Current Wardrobe: warm dark red fleece nightgown, black panties, purple fuzzy slippers
Well yesterday was Christmas day and I had hoped to spend it with my family in San Diego, but after 7 unreturned phone calls and no one calling me back with directions to their house, I ended up spending Christmas alone… *pouts* but it’s ok, I still had fun! I watched Ever After and Clueless and You’ve Got Mail on dvd and just cuddled up eating some cheese hotdogs and raspberry sherbert and of course, some egg nog and just snuggled on the sofa and even used my foot massager on my feet for a while. I worked on a new painting, got a few phone calls from my immediate family, and even Dino called to wish me a merry christmas - and some friends called… so I didn’t feel so alone, I really had a pleasant day.
Around 3 pm our apartment complex had a christmas party by the pool and I kind of have a reputation at the complex as being the “artist” since they can see me painting at just about any time of day on the terrace, so I was asked if I wanted to do face painting for the children. Of COURSE I said yes! I brought out all my acrylic paints and paintbrushes and drew all sorts of things on the kids faces like reindeer, santa claus, stars, angels, holly and berries, red noses, candy canes, etc. It was such a wonderful feeling that I was making these children smile and I didn’t have to spend a penny. Some of the adults wanted their faces painted too, the women wanted cute swirlies around their eyes but no men wanted their faces done lol. The thing is, all the kids in the apartment have always known me by name because they ALWAYS see me painting or drawing on an easel and they often come over to my place to see what I am working on… and this was my chance to make a good impression with their parents - so that they could meet me and know who I am and not be just a stranger. It was quite a nice feeling to make new friends and see the look of joy on their faces!
Later that night, I went to the movies by myself and saw “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” - I didn’t really have the money, but you know, it was christmas day and I was bored and it was only nine dollars. I liked the movie, but damn it was long - way over 3 hours. Afterwards, I went to Denny’s since all the servers know me and I had some coffee and some cheesecake - yummy!
So…. even though no family… I had a wonderful, heart-filled Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed myself!
