Day 9 of Leave

Mason's playing Black OPS II at the moment. It's pretty sweet!! A bit on the futuristic side. The guns are really weird and the maps are super unique; I kind of dig it! Yet... that doesn't mean I'm going to spontaneously start playing war games... Hehe. They're still a little much for me.

In the morning, grandma Deb Deb and Mason went out to do last minute Christmas shopping. I got to sleep in :D I needed it. I wasn't looking forward to being Mrs. I-Want-To-Destroy-The-World again... I'm glad I'm in a better mood. Jesus, I'm getting sick and tired of being depressed while with Mason!! Sometimes, I can't control it...

Speaking of Christmas shopping, I need to buy Mason more gifts!! Sheesh, I only have two :/ I wonder how many he got for me??? I hope not an ungodly amount - he should save his money!!!

... Same as for myself but STILL!! ... :)

I'm having a good time down here in OR. I missed it. It's nice to bullcrap with Chris again and cackle with grandma Debra and share stories with the auntie and uncle.

They BOUGHT me stuff!!! I didn't expect that. Now I feel sort of bad for not buying them anything... I was mainly focused on Mason, haha. Well!! There is always next year and the year after that. I have plenty enough time to get everybody everything they deserve!!!

I better get a job soon... Hehe.
