can't be late twice...

or so my dad tells me when i'm rushing out of the house to go chill with friends or family, lol. Christmas Eve was one such time...my brother and I had sooo much last minute shopping to do soo decided to spend some quality family time together and go brave the crazy mall crowds together. I was so stressed out that day. First of all, I only had 4 hours sleep the previous nite because we went clubbing with cousins and friends (why? seemed like the thing to do at the time, lol) and on top of that i had soo much to do -- shop, then go get groceries, buy liquor and come home and build a gingerbread house.
Really whoever invented that friggin gingerbread house-biulding activity set had to be on some kinda crack, lol. After HOURS at the mall, I was sooooooo tired - just wanted to come home and relax but noooooooooooo had to build the damn house. WHY?? I have two little sisters and I love them so had to do it for them.
I may seem bitter in this re-telling..i probably was but they didn't know that, lol.
The stupid icing wouldn't make the gingerbread stick together! my brother and I had to hold the pieces in place forever - FOREVER until it finally wouldnt move. in the end the house looked decent. but after it all, we were all satisfied with how it turned out, and christmas eve turned out to be a good nite. and just in case u were wondering ... yes - milk and cookies were left out for SANTA, LOL.
