Burned my hand trying to turn the chicken over in the oven. Owwwie!

I've been out of touch...SO emotional lately, which sucks. I like to think I am strong and tough and able to handle stuff, but the truth is if you hit me the right way, I crumble like feta cheese. Mmmm...cheese.

Anyway, been missing the Kid something fierce. Had a fight with Momster and she called me crying (making me feel like both sludge and the Worst Daughter EVER). Argh.

JP is the sweetest though, doing cute little things like going into Best Buy and immediately getting in the 3-mile-long line so I can shop at my leisure and then not have to wait to buy my stuff. <3 Today he bought me a huge Hello Kitty ballerina balloon with all kinds of sparkly ribbons. I am obviously, in addition to the Worst Daughter EVER, the Brattiest Girlfriend to boot. Feeling oh-so-unworthy.

Also out of whack: every year our family and my aunt's brood get together for New Year's at my parent's house. Lots of drinks, snacks, fireworks, movies, and drunken conversations ensue. But not this year. Everyone is scattering. My aunt and a couple of her daughters will go to one of their homes. Paul and Davy-boy are staying home. The Kid isn't here to demand we start having cocktails at noon. It's all unnatural. Wah!

So, I will go to my cousin's house for awhile and return home to be with JP at midnight (he works tonight and early tomorrow so he doesn't want to go out). We shall then spend the rest of the evening immersed in Babylon 5! *geeks out*

So, happy new year all...be safe and remember that self-pity is da devil (and I am it's faithful minion...bwahahaha!)
