Have a KWAZYY KWANZAA everyone!!! 
my migraine is gone, but now i have a tummyache. i think the christmas tamales that were served at rick's nephew's house didn't agree with me.
all in all, it was a good christmas. we all got some good loot
. my mom got me these shoes that i wanted from land's end...you know- the suede ones that you slip on that come in all the different colors? i got those. in dark brown. i really liked the blue ones, too, but i refuse to be seen in public wearing 'blue suede shoes.' she also got me a couple of nice sweaters, some peet's ground holiday coffee, and some burt's bees soap. my dad got me a gift certificate from amoeba [yay! new music!]. rick got me a 'buddy christ' [from the movie 'dogma'].
the best gift of all though, also came from my mommy. she gave me a set of bed sheets. at first i thought, 'oh, nice- sheets.' you know, a nice, but practical gift that we could use...not too exiting [except that they're red...]. when i took them out of the plastic wrap, though, i discovered that they were actually sateen sheets- which feel like satin, but are 100% cotton, instead of polyester [or silk, for all you worm-lovers out there], which irritates my skin. about a month ago, i was looking through her 'company store' catalogue, and casually mentioned that i had always wanted sateen sheets, but that i couldn't afford them. the fact that i never even asked for them, but she noticed that i wanted them and got them for me meant a lot to me. i love my mom so much.
i just wish she wasn't sick. i can see her slowly slipping away from me, and i know that eventually all traces of the mother i knew and loved will be gone.
