Day 10 of San Diego

We calmed the 21st birthday issue. Mason is still a little unsure about what might happen, but I understand why. We can't tell the future. I know I say I won't get drunk, yet I don't even know how I'll know I'm drunk. I've never been drunk before! Or buzzed! Or... all of the other levels you deal with while drinking alcohol. I probably won't drink many beverages. Most of the alcohol I've tasted was either too strong for me or tasted gross. I guess I'm picky with my alcohol.

And I'm not completely interested in it!

However, I do want to have a few drinks on my 21st just as a celebratory thing. Not to feel the buzz of becoming drunk, not to get out of control... only to test the waters. Only to use it as an accessory for the party. Afterwards, I might not have another drink until something special comes up.

So, my day was not too shabby. I hung out at home as the folks, I think grandma J, Uncle Jay and Aunty Jill, Willow and Jaylee went to take pictures with Santa Claus. I suppose Santa decided to give the folks an early gift from the Bose store because my parents came home with a large Bose speaker. Thanks, Santa! Now bring me Johnny Depp.

I'm excited for Christmas! I made an actual Christmas list this year. Mason is on top while all of the "wants" are below him. :)

If Mason comes home for the holidays, I will crap my pants.

I better not wear any pants, then...
