As this year comes to an end, I'm going to remember last New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
On New Year's Eve morning, we went to my grandparents' house to return my grandpa's hearing equipment. Then we went to Best Buy to get a few things. I wanted a speaker that could be charged by the computer but didn't go in the USB, but I couldn't find what I was looking for (I didn't exactly know what I was looking for). We looked at vacuums, and I noticed that the signs hanging in the store had both English and Spanish. I was amused that one of the translations was exactly the same, except that they had replaced an ampersand with "y." In the car, my mom's copy of Cherie Call's Gifts came on; I told her to switch the CD after the New Year song, since Christmas was over. I asked if that made me a hypocrite, since I would be listening to some Christmas music that was my 2012 music, and she didn't think so, but she said that she should be able to listen to it because it was a new CD for her in 2012. That day we went to Winegar's grocery store and got lots of unhealthy things because we thought some of my cousins would come over. We got chips, eggnog, New Year cupcakes, gingerbread and eggnog taffy, and gingerbread marshmallows. We also got more. But no one came, so we had an abundance of bad things. I turned on my 2012 music while taking down Christmas and putting up New Year things. My mom was laughing at my Jan Terri music. I finished a memory post while my parents were downstairs; I later joined them. We weren't pleased with any of the options for New Year coverage--what's the point of a tape-delayed New Year?
On New Year's Day, we went to our traditional family dinner at Golden Corral. Afterwards, we went with my aunt Sue to Tai Pan. I got a clearance Christmas tree for $5 and Sue did as well. Then we went to my aunt's house and played Loaded Questions. One of the questions was "What is a headline you don't expect?" and I said, "Ke$ha gets baptized into Mormon church," and when Jesse saw that, he made his, "Ke$ha marries Mark Melville." My mom and I left with Allie, then realized we had forgotten something, so we turned back. We dropped Allie off at her house since she had school the next day. Then we went home and I kept listening to my 2012 music while I disassembled our little Christmas tree. I finished up the last of our eggnog, knowing that the holidays were completely over.
