Watched lots of movies and went to a Christmas dinner

Friday was so gorgeous outside. It was 60°F. After school my son rode his bike to the school for about an hour. I wrapped presents and watched “A Merry friggin Christmas” and later watched “Diggin to China while doing some online surveys. I received a $10 Amazon e-gift card from Swagbucks. My daughter went to her friends house after school and I picked her up at 9pm. My son and I watched “Mowgli : Legend of the jungle” before bed. Don’t forget how nice Friday was... the following morning I woke up to snow. Temperatures rise and fall so fast here in Northeast Pennsylvania. My boyfriend had to do some last minute Christmas shopping so I went along with him. I got a check in he mail for $21.30 from Checkout 51. My boyfriend took his son to his mothers house then spent the night here. We watched “Trailer park boys Xmas special” which wasn’t very good. Sunday my boyfriend and I watched “Dumplin” and then be went to his house and my dog went with him. I got a $5 Amazon e-giftcard from Crowdtap. I made Chocolate cool whip cookies. They did not mix well and did not rise at all for some reason. They were gross so so added chocolate frosting in hopes of making them taste better but they didn’t. I took them to share at my father in laws get Christmas dinner anyway. Usually we get together on Christmas Eve but we had to do it a day early this year because my brother in laws girlfriend lives out of town and had to work Christmas Eve. She got my kids amazing gifts she delivered to my father in laws but her and Munich brother in law broke up so we didnt get to see her. I didn’t know about this until I asked why she wasn’t at the party. My boyfriend came back around 9 and spent the night again. He has 12 days off work and with his son not home he has been able to spend more time here with me. Right before bed I found my Eos lip balm all chewed up and the inside of it was licked bare ick! His naughty dog was the culprit. The photo is of our little pink tree with some presents under it for my nieces and nephew etc. it is good items like coffee and candy bars so I didn’t want to put it under our big tree in the living room where the dogs could get to it.

I love your pink tree. Pink is one of my favorite colors, it looks great with all the gifts wrapped under it. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

@LadyDuck Pink is my favorite color! It was a fiber optic tree but it quit working some years ago so we jus put little ornaments on it now. Not as pretty as it was when it was all lit up but I still like it. I had a wonderful Christmas. I just got to sit down now and I am exhausted. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well!

@shaggin Your tree is beautiful even if it does not light up anymore. I also had a wonderful Christmas, I have just "hosted" the young cat of my neighbors, they sleep late during the holidays, he comes here to have an "early breakfast".

@Tina30219 I went over to my parents house for Christmas dinner and my niece told me how much they all loved those cookies. They want to buy the ingredients to have me make them for them again. I took other food over last night I hated and tonight that I was disappointed with and they enjoyed it. I guess my pickiness pays off for them . I have never heard of very dice. What is that?

@shaggin Oh my you never heard of very dice you are missing out. It is a app you watch videos and can do surveys and you earn rolls and get prizes. I just did my first cashout there the other day and will be getting my item on the 28th can’t wait . Yeah they make out real good when you don’t like something. If you want to know more on very dice ask Sharon she is a expert on the site I am still learning.

@shaggin It was like here. It has been 4 years since my father left us. We never install the Christmas tree during this period. It was only this year.

@GreatMartin yes I do pretty well when I feel like doing it. The survey sites are so boring though so I prefer mylot where I earn much slower unfortunately but it's so much more fun!

@GreatMartin I don’t have time to see people in person I am home with my kids all the time. My son does cyber school and has aspergers so we are together all the time at home. I’d love to socialize in person more even though I am very shy I always feel good after visiting with people.

@shaggin I'm concerned that you might possibly be spending too much time on the Internet and not having a life. It is none of my business but the fact is the Internet makes it easy for people to NOT interact in person which is not good.

@Courtlynn she shopped well in advance of the holiday so she probably figured since she already spent the money it might as well go to who was intended for. She really is such a sweet girl so I feel terrible about them breaking up. I have no idea what happened and they aren't taking about it so I just have to hope they work things out and that they are doing okay.

@Courtlynn before I ever met her she messaged me chatting and said she thinks we will be like sister's. Maybe she was hinting towards marriage early on.. My brother in law never is able to keep a girl around for long so I am inclined to wonder if he started being mean to her like other girls have said about him after they broke up. They lived so far apart (by train 13 hours I think she said) it has to be hard to make it work to only see each other every few months.

@shaggin that is true. though some others may have just donated the gifts to places.. but im glad your kids got them . I get what you're saying, about hoping they work things out. but unfortunately, not everything is meant to be worked out. though I do hope things are good for both.

@Icydoll he and I had a nice time getting to see each other more but he was quite sick so he slept on the couch downstairs most of the nights so his coughing wouldn't keep us up.
