It is late on this Christmas night and things this weekend have been one to remember. Wow is about all I can say. I am not the most festive of people and my usual Holiday chat is Bah Hum Bugg. I love giving, but the whole scene just annoys me. This year has had some really interesting moments. To start off, we have to back up to Saturday. My oldest sister and her husband and their dog (Melissa, Stephen, and Tonka) were suppose to fly in on Saturday. Since they didn't check their flights anytime before, they didn't know that American Airlines moved up their flight by 2 hours. They missed it and their connecting flight out of Dallas. So, what happens now? Well, they drive from Abilene to Amarillo, where my Aunt and Uncle live, and I drive down to pick them up. That's right, I left Gunnison around 9 and drove to Amarillo and then back. We got in about 12:30 on Sunday morning. During this trip, a cat came in my parents house and both the dogs (Thor and Domino) decided to try and kill the little cat. My parents stopped it, but in the process my mom got knocked down and got hurt. She has to make an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow to have her knee checked out and probably have surgery to repair it. The cat did live. Yesterday was pretty much an uneventful day, which we are thankful for. Today Michelle, Tucker, Aubrey (my niece), and my Grandmother flew in. Their flight was delayed because the crew decided they didn't want to work their flight. They found another crew to work it and they got in about an hour late. Thor has been good, but he doesn't know what to think and he doesn't like Tonka. He wants to kill and eat him, I believe but my word is law to him and he obeys me to a flaw.
So, about 4 I had had enough so I decided to take a nap. Here it gets interesting for me. Tiffany called today. Yes, my ex-girlfriend calls for the first time in about a year to see how I am doing. I missed the call, but she left a message. I called her back and we talked for at least 45 minutes. It was a great talk and things are better between us and I am thankful. Honestly, there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about her. Most times I regret giving her up. I know that is sad and pathetic on my part, but it is the truth. She truly is a special and wonderful woman, but I digress.
Everything got started again around 6:30 when some friends of ours came over and we did the whole commercialized Christmas again with them. That lasted till well past 9 and now I am finally back into my own bed. All in all, it has been a wonderful time. I do get the pleasure of taking Melissa, Stephen, and Tonka to Denver on Wednesday to catch a flight into Amarillo. They could fly out of DIA for around $200/person and save me about 6 hours. I am grateful that they are willing to do that. Saturday was a long day and a long drive. Wednesday won't be too bad. Well, I hope all your Christmas memories were pleasant and wonderful. This is definitely a Christmas to remember, or forget. I don't know yet.
