Tuesday 5th March 2019 - “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”

alright it’s late and tomorrow is CHRISTMAS so let’s get going. today was good! I slept in as I have been doing till like 12ish then got up and grabbed the last cinnamon raisin bagel that I hid so I could have it for breakfast this morning 😂 so I did that and then went on my planned Target run to grab a prescription and pads, along with a few other items for my parents that required going to the grocery store across the street from Target as well, because Target does not sell Italian bread and pea crisps (those snack things, my mother is addicted to them) so that was fun. When I got back I chilled out for a bit before getting started on making the cheesecake which is like, super fucking easy and not just because I’ve been doing it for the past like, 3 or 4 years lol. I mean, it’s just really simple. beat cream cheese in sugar, add eggs, add the candy cane chocolate and peppermint mocha coffee creamer (which was only included in the recipe because it was a sponsored post but w/e) and then pour it over the graham cracker crust and stick it in the oven. so easy! So I did that and shortly after we had dinner, which was lasagna in good Italian tradition (since we don’t have a lot of family around for such occasions we don’t do the typical Christmas Eve feast of seven fish because that would be kinda overkill for the 6 of us). When I finished eating I ran upstairs to do my make up and put my dress on for church. Christmas Eve church is weird, because everyone you went to school with whose family’s also go to the church (which is most of them) gets dragged out there by their parents so you’re seeing people you haven’t seen in like 8-10 years and you’re all just pointedly ignoring each other’s presence because neither of you actually want to have an interaction, lol. so I try to look cute at least. the dress I was wearing is this green one I got from the saks off fifth outlet like a year ago when I just raided their dress section for a bunch of cute ones I’d find uses for and I hadn’t worn this one yet but it was originally $170 but was marked down to like $50 so that was a steal and it looked super cute so I was pleased with that. Cheesecake finished baking and I turned off the oven and cracked the door open and left it in there, which is supposed to help prevent cracks from sudden changes in temperature, before we headed out for church. the service is always nice though, it’s pretty much the same but it’s enjoyable, start with some Christmas music for a few songs then do the two minutes where it’s like “say hi to people around you!” at which point I got to say hi to two of my friends (who are married) that I went to college with and I went to high school with the guy before that and I legit hadn’t seen them since Christmas 2016 so that was nice to see them and chat a bit, we talked after the service too and might do something later this week so that should be fun. Then there’s the whole pastor’s offering and singing by like two people who sing every year because they have absolutely insane voices (like holy fucking shit you’d lose your mind) and then close with a short message so that’s always nice. We were able to sneak out without speaking to too many people which is honestly a miracle for my family because my parents know everyone. Drove home and had some cookie dessert time, then milled about for a bit and did our traditional Christmas Eve thing where my siblings and I each open one present from one of our other siblings. I opened one from my older brother and it was a Silver VIP pass to Wizard World Chicago next August which had me like ??? like this is awesome haha but whattttt????? the only thing is right now it looks like that might be the same weekend as HVFF Nashville but who the fuck knows what’s going on with heroes and villains right now after the Portland debacle so I’m not too worried. After that we put on The Polar Express which is our Christmas Eve tradition, so that’s always enjoyable. Shortly after finishing that I headed upstairs and started getting ready for bed and now we are here and I should be getting to sleep because Christmas and presents in the morning which is very exciting! I semi-accidentally (it wasn’t my intention anyway) peeked at the amazon recent orders and saw someone just got delivered a life sized cardboard cutout of Supergirl and I’m just like ????? this has to be a present I’m going to get lol so that is going to be wild!! But yeah, should be a fun time. Until then, signing off. Goodnight my dears. Have a very Merry Christmas, or if you don’t celebrate, have a wonderful and lovely Tuesday.
