so after going on the scuba trip to be certified i was only able to get the basic certification rather than the advanced. damn weather caused us to cancel three of the dives. im hoping when i return some of the gear i can get a refund or a credit towards another trip. either way i had a blast. i really needed a trip/vacation and the warm weather was a great change from the cold rainy weather we have had in alabama since late september.


christmas was good. my mom seemed very happy even though i still do not get along well with her husband. really its just that i have decided not to eat meals with him since he doesn't carry on a conversation, he picks at any food he doesn't fix himself, and when he does cook he doesn't tell anyone what it is until you eat it. there is a tension when he is at the table and it really makes for an unenjoyable meal. only other thing that has upset me is that she got new wood floors in her living room and to pay for it she sold a piece of jewelry that i wish she hadn't sold. as a matter of fact i wish she had told me about selling it to pay for the floors so that i could have just bought it from her. it was an old gold coin made into a charm on a gold chain. it was a gift from either an aunt or her grandmother and she had it as long as i can remember. i hope she isn't too upset about it, but she has mentioned it so i know its on her conscience. i know that i have the best mom in the world and i hope that one day i can be half as good a person as she is.
