FINALLY.. the sun is starting to shine again!! ='D
So, today has truly been amazing so far. Granted I fell asleep last night around 11PM and woke up around 4:30AM. Have been up ever since! I am delirious, tired, and starving but I had to build up the strength to shower, change, and get ready to run errands. I decided to sell some of my gold because I am flat broke! I had two little gold pendants and a little dinky gold link bracelet. My Mom and I walked around the block to this new gold place and got a price. $260! Never in a million years would I think I would get that much for 3 small things. Now, I probably would have gotten more if I kept walking around but I said screw it! I don't care. I didn't pay for any of that stuff so I really don't lose anything! I walked away smiling..
Here's why..
I can buy my elliptical machine now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was kind of bummed because I realized that everyone bought me something instead of giving me money. (Please don't think I am ungrateful. I love anything anyone gives me because it's the thought that counts but I was REALLY hoping my parents would just give me money because they know I have money issues. Actually, not my Mom. But, my Dad. My Mom gave me an early present and it was a gift certificate to get my hair done which was AMAZING because I had been wanting to get it cut for a long time! I thought that was my only present which I was so happy for, but apparently I have more. I never expect anything because I am 24 now. Christmas for me is spent buying for others. I rarely expect anything from anyone so it's always an amazing surprise when I receive them! Unfortunately with my Dad it's a different story...
Ever since I was young every Christmas one of my gifts would be an ornament that my Dad picked out. The idea was when I get my first place, and my first tree I will have all the ornaments to decorate. Idk to me it was a cute idea, and it always made me feel special that he made that up, and continued it. (Well, he didn't remember EVERY year. I only have about 12.) My Dad has a horrible memory and as I got older those special gifts stopped. Well, last summer My Mom, her boyfriend, and my sister went camping upstate. My Mom and I got drunk over cases of beer and bonded. It was nice. We talked about the family and bitched about how insane they are, and I learned a lot that I didn't know. We even talked about my Dad and why they split. And how much we hate my Dad's crack-whore GF.. Lol.. Well APPARENTLY my Dad never started that tradition with the ornaments. My MOM did, and he just continued it. Ha! It makes sense. The ONE thing that makes me feel special my Dad he didn't even start. No wonder why he never remembers to follow it every year anymore. Moving on..
Well, my Mom told my Dad to just give me money because it will help me. I'm guessing he didn't listen because he hinted to me that it has something to do with something to put my makeup in. (He likes to hint things. Idk why..) The funny thing is, every year I get something that is completely ridiculous. I mean it's the thought that counts but if HE actually bought it. If he actually PICKED IT OUT himself, then I would cherish it. No matter what. But unfortunately his GF shops for me. And when I mean shop for me it actually means she wraps stuff of hers. I AM NOT JOKING. Everyone thinks I am crazy but I know her very well.. She is a shopoholic. She LOVES to waste money. If you look at her closet she has bags and bags of stuff, and around holidays and birthdays she just goes through her stuff and separates it. Anytime I visit them (which is not often) I come back with loads of shit. Junk. Crap. You name it, she has it! And of course, who gets the crappy wrapped hand me downs? Me.. Merry Christmas Crystal. This is how much you are worth.
It's not my Dad's fault. He doesn't know any better. He is a man. Men suck at shopping for women. And it's not his fault he is dating a psychotic whore.. Lol
All jokes aside it doesn't matter what I get. There are so many people in this world that are struggling and are not as lucky and less fortunate as I am. I may get annoyed by certain people and their gifts but at the end of the day I am grateful for everything that I get. I know I am very blessed and I thank God and my family for that.
I figured that I wouldn't be able to get an elliptical because it is WAY too expensive of a Christmas gift and I really just wanted to buy it myself. Unfortunately I didn't have the money. Until today. I only had $20 left last night. (I know, I am such a broke ass) I spent it all on my sister's present. Today, I made $260 off of the gold. Now, I can buy my Mom's gift and order my elliptical. I think it's safe to say that I am a VERY happy girl.
My friend also owes me money, which I am getting back tonight. Plus whatever Christmas money I have. SO I am VERY HAPPY. I have a couple birthday's coming up and now I KNOW I won't struggle buying presents.
In a sense I really wanted the money not for me, but for everyone I love. And I am SO happy everything is turning out for the best. I am only buying one thing for myself. For my health. For my happiness. I can not tell you HOW big my smile is.
If I don't update before the 25th I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy, and wonderful Christmas. I hope you get EVERYTHING you want and deserve.
And thank you for taking the time out to read my words.
