and everyone was there. now i don’t like parts of my family, at all, so this was quite a trip. i made sure to keep my smile, listen to what was being said without reacting, and internally rolling my eyes. i now have an additional arsenal of reasons to not visit az for the holidays. it really is too bad that i have this sort of relationship with part of my family, but it is out of my control. one thing i definitely know for a fact is that you can’t change people.
otherwise my holidays were great! i got to meet my baby second cousin. riley is her name, and she is super cute. and she actually was content with sitting in my lap for a decent period of time (babies normally hate me). i got to see my aunt for a longer than normal visit, which was nice. i also got to see a good friend from pratt before she moves to portland and becomes less convenient to see.
there was a lot to do over the trip, so it really wasn’t a vacation. but i got a lot done (i saw everyone i wanted to see.)
now onto the new year. new year’s eve was incredibly uneventful. watched the bond movie i gave the boyfriend for christmas and made pork tenderloin for dinner. new year’s day we walked all around brooklyn and ended up at the new carousel pavilion. it was “two bucks to pony up” so we went for a ride. that night exhausted we just picked up some groceries, made dinner, and chilled out. sans tv. (part of a new year’s resolution as a couple.)
other resolutions include: making and taking lunch more often to work (me), more sex (him, what a bad joke), making dinner and making it healthier (us), focusing more on future endeavors (him), being more structured with our time (us), and being more productive with free time (me). we’ll see how we do.
