Not a Creature was Sturring...

Except for my inner child.

Why do you ask? Well it's almost Christmas of course. Christmas, vacation, or if Adam Ant had a concert where I live were the times I get insomnia. Christmas was the worst cause my brain kept rolling around with, "What am I getting?!?!" Even during my teens and young adult days I still had this problem. Just recently I figured out I need to medicate myself, so I can sleep. It works until I wake up and then well give it up I'm up.

Now why am I blogging in the wee hours of Dec 24th?

I think my inner child is gonna be sad this year.

Yes, I know what I typed, but it's true. This is the year my inner child will have to take a backseat to the adult part of me.

Again I hear you ask why.

I was not able to get all my shopping done. If it weren't got the Internet, I would have been screwed. Why? Well Dad's car suddenly became out of commission, and we (Mom, Dad, and myself) had to depend on baby sister.

Anyway, I was not able to finish my Christmas shopping. Add a leaning Christmas tree (one of the legs is bowed), and you see how my spirits might be dampened.

But it's not all about the present, right? That's very true even though my inner child would love to have a gob of gifts, I will make up for that by ordering the Vana D'eil collection 2009 on Saturday. Now this is what I hate: I hate not being able to give gifts to the people I love. Heck, I wanted to get gifts for Buddy and Sammy my parents' two dogs, but wasn't able to do so.

I wanted to give more than just one gift to my niece, but not this year. I did tell her that she'll be getting one gift from me this time around, and she said that was okay.

Growing up sucks even on the inside.

Now be that as it may Christmas Eve and Day will be good. Why? Dang you ask that a lot. ;) Cause I'll be with my family. We will have loads of goodies to eat, watch some movies, open the gifts we do have for one another, and be thankful.

Also my niece is going to show me Animal Crossing for the Wii. :D
