Long but Not So Long Day

Good Evening! I hope you had an absolutely wonderful day because mine was just delightful!

I meant to write this morning but I was being lazy so let me completely re-cap for you.

Yesterday ,as you know, I went to my moms house for Christmas and we did the whole family dinner thing which was cool. Everything was wonderful until my step fathers darn near ENTIRE family came over and my mom didn't even know they were coming... it was all bad. But we are socialites so we adjusted and entertained.

I also succeeded in crashing my mothers laptop while deleting some of her old files and cleaning out her system I accidentally deleted some stuff that she needed and completely messed it up

BUT

My girlfriend is AMAZING and she walked my mom step by step over the phone to fix her laptop. It was amazing to listen to. Especially because my mom wasn't too fond of her and my girlfriend wasn't to fond of my mother. At the end of the conversation my mother was offering to buy dinner and they wanted to meet. WHAT!? WOW! What a turn around. I'm estatic about it though. I mean there is no better feeling that knowing you mom approves of and likes the person you date. Even though me and mama aren't extremely close I still look for her approval in a lot whether she knows it or not. It's almost like now that I don't need her approval anymore I seek it. Odd.

I planned on going out to the movies today with my big sister but... parents can be a pain and they can easily pull the plug on your plans no matter how "grown" you may think you are... so we ended up not going. There's always tomorrow, right? I hope.

Speaking of that... Rhajah really irritated me this morning... (Wait, I don't know if you know who Rhajah is... Rhajah is my girlfriend (I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER NAME!)) Anywho... she deeply irritated me this morning because I was talking about my New Years plans and going skating or whatever and she said she didn't have any plans. That kind of bummed me out because I think people should always do something fun and exciting on New Years because it's a New Year you know? Start it off right! But she said she didn't have anything to do. I wanted to invite her out with me but I just didn't think she would have much fun with my friends and myself so... I didn't. Instead I just told her that I didnt want her just sitting around on New Years so of course she had to go sarcastic talking about how she would just go out to the club all night. I guess maybe she thought that would irritate me but it didnt. Heck, I almost don't care where she goes as long as she has some fun. She sees New Years as just another random day and to me it's like a blessing, ITS HUGE! Not only is it another day someone, somewhere, somehow woke you up for... but it's a new year, A NEW DECADE. (That may only be 2 years long according to some lol). I dont know ya'll, sometimes I worry about her.

I think my main worry about my relationship with her is Christmas... It's like she hates it. i love Christmas... don't really care about that whole "Keep the Christ in Christmas" crap but I am thankful for all the gifts I receive and I feel good seeing other people light up when they see what I got them. I suppose I could do without the lights and the tree... I want her to feel comfortable when I move in with her next year so I can sacrifice some... well... A LOT. But she's sacrificed a lot for me too so I won't complain. That's my main fear... I realize there are some friends that I will have to get rid of because it's more important to me to keep the peace in our household than have random friends. Some people say I shouldn't have to do that. Truth is... I don't necessarily have to. Rhajah isn't holding a gun up to my head and saying get rid of those people, I want to and I'm willing to. Just to make her happy. Her happiness is like my 2nd priority, only second to my education and getting this degree.

Well its 7:39 and even though I haven't done anything I'm actually exhausted. I need to start thinking about my New Years Resolutions... Any ideas?

Good night.
