New Years Eve 2017

So from December 7 to now, nary a word.

A WORD

Well, I guess it is very difficult for me to keep up.  BUT, hey, tomorrow is a new year, and maybe I should have some new year resolution????  Why not, everyone else does, right?

I am reading the book:  the Life changing Magic of Tidying up, by Marie Kondo

WOW, what an interesting concept.  I started yesterday, and boxed up, and giving away a bunch of stuff, reorganized so many drawers, and decided if it does not bring me joy, OUT IT GOES !!!  I made Kurt organize his books, and he gave away FOUR boxes of books, but still kept three, back up in the attic it goes.

Will, he is still eating in his room and driving me nuts, as I see it often.  Stinky shoes, smelly sox, dirty underwear, everything......  we had another talk last night, but we shall see

On Sunday, December 10, someone posted Buy Nothing Torrance, FREE TREE, so we went.  Artesia and Prairie, Honda giving out a coupon for 60 dollars, so we bought a 65 dollar tree for 5 48.  I was very proud.  But the Surfer does not like the tree, not a Noble Fir, or some such thing.  Think it is a douglas fir.

We went to the meeting at church about Vision for Kings Harbor next year. on Sunday.

Kurt has his finals and comes home via the bus, early Sunday morning. 

We had our Christmas party at Donna's on December 15, Friday. 

Will gets a job at AMC and is driving my van.  He is not working at mom's much.  Kurt is working there more. We finally decorated the tree on December 17 and Father came to visit.  He brought us cookies, of course. 

A hawk took my Lucy/Ethel on Saturday December 16.  Buffy was squawking and I went out to see and the hawk was eating Ethel.  I am so sad.  The rest were hiding.  Now I have only one Lucy/Ethel. 

We drive to see the lights on December 21, and wow, so crowded at 6 pm, thought all them folks were home having dinner.  Candy Cane lanes were so beautiful.

Ian and Pete came over for dinner on Friday the 22nd.  We have our Xmas dinner on Sunday, the 24.  KR and Kurt goes diving and Kurt caught a little fish.  We had Brian, mom and dad and Will and Kurt and Ronnie.  Rita was suppose to come, she ended up in the hospital.  Congestive heart failure. 

Monday we open gifts.  I got the boys wireless headphone, battery charger, gift cards to In N Out, and Jamba Juice.  Kurt got me a snoopy ornament, and he glued some Lucy/Ethel feathers to Snoopy.  So thoughtful.  Will did not get us anything.  Not even a token.

Right after gift opening, the boys went out to Mojave to go shooting.  I had mom and dad duty.  I took mom out to the beach and she said that she wanted to touch the water so I took her down and the was coming in lightly and I let her touch and she fell over and got wet.  I didn't want to go pick her up as the waves were getting to my shoes so another guy came and helped.  It was pretty funny.  Her shoes, pants and jacket all got wet. 

So as we wait for the new year, what do i predict for the new year?

I don't know if Kurt is going to make it in school  So next year we shall see if he goes back and if he decides he will do school.  He wants to change major but it is now too late and he is just pretty depressed about it in general.

Will, wants to go to USC but i have no idea if he will get in.

Tyler is still in Nebraska.  He is back with Chally, the girl who got him in jail, but hey, what can I say.

That is all for 2018
