Day 8 is here! It seems like this whole “9 days” deal has FLOWN by! It’s really quite remarkable… Or I guess it’s not really. It’s just consecutive days of blogging. Not really remarkable at all when you think about it. Oh well, so much for hyping it up.
Oh! Here’s something! For hype’s sake let me announce that this blog is coming to you from the East Coast! It’s true, I’m in good ol’ Florida right now. I woke up at the [butt] crack of dawn this morning (that would be 4am Pacific Time… ugh). Now don’t give me any, “That’s only 7am Eastern Kaycee…” because that is NOT the point! The essence is that I got VERY LITTLE sleep (like 4 hours) and then traveled all day only to arrive in Fort Lauderdale and put on a smiley face for all the Christmas Eve festivities. Needless to say, I’m exhausted. But, I’ve got good news: As you can tell, my exhaustion has not stopped me from carrying on my 9 Days of KtotheChristmas. :D
So as I mentioned, I spent most of today traveling. I don’t want to sit here and complain (woe is me…) but the travel thing today- not pleasant.
When I landed in Ft. Laudy, my dad and Marcia’s Mike picked me up and brought me back to Mike and Marcia’s place. Let me clarify a few things real quick: I say “Marcia’s Mike” because both of my wonderful older sister’s are involved with Mikes. One, Marcia, is married, and the other Jennifer, is engaged. Different Mikes, obviously. Haha. So yes, I must specify. My next clarification is why I’m landed in lovely Fort Lauderdale. That’d be because we’re spending Christmas this year in Coconut Creek at Marcia and Mike’s house. It was a pretty outstanding arrival. Before I even got into the house, my mom came out to give me a hug and Nathan (my little nugget nephew) came out as well… pantsless!!! It was SO cute! He was just standing in the driveway with a polo shirt and a diaper. I couldn’t help but smile. I’d post the picture but I didn’t get clearance yet from his mommy. She’s a bit of a stickler about what goes out on the internet (aka Facebook) of that little fella, and rightfully so! :) I did however manage to get this picture of him after Christmas Eve mass tonight. :)
How cute is he!?!?!
- He looks like a little limo driver. Lol. And here are a few other pictures from tonight…
My wonderful parents :D
Me and my lovely sisters
Alright, I skipped ahead a little there. I got home, grabbed some lunch (even though it was 4pm, it was 1pm my time). I shouldn’t say that ‘my time’ thing. I really hate that cliche. I don’t OWN time. It’s not MINE. When I arrive on the East Coast, the eastern time zone is the one I’m in. I don’t get to revert back… of course, I’ll probably never stop doing that because it’s important to get traveler’s sympathy. ;) Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.
So I got lunch, took a REALLY quick shower, and headed out to church. Afterwards, we did a Christmas Eve potluck type deal (it’s a tradition) at Marcia’s Mike’s parents’ house. :) I ate A LOT. It was glorious! Haha. Just what the holidays are about, right? Right.
Wake, fly, land, eat, shower, church, eat. That was my day. Haha. I also wrapped a few presents this evening and now I’m blogging. Blog! That’s an important one! :) But the best one… sleeeeeeeeeeep. :) I’m fixing to do that right now, just have to blow up my bed. Haha. Yeah, that’s right, I’ve been sentenced to an air mattress. (Woe is me.) ;)
Alrighty, thanks for reading… till next time (TOMORROW!!!! CHRISTMAS DAY!!!). Gnight!
