Yeah, this was my first Xmas without someone in about 6 years. I’ve been living alone since Mr. AFG left me in early July. I have family that I was able to spend the day of the 25th with, but Xmas eve was pretty lonely for me. ---

I have family that I was able to spend the day of the 25th with, but Xmas eve was pretty lonely for me. Im glad you had something to do Christmas day - How you doing now? I wasnt too bothered about LOTS of things to do and lots of people getting in touch. Just wanted those I feel closest to, to care enough about me to call/mail/text and say they cared. Those who truly do care, did. ---

My friends invited me over and we watched cartoons and petted the dogs and cats all night. They even cooked, which, while not a rarity for them, is rather one for me. Pork Chops. I’ve never had them before. Delicious. And lots and lots of episodes of ‘Justice League’. It was… .Nice. Really nice. ---

My mom was actually okay, and they held off on the weight remarks…My Dad did tell me as I hugged him bye, to work on finding a husband though. Sheesh. btw:Hope your cousin did not freeze! ---

Sheesh. > > btw:Hope your cousin did not freeze! Having looked at those pictures, they should hold off on the weight remarks. Which reminds me, as a straight male that has seen those pictures; How _you_ doing? 😃 ---

Just wanted those I feel closest to, to care enough about me to call/mail/text and say they cared. Those who truly do care, did. Thanks! I’m alright - keeping busy as I can. I got some good gift certificates for presents and went out and got a couple new PS2 games, so that helps. 😉 ---
