Waking up this morning next to Hym. I am so happy that Hy came into my life and this will be our second Christmas together.

Santa bringing me a Kindle Fire and cute sterling silver ring for Christmas from Hym.

Looking forward to Christmas with my family on Thursday.

I am sitting in my living room looking at the lights on my Christmas tree, writing this on my new iPad, while she is fast asleep in bed.

I am looking forward to 2013 with happiness and hope in my heart, reflecting on all that is good in my life.

That makes me smile.

Merry Christmas to all Planet residents and visitors.

Watching Hym make me a DELICIOUS Christmas breakfast...

Opening the start of our presents last night

Watching the furkids open their presents

Making new traditions and memories together

Teddy fixed our Keurig! <3

He's the master of my universe.....

To many things to list... what a wonderful day!

What didn't make me smile today! It was a perfect day. Beautiful holiday with my precious angels, perfect yummy dinner in courses ...first, artisan olive bread w/ dipping sauce & cheese cubes - then, delicious Xmas salad which is just a romaine salad w/ cranberries and walnuts, Italian dressing - then, an awesome pesto basil pasta entree that was to die for - and lastly, pumpkin cheesecake. Drinks of amaretto and cranberry spritzers, a rum shot here and there = ) fun gift opening, so much laughter and to top everything off.... it ❆snowed. Mhmmmm magical Christmas snow everywhere! It's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! We were out playing in it having so much fun. I could not be any happier than I am right now.

Love.

Spending the day with my girl as she did everything she could to make me feel not so alone on this Christmas day. Thank you for each smile you put on my face today. (f)

Giving the baked goods I have prepared over the last month, unexpected gifts from others, spending quality time with family, and the comfort of knowing I am living independently, feel very complete, and do not need someone else to help me to feel competent, happy, and valuable. I am blessed and for that reason I smile.

My dad and stepmonster showed up about lunchtime. Luckily, I had about 10 gallons of fire roasted chili on hand that I made last night. It was odd. They handed me a card with 135 dollar gift cards from random restaurants and a 50 dollar bill. I then offered them chili and cake balls. It felt like a scene from napolean dynamite. He ended up banging around on my piano and we sang for several hours. I gave them a painting upon departure. The step said...we have no place to hang it. I told her I could give it to someone else then. She said no. I said OK. My dad then asked me to record some tracks. I said OK. This day was so weird. It makes me smile.
