Only 2 days 'til the big day!

Here we are again, another year gone by so quickly. I remember when I used to be excited about Christmas 3 weeks beforehand, but now, it's so much different. It all became so complicated when I got my first job 9 years ago. I miss the old days when all I was worried about was getting gifts that I liked. Now, it's all about "I hope this person likes this" and "How much have I spent so far?"

Don't get me wrong I'm still looking forward to it, but now it's mostly because I get to see my family. We all live in different cities now, so we rarely see each other. Not to mention I never seem to get that Sunday phone call anymore.

Anywho, today I leave for Ventura at 2:30ish . . . which is approximately one hour and thirty-five minutes away. I'm not looking forward to the six or seven hour drive, but on the bright side I'm not actually the one driving. Hopefully I will fall asleep for most of it. I'm really tired because I forced myself to get out of bed at 10 am this morning. I know, my life is rough. The worst part is, I recently began struggling to get out of bed at 3pm. I don't know what's wrong with me.

3 truths and a lie

I read a post by a fellow blogger who wrote three true things about himself, and one lie. Then he had his readers guess which one was the lie. I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd give it a go. Since most of you who read this know me pretty well, I will be taking things that happened to me in the last 2 weeks.

1.) I went to Target about a week ago seeking small sports balls. I am sort of in love with them now. While I was there I bought a size 1 soccer ball, and a very small football. I bet you're thinking that I played with them once and now they just sit there. Well, YOU'RE WRONG! They are TONS of fun and me and my roommates play fun games with them when we are bored.

2.) For Thanksgiving I drove to Reno, Nevada as most of you may know. On my way there I was unfortunate enough to see a dead deer on the side of the freeway. It was very very sad.

3.) Last week I decided that I must be friends with Steve Carell. I knew in my heart that it wasn't going to happen by chance, if I wanted it I was going to have to go after it, so what did I do? I'll tell you what I did. I wrote him a letter telling him why I would make a good friend. I think it will work, but only time will tell. Oh . . . by the way, if we do become good friends I will probably end up spending the Holidays at his house from now on.

4.) Finally, I bought Christmas cards about 2 weeks ago. I'm not writing a letter that will be enclosed in every one, but I am writing a personal message to all those who will be lucky enough to receive one. However, I keep procrastinating because I can't think of anything to write.

Ok, there you are. Leave me a comment telling me which one you think isn't true and why you think it isn't true. Telling me why is very important, I want to see how well you think you know me. Also, my roommates cannot guess because they probably know which one it is.

Good luck! . . . oh and the winner will get a surprise! If more than one person gets it right then it will be the first one who answered correctly.
