Holidays and Lazy Days.

  It has been a long time since I have written in this thing.  I have had a very active social life and my grandma has not.  She spent the last few months in the same spot on the couch, doing the same puzzle book.  She's also been filling up the DVR with things that she never watches because she does puzzles the whole time the TV is on.  That is completely besides the point.

  This year I am proud to say that we decorated the house for Christmas about four weeks in advance.  I am proud because last year we decorated the house six days before Christmas and what we did could hardly be considered decorating.  We basically got some throw blankets that were Christmas colors and put out some fake plants that were Christmas-ish and my gram swears are pretty.  We only did that much, because my aunt had an intervention and told us that we were lazy Scrooges.  So this year Dennis, gram and I set aside the weekend after Thanksgiving to do nothing but decorate.  It happened like this:

  They both woke up and I stayed in bed, full of turkey and sweet dreams.  When I finally woke up I begged one of them to make breakfast and when that didn't happen, I got up and made it myself.  Then Dennis and gram started decorating and I plopped myself in front of the computer and played Diner Dash every few minutes.  When I thought they might notice the fact that I wasn't paying attention or in the room with them, I'd put the game on hold and go back in pretending to be one of Santa's elves right with them.  We ended up getting everything done, but very slowly.  Then spent the rest of the weekend eating junk food and talking about how much we DON'T want to put the decorations away. At the end of it gram told me that Dennis reminded her of my pop, because it was like he anticipated every move she made and where she wanted everything.  She can keep him.


  The holidays were nice and since then Dennis and I have been trying to diet and gram has been trying to force-feed us her food.  It's an ongoing battle and as of right now I am winning.  Only because my new android tells me how much food I am allow to eat and yadda yadda.   Speaking of the new phone, I have a sound clip from The Hangover as my text message notification and every time it goes off gram thinks she hears voices.  We're just going to go with it.  It's pretty funny to see her react to the voices in her head. That is all I have for now, so peace out.
