Monday night I drove home from
Jackson, TN where my entire family plus all of our extended family sat around
drinking coffee, opening presents, and munching on fudge. I drove home because
I unfortunately had to work the day after Christmas. For the first time in 22
years of life, I had to be somewhere the day after Christmas. Old habits die-hard
and I am still waiting for the glorious Christmas Break that must be coming.
The month long break of all reality that consists of baking, lying around in my
matching Victoria's Secret pajamas (that includes the matching slippers) and
watching all 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls.
The cherry on top of this new working
adult life hit me yesterday morning, as I so gracefully hit and ran over my
trash can at the end of my drive way. As my neighbors watched, whom I just had
said hello to as they took their own trash cans to the edge of their driveway.
Nothing says, "Have a great Thursday Shelbs" like trash all in the
cul-de-sac. As I ran over my trashcan I couldn't help but be thankful it was
the only thing I hit in the past week, as I was a world traveler from
Winston-Salem, NC all the way to Jackson, TN. Even without a Christmas Break, I
had a great Christmas spent with family & people I love.
The holidays continue this weekend
& I am excited to see old friends, new friends, and my boyfriend to help
bring in the New Year. And with the New Year my boss told me on Friday
that I would be getting a raise. So there’s that. Maybe this adult life isn’t
so bad after all.
