Sooo it took 11hrs of airport/delay/travel time but I got into El Paso around 1030 on christmas eve... Bout a 45min drive over the NM border to Las Cruces. Didn't go to mass with my mom's family there was a whole wierd vibe I'm not sure what's up... This morning my dad's parents were up and fire logs going by 8... Presents, etc. Everyone got some awesome stuff this family is always so good to eachother! Then I went to drop gifts off with my mom's brother. Had coffee, hung out with them & 2 of my cousins. I haven't seen my mom or other aunts & uncles yet except my dad's side... I hope it doesn't stay weird the whole time I'm here, I need to figure out what's up...

Anyway came back, ate some food took some fotoz, blah blah. Got sucked into this horrible Hallmark Original movie my grandma, aunt & I couldn't be pried away from, so we didn't go out to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as planned because it was apparently 3 hours long and people were trying to meet people and etc. Found a marathon of old Simpsons episodes instead.

Tomorrow I gotta get up early for errands in Texas and be back for lunch at La Posta by 12ish. Yeah. CUZ I FUCKEN LOVE LA POSTA. Y'heard. [Post-Edit-Edit: La Posta was dope as always. Got a chain for my pendant from my dad's friend's jewelry store, as well as this fucking amazing, giant heart shaped silver ring, the bottom is stamped metal, the first stone heart is Gaspiete, the top inner heart is Spiny Oyster. It looks like a lot of the pounded tin sacred hearts, but it's Navajo and was made up in Gallop. It's freakin awesome. I like old Mesilla, it's so old-town-y hahhaa. I took some pics of the Gazebo everyone gets married in and San Albino church where the masses always are. Then I returned a Guess watch at the mall - it just didn't sit right. It's almost time for crazy family Trivial Pursuit shenanigans. My grandma & grandpa better be on separate teams, they're pretty much the smartest people in the whole universe so it's not fair if they're on the same team...]

Hope everyone is safe and with family, friends, or at least having a good fuckin time. Pics & stuff soon...
