A recap of sorts

Christmas Eve was awesome.
I finally got so see everyone. And my five month old cousin! :D
He's adorable. And the fuzzy blue hat I knitted for him is *adorable* on him.
Food was good.
Today...not too shabby.
I had to run to work *twice.* The manager was "busy" AGAIN at nine.
I don't know when you're busy...if you had just told me a certain time in the first place, it would have saved each of us plenty of time.
:P
Started getting my schedule worked out.
I get 12-7 tomorrow.
...joy.
I don't know how much else I'll be working, but she had a chart she was using to figure out work times, and everyone else had maybe one day off/week and four to five hour shifts all other six days.
...I am NOT working that much...I hope she doesn't put me down for that much, because if that is the case, I *am* saying something. It's only a part time job. 20 hours a week at the most. No more.
Anyhoo.
Gifting was pretty sweet.
I got a good Christmas CD, another Coldplay X&Y to replace the one I wore out (I'm making copies, just in case), and the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack, which I will admit it *is* odd music, but knowing the show, I love it.
Annd...the movies DaVinci Code and Fargo, extra batteries for my camera, Pirates of the Carribean posters, and a Harry Potter desktop calendar.
And some spending money, I'm hitting the doorbusters hard tomorrow. wOOt!
Dinner was amazing...homemade manicotti, which are giant mostocholli noodles filled with riccotta and covered with marinara and all that goodness. Oh, it was happy, my first homemade Italian feast since Easter. Hooray for leftovers!!
My Grandma was interesting today...to say the least.
I really, *really* don't care for her.
Yes...sounds mean...but...
She's not very nice. On the surface, maybe, but once you get to know her, no.
I'm really the only one in the family she likes. She's not happy with my dad 'cause he's a truck driver and didn't go to college/start a business like the rest of his family, who are all snobs out in cali. Never liked my mom, exclaimed in public numerous times the wedding wasn't going to happen, she wouldn't allow it (30 years later...that did a lot of good), and dislikes my brother since he takes after my mom's side of the family in appearance.
*But* she adores me. I'm like a princess (gags). She's not so obvious about it now, at least not towards my brother, as he's old enough to notice, but oh the favoritism she played on my part when he was too young to understand.
So today wasn't allll that bad...gifts were even between everyone, which is rare. Usually mine is considerably larger than everyone else's. She just blabs on and on and on about goodness knows what, her ailments (which she's 86, there's enough to fill a book when she starts talking), the ailments of her nieghbor's grandson's cousin's daughter (and no, that was NOT an exaggeration), and complaints in general.
That was rantish....
It was a very happy Christmas. Despite the work and grandmother bit.
And now...energy is draining, as my brother still insists on bein awake at 6 am to open gifts, and my nap as severely interrupted because I had to go to work quickly so...
Merry Christmas!!!
