My New Year's Kiss
I went back to Texas for the Christmas break, and it was wonderful. Except for the part where it was 70 degrees on the day before I arrived, and as my plane was circling Arkansas deciding when to land...it was 30 and snowing in Dallas/Fort Worth! What? Why!? Well, I never!
It all melted on Christmas day, and then I spent the next week going around on all my little social calls to various friends. Shashana had me over for hot cocoa. Cousin Allison snuck me into Aunt Sandie and Uncle Bob's for dinner. Morley sacrificed his house so Jackie, Jeremy, and I could have people over like Rhonda and Micah and Rachel, and we stayed up late sitting around the kitchen table eating Little Debbie Snack Cakes and giggling. The next day we had breakfast at the ol' T&A truck stop. Staci and I watched the Hangover on PPV and ate popcorn balls. Holly, Cari, and I downed several bottles of wine. Val met me for breakfast at a divey diner in FW that I am SO MAD I didn't know about when I lived there. Then...onto Granbury for some quality time with Jackie and Jeremy who were in town from Seattle. I specifically wanted to be with them on New Year's Eve, because I've spent the last few New Year's Eveses with them.
So there we were, watching Travis Pastrana jump the rally car over the Bellagio or whatever. Then the ball dropped. Everybody on TV was kissing. Jackie and Jeremy started kissing. Jeremy's sister and her husband were kissing. Jeremy's parents were totally making out. And there I was, the seventh wheel and there was no one for me to kiss but the dog. So I did.
The end.
