Didn't Get A Damn Thing From My Christmas List

The Maine never disappoints.
'Santa Stole My Girlfriend' from their new EP '...And A Happy New Year.'
My favorite Christmas song.
I want this EP so bad.
There's three other Christmas songs on it, and although I usually don't like them, The Maine is too amazing to pass up.
Merry Christmas day. Hope it's nice.
I'll try to update later.
xxoo

One Year.

One year.
Three hundred and sixty five days.
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes.
I love you so much.
And I miss you more than words could ever show.
Merry Christmas.

Or Happy Hannukah.

Whichever one you'd rather celebrate.
[Regardless of your religion.]
iloveyou.

It's really really hard coming up with all thes titles for all these birthday posts

Today is Hannah and Elizah's birthday. And I was going to give them just a normal cupcake.
BUT THEN I remembered they're having a 'Christmas in July' themed party. So I was like 'Christmas. Cupcakes. Omigod.'
I love them. I found so many cute ones you couldn't believe it. So. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Whole Thing

Here's the whole thing, start to finish. Well, maybe not everything, but the important stuff.
When we went to look at all the dogs I was little. Like, 6 or 7. I kept picking up guys by accident. I was so excited, you wouldn't even believe it, because this was going to be my dog. My dog that I was going to have from when she was a puppy. So we had driven like hours to this breeder with these golden retrievers and we got to meet all the puppies mom and grandma. We finally decided on a gorgeous little girl, but we couldn't take her yet because she wasn't old enough. So we came back, and on the ride home she kept wanting to come in the back seat with me and Katie. She was absolutely ahdorable.

When Cara was still small, like under a year old, she used to love laying under the little ledges from the cabinets in the kitchen. She would stick out a bit, and once or twice I may have tripped over her by accident [no surprise there], but she didn't care. She loved loved laying there, especially if Debbie was cooking and she dropped something, because she could just run over and scoop it up.
If I tried to typed every little thing I remember about Cara this post would take a really long time. If I did type everything about her and you decided to read the whole thing, you would be sitting at your computer for a week. So I'll try and keep this short.
When Cara was 3, she was diagnosed with cancer, lymphoma. She started going to Angell, and even though I wish she never had to go, I'm glad we had such a good hospital to take her to. Everyone there loved her and she was always good for treatments. She went into remission twice, but the cancer kept coming back. She was really doing great until 3 days before Christmas last year. She started shaking and she was mopey, and not herself at all. We took her to Angell and they kept her over night, and Dad and I went to visit her the next day. She was doing so good, and we just sat there for like half an hour with her in her little area. And I've got to tell you, even though she was doing better, it's scary seeing someone you love connected to an IV. I know it doesn't hurt [I've had one] but it's scary. So I want back home that night. The next night, it's Christmas Eve. Mom, Dave and I were almost ready to go to Auntie Sue's house, when Dad calls. And Cara has a tumor. And we're going to have to put her to sleep. Ha asks if I want them to wait until I can see her, and I'm like, 'Not if she's going to be in pain.' So that's it. I didn't want her to be kept waiting on me if she was going to be in pain. I really, really loved her, more than you would ever know, but I really think she knew that.
I've done a lot of crying over Cara, more than I thought I would. Most of you reading this have probably never seen me really cry, and trust me, you probably don't want to.
One thing that was really hard was going to Dad's and not having a dog there. I had been coming here to see her 5 years and it's just not the same. It was hard seeing that one Christmas present under the tree when all the other ones had been opened. It was hard getting up in the morning and not having her come say hello. It was even hard not seeing her and Blizz fight over the couch.
Now that we're going to be getting a new dog soon, I'm really happy, but I'm scared too. [I cried in the car when Dad told me.] I don't want that all to happen again. And I know that what ever dog we're going to get could never replace Cara, but I don't think we're looking to replace her, I think we're just looking for a dog. Somebody to hug, somebody to have greet you in the morning, somebody that you have to house-train all over again. And you know what?? I absolutely can't wait.
xoxoXO

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Happy Kwanzaa!!

Christmas Eve

On window panes, the icy frost
Leaves feathered patterns, crissed & crossed,
But in our house the Christmas tree
Is decorated festively
With tiny dots of colored light
That cozy up this winter night.
Christmas songs, familiar, slow, Play softly on the radio.
Pops and hisses from the fire Whistle with the bells and choir.
My tiger is now fast asleep On his back and dreaming deep.
When the fire makes him hot, He turns to warm whatever's not.
Propped against him on the rug, I give my friend a gentle hug.
Tomorrow's what I'm waiting for, But I can wait a little more.
[A Calvin and Hobbes Christmas Poem]

Happy Kwanzaa, Too.
[Oh look! It's that little bald boy! Who is, like 6! He bugs me!!]

World Wildlife Fund

So when I was at Dad's Debbie asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I was like uh...I dunno? But there is this really cool thing where people can buy you like a gift card for WWF [World Wildlife Fund] and then you can choose an animal from the magazine or online and adopt it! It's not like they are going to bring it to your house cause it's like, wild and stuff. But the animals are endangered so you are helping them. It's so awesome!! ♥♥
Schoolie, blahhhh.
