I Need to Blog

I had a very nice Christmas. I relaxed with Raffy in the morning, then we went to his grandma's house, had food and tamales and visited the family. It was nice to see everyone so happy and grown up, and I had a great time. Then we came home and I called my family and chatted.

We don't do presents anymore. We don't have money, and I would rather eat good food, and enjoy good times with my family than waste money on things that I don't need right now. We watched Eureka 7, it was a very good anime. Raffy looked at the cast when we saw the final episode, and they had people from so many other great anime series. I think it's my favorite now, or at least really high up there.

I'm trying to finish the Inuyasha series that I had to stop earlier on. I watched 2 disks, and I have about 5 to go. It's funny because Raffy watched the English version on Adult swim, and he was shocked that it was the same episodes so close to the end of the series. I wouldn't know - I hate the English bastardization of my first anime. They cut about 30 episodes, and changed things around. I love how they swear all the time. It makes me laugh!

New years was much the same. We visited Raffy's uncle - he has a home he rennovated. He has a girlfriend now and they both seem very happy. She's very nice and I am very happy for both of them - he is a very good person. As soon as we arrived he swept us into the kitchen and served us personally a huge meal! I already ate dinner, and I was trying to eat everything, but I could not. We laughed and talked, and we got home safely before 12:00 pm and rang in the new year with Moses! :)

Last week I went shopping at Macy's for a new skirt - but they dont' have any in stock right now. I tried on a dress - size 16, and it *almost* fit me. I am very happy about that - I could not squeeze into an 18 before my workout revolution last June. I'm going to keep it up and go back later (I have some gift cards to Macy's!).

But I wanted the skirt for my family picture with Moses. So Raffy and I went to Hancock fabrics, and they had a sale on everything. I made a skirt last week. It's beautiful! That's why I haven't blogged lately - very busy. :)

Happy New Year - I know times are rough, but let's work hard to make 2009 the BEST!

Wow, Leah! It sounds like things are really going great with your workout regiment. I wish I could say the same for me :'(

But I'm glad that things are working out on the family front. :)

I haven't really heard of Eureka 7. I should probably go google it to check out the plot premise.
