On the 9th day of Christmas
I am sitting in my parent’s house right now, which in a few days will be my permanent residence for the next… while. I think it will be easy to stick to a schedule I set for myself while I live here, with only minor distractions from noise and food. Food is always a good distraction though, so I think that actually counts as a pro to living here. Last night my dad and I stayed up until one in the morning watching The Lord of the Rings movies. We got about halfway through The Two Towers. Those movies are incredible. It will be nice to spend more time with my family before they move to Missouri.
I decided that I want to try to read a magazine every week. What are the good magazines out there anyway? I need some direction.
Tonight Jason and I are going on our Christmas date where we pick out our own present from the other person. This tradition has always been one of my favorite things we do together. We will go shopping for our families and each other and usually go to dinner or go look at Christmas lights. I am slightly concerned about the crowded mall, but I also know the busyness of the night will be fun. We can fight off the crowds. Maybe I should get one of those child wristband leash things so we can attach ourselves together so we won’t get lost. I think I remember having one of those on my wrist when I was younger… That may or may not be true.
I think I need to work on smooth endings to my articles. Sometimes it’s hard to know when to stop.
