i'm incredibly bored. i didn't get home last night until 7 or 7:30 perhaps, and already i'm tired of this sitting around home. no matter though, tonight brings excitement. excitement of the willows kind at any rate. ali has to go to the convalescent home to do crafty things for the old people for key club, and i might be joining her, then its off to denny's with the old willows crew. it will be a fun-filled evening fo sheezy. or something along those lines.

i think christmas is cancelled at my house this year, or at least renovated. my family has suddenly decided this whole buying things for people is a bad idea. "we" have decided that no body wants a gift someone else picked out for you in hopes that you'll like it, that you'll have to worry about returning. i've never really had a whole lot of problems with people buying things for me that i'll like, especially since my ma always asks what we want and i tell her, and its really a great process. but the new method is okay too i guess, just sort of strange and silly. and it takes all the fun and surprise out of it. basically we go shopping and pick out and try on what we want. and then my mom buys it. and then either she's giving it to us, or if she's in the mood, she'll wrap it and put it under the tree. she's a big fan of having lots of wrapped things under the tree. its a nice look. so i guess that works out fine. i mean, we get to want things and get a few of them, my mom gets to see the tree look nice with presents underneath, and our house really is decorated lovely, and we have a beautiful tree this year....but i'm really going to miss the fun of opening up boxes full of unknown gifts. but the world won't end. and we'll all be happy.

now i'm going to go bake goods. thats always tasty no matter how you do presents.
