happy 53rd birthday, tay!
today is my dad's birthday. my sister, mom, and i went to mass this morning, then we went to the cemetary, and after that we went to eat breakfast and my brother joined us. i think some people think it is a little strange that we still acknowledge my dad's birthday, but i guess that's just the way we do things. hmmmmm....i really don't want to get into being sad about it being my dad's birthday.

anyway, i went and did some last touches for christmas today. i completely forgot that we didn't get meya anything for christmas. i bought her some new bowls. she didn't actually need the bowls, but me and andy wanted to get her one of those food stands for big dogs so they don't have to lean too far down when they eat. and they come with bowls, so i really had no other choice. i like her bowls now, but maybe if we're lucky, the old bowls will fit in the stand thingy... okay, why am i putting so much thought into this? i don't know. i also finished up andy's gifts... finally. i need to find boxes for the stuff. it is still sitting in the trunk of my car because andy is home. but i think i am really done now. i hope so, at least.

i want to lay down and take a tiny nap, but i have nowhere to go. ronald, his cousin, and his uncle are watching a basketball game in the living room, and andy and his friends are watching a DVD in our room, so i have nowhere to go. maybe i can go to my mom's house. eh, we'll see. if i get tired of looking for a place to relax, i just might do that. only 3 1/2 more shopping days till christmas. lots of luck for those of you who have more people to buy for.
