Not Heinous and Heinous

Here's the Christmas update. The actual day was great. I woke up to find that "Santa" had come. Yeah! My parents are still convinced that on Christmas all of their twenty-something children are 10 years old. I don't mind, I can still reap the benefits. The toys just get better and better as we get older. I can't complain. I got some new duds and and iPod! Wicked Awesome! I've been playing with it for two days straight. I already have 1200 songs on it and I still have almost 14 gigs left. SWEET, iPods RULE! It just kept getting better, we had an incredible breakfast spread...pancakes, egg caserole, ham, sweet rolls, fruit, hot chocolate...you get the picture and then we got our big family gift. This was a total surprise. My grandma, before she died, paid for the entire family to go on a two week cruise to the Mexican Riviera. I can't wait. It's not until next fall but time flies and it'll be here before I know it. So that was my Christmas day. Today was pretty lax. We really didn't do all that much. My mom wanted us to go to church and since my dad is the bishop I thought it would be a nice gesture. WHAT A TREAT (sarchastic truth)! The program was all by some guest performers, a senior citizen choir called "The Cheery Notes". I had a hard time not laughing but they were very cute and it was a nice way to start the day. ...more gorging on food... Later we did something I don't think we've done as a family for what? twenty years? We played a board game. Life, Simpson's edition. It was actually a lot of fun, I think we're all a bit more competetive now so there was an added element. Then...it happened...the HEINOUS event to make our roller coaster plummet. You know those yankee candles, the big ones in the jars. So, my sister has one in her bathroom and instead of burning it she keeps it on a little candle warmer that melts the wax. Basically it's a big jar of hot melted wax. I think you can see where this is going. Long story short, Christel knocked the jar over today by accident and hot RED wax went splashing all over the bathroom. It covered the counter, the wall, the floor, the sink, toilet, brushes, razors, soaps, hairspray, pretty much anything you can find lying around a bathroom. And that's what I've been doing tonight, cleaning red wax off every surface in the bathroom. I should have taken a picture to add. Maybe I'll draw one. Oh, the best part was, we heard Christel yelling "HELP" from the bathroom and my brother went to find out what was wrong. At first glance he almost had a heart attack because the red wax looked like blood and it was everywhere. He thought she was dying. Then there were two screams and we all jumped to find out what had happened. All is well now, the clean up is done and we can laugh about it. Ah, adventures, I have to enjoy them when they come along. Usually things are pretty boring around here. Hope everyone had a enjoyable Christmas, let me know, and I'll talk to you all soon. Love, Rochelle
