I'm supposed to go back home tomorrow to be with my folks and bring her back with me. But the friggin roads are sheets of ice and I'm out in the mountains. It doesn't look like my car is moving.
Anyone got ideas on what to do before I go stir crazy? I don't have cable but I thought about getting netflix or some shit while I guzzle all the wine I can.
Who else will be alone this year? Let's see hands!

OK, I'm a few days late, but.....4th year in a row for me after 43 years of having at least SOMEONE and 20 years of having my most important someone. I'm invited places, but that night I'm not in the best of moods. I NEED to be by myself.
I watched A Christmas Story about 4 times, cooked, wrapped, cried and got ready for Christmas. Got up early and spent 14+ hours of Christmas with friends and family which I LOVED. One of our friends is (was) pregnant and was induced that night so the 3 of us with Dec. birthdays were giving her lectures on what not to do with a Christmas kid
(she was born at 6:15 last night).
There was so much drama leading up to Christmas with my brother deciding we weren't doing enough for his kids that I channeled a lot of bad emotions into being ticked at him
He realized he had overreacted and all was good. But it took my mind off the planning during the week.
I no longer decorate my house. Nothing. But travel between several houses on Christmas, having pre and post Christmas dinners out with friends, and next year we're planning to have Christmas somewhere there's snow - and I love getting all the pictures of my friends and their kids!! My fridge is always full of magnets and pics.
I would love to tell you it gets better, but I swear it's like it's 2005 all over again.
Big hugs!!!
