Lauren came home from California tonight. She was there. Did I mention that? I had this crazy day with all these crazy emotions and I started and ended it in hot pink running shorts but I never actually got to run.
So I didn't have a chance to take any pictures during the day. Unlike yesterday. I really liked yesterday's blog.
I made Lauren and Rachel take some photo booth pictures with me and I made them take quite a few since "this is the last 13 days of my blog so it can't suck." I don't know if that's very good logic, but I recall saying that I make the rules around here.
We tried to smile but when one of us...me...said we were prettier on Christmas...we all felt a little sad. So we just made faces instead.
A lot of interesting things happened in between pictures. Or, in pictures that I deleted.
Some of those things not pictured include:
one or more person's face being licked
one or more pieces of clothing being displaced
one hand gesture that made my mother scoff
and a rather savage form of tickling
This was when Lauren told us that she apparently she always tends to make "seductive" faces.
Rachel and I discovered that we do not share that talent.
I sure do love my psycho sisters.

Did you know that a study at UCLA found that in order to maintain emotional and physical health, men and women need 8 to 10 meaningful touches each day?

I think I did pretty well this month. Sometimes I cringe when I'm picking my top ten, but this month I actually had to narrow it down! The last full month of my blog and I finally hit my stride. Of course, it could be because I went to New York and because it's Christmas time. How many of these photos involve trees? How little of these photos include people?
By the way, I'm letting you vote multiple times this month. It'll be one less difficult decision you'll have to make at the beginning of this year.

We always go to my grandparent's house on New Year's Day. My Mimi normally makes black eyed peas and we munch on whatever leftovers we have from the holidays. Today my aunt Mary Alice made chicken and dumplings and I had an indiscernible amount of servings. It hit the spot.
My dad got to take his dad hunting today. Unfortunately, they didn't see much and it was cold. But as you can see by the walls behind him, my Papa has had his fair share of hunting adventures. He isn't exactly smiling in the picture I chose, but I like it because he was telling me about the first time he took my dad hunting. He was four-years-old, said he just followed him everywhere he went. I like that he can remember it. Must have been a cool moment, taking your first son hunting with you. He couldn't have known how much my dad would take to it.
Good lookin' duo.
Meanwhile, we played games and snacked some more. I wore workout clothes but didn't put them to use. I think there's a cheese stain on my hoodie. Alas, tomorrow is a new day!
Chris sent me this picture of me throwing his son in the air. Keane was laughing so hard that it got caught in his chest. I just LOVE playing with that boy. I mean, we all do. He was the only other cousin there today, so we had to stick together. He keeps us entertained, that's for sure.
Oh my goodness, it's January. My blog ends this month. Maybe something cool will happen in the next 18 days, like a series finale. Things will get really exciting and you'll be at the edge of your seat! Maybe I'll get a movie offer for my life story, or maybe I'll get a job in France, or maybe I'll receive some mysterious flowers (with a note that I shouldn't trust anyone around me because they've all been planted in my life from day one), or maybe I'll just try to meet someone and fall in love real fast.
My promise to you: the most exciting thing to happen in the next 18 days will NOT be me finishing the scarf that I'm knitting.

Happy New Year's Eve! I took some pictures today but I didn't take this one. I stole this one from Rachel. Since I'm almost finished with my blog, I am allowing this. I am allowing just about anything. But I think this picture sums up NYE better than the ones I took. I'll show you.
We started off the night with some mini golf!
I generally don't like mini golf. But it sounded pretty fun tonight and it was. Mini golf came through.
Uncle Robert, considering his next move.
Joel, parkouring his way through the course.
Dad, positioning himself in a silly manner. Silly dad!
But...
He's a pretty good shot.
Uncle Jay, filming the action.
Mom, posing.
Me, posing.
And this crazy man, doing I don't know what.
After golf, we went to the movies. All of us split up so we could see whatever we wanted and then all of us met up after. We came back to our house for food and drinks and games. Earlier, we'd made BBQ meatballs, caramel corn, deviled eggs, hot corn dip (thanks Christine!), and a few other things. I like making appetizers. I'll be doing that more often.
We had fun at the house.
Right?
Right?
....Right?
Riiiiiight.
Note to self: always carry magnets of my head for situations like this. Also, try not to spill wine on people's magnet heads.
Mmmmk it's almost 3AM. I need my beauty sleep for 2011.
