I got to play with this sweetheart for a few minutes. She lives somewhere around here, and was sitting on top of this Pepsi machine across from my apartments when I got home today. She jumped down to greet me, crawled right into my lap, and began purring the second I scratched her neck. Absolutely adorable. I didn't want to leave her, because it was 20 degrees outside and I had nothing better to do (what in the world is better than loving on a cat?), but I was sitting in front of the vending machine and some man came up glaring at me, so I hopped up and went home. I love the kitty. I want one so bad!
Going back to before the kitty-love, I went for a walk this morning. It was pleasant. The wind wasn't blowing and the sun was out, so I wasn't too cold. The lake behind my apartment was frozen solid! So awesome. I walked along it, until I saw the water moving again, and just stared out at the ducks for awhile. It was nice to be alone, since I never get the chance anymore, with my brother here...
A woman across the lake came out of her apartment and said hello to me, and asked if me to come visit her. Strangely, I began walking towards her. She just seemed so sweet, I couldn't say no. Plus, I decided I'd be more open, and talk to more strangers. :) Ahaha. So anyway, I got to her apartment and she invited me in, and then hugged me. She was very sweet. Her brother offered me coffee and then joined us at the kitchen table, where I was telling her about my family. She asked if I was married, and I answered, "Oh, no. I'm only 18!" and she began talking about her first marriage... I don't know, it was interesting. And fun. Her brother asked me if I had any hobbies and I told him I was a writer. I told him I also painted and did "other various artsy things." I didn't mean to say it like that, but it came out that way. ;D
The woman showed me some things she'd crocheted, and some pictures of her family. She's originally from New York. I broke out my camera and showed her my baby girl and my brother. I don't know, it was nice. Something I've never dared to do before. I wish I wasn't so tame. Maybe I should make my New Years resolution something to with not being this way all the time.
Around 9, my mom and I went to this Christmas lights display that's pretty popular around here. I took some pictures.
The multi-colored ones were definitely my favorite.
These look like giant purple mushrooms!
Pretty. I haven't been in years. I wish I was more in the Christmas spirit. I'm just ignoring it this year, it feels like. I mean, today is the 22nd and I'm still not finished with shopping (and not really interested in finishing!), no decorations are up around here... I don't know why. Too much other stuff going on.
Next year, I want to make an extra effort to enjoy the holidays. Did I mention this already? Oh well, I'm repeating myself, if I did. I'm going to do something special for every holiday next year, even if it's something really tiny. It'll be better than what I did this year (nothing!) for sure.
Oh, I just decided that I want a piano in my house when I grow up (it feels strange saying that) and get married. No, I don't know how to play piano, but I still want one. They're beautiful.
