My Christmas Craft

So, now that Jess, Eric and Carly have received their Christmas Craft gift, I can share. I made balls this Christmas. A bunch of balls. Why? Because Chicks like balls. I started to order them online and decided I wasn't going to pay $15 for a monogrammed ball...so I made my own...and then I made more and more and more...I've put anything you can imagine in a clear glass ball. Here are some pics to prove it...I'm kind of pissed that my favorite two...one for Andrea and one for Joy were wrapped before I got pictures of them...

I made one similar to this for Andrea, Kelly, Becky, Joy, Jess and a little one for Carly...all black and white filled with white feathers and topped with a 2009 ribbon and pearls (This is Andrea's).

Then I made "personalized" ones. So, Becky loves the beach and I made her a ball with sand and shells.

Kelly's was all sparkly like this...and like her...

For Joy I did "earthy" and I did a "traveling" one for Andrea. I also did Christmas-y ones and snow-y ones. You name it. Now I think I should stop. There's really no use for balls outside of Christmas.

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

What is the definition of love? Some anonymous person asked me this in the 'comments section' many blogs ago. A hard one to answer...everyone has a different answer...I am slowly admitting to myself that I have never truly been in love...I have felt deep affection for people, and I have had my feelings manipulated, and I have definitely been in lust...But I honestly can say that I've never been in love on my own terms...I'm so ready to be swept completely off my feet...

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...
