\/b><br \/>\nAll Horror movies. I get scared easily.<\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s your current fandom\/obsession\/addiction?<\/b><br \/>\nThis season&#8230; Gossip Girl, Glee, So You Think You Can Dance.<\/p>\n<p><b>What did you really want to do today that you didn&#8217;t?<\/b><br \/>\nI wanted to finish wrapping all the Christmas presents and clean up a little&#8230; I worked late and got lazy.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are you most excited for?<\/b><br \/>\nMy holiday break. I have a half day on Wed and then I&#8217;m off until Jan 3rd! YES. The love\/hate relationship I have with my job is leaning towards the &#8220;hate&#8221; side right now so I&#8217;m excited for the time away.<\/p>\n<p><b>What websites do you always visit when you go online?<\/b><br \/>\nI always check out Twitter, LATimes, LJ, and GMail&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><b>What was the last thing you bought?<\/b><br \/>\nBought some Christmas presents at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crate and Barrel<\/a> last night. Thank goodness the mall was open late on Sunday. We took advantage and finished up our shopping and it wasn&#8217;t even crowded. <\/p>\n<p><b>What do you want right this minute, off the top of your head?<\/b><br \/>\nDinner! I&#8217;m hungry. But I&#8217;m waiting for the hubs to wake up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s your biggest procrastination method?<\/b><br \/>\nLike Ceci, it&#8217;s the internet.
