Back from my illustrious holiday...Whew! I came home to "Low Battery, Low Battery, Low Battery" echoing through my apt...AHHHHHHHHHHHH! The hallway fire/carbon monoxide alarm was the culprit. So, I put a new battery in and plugged it back into the wires. Still, it kept saying it, so I pushed the test button thinking it would reset. Nooooooooooo! So, I just disconnected the bitch! If I die from carbon monoxide poisoning then I guess I'm just screwed cuz I'm not listening to that crap all night! 
Since my back was all screwed up for a couple of weeks before Xmas, I didn't get to do ANY Xmas shopping. So, my neice, her friend, and I went shopping, and I did it all in one day. Yeah...that really helped my back.
(We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, too.)
My niece is spoiled...she got everything a kid could want for Xmas. I am glad though...she deserves it, it makes her happy, and that's all that matters. I love her just like she was my own, and by the way, I love the little humanitarian that she is. A couple of things she did lately...AND her ideas, she bought a turkey and donated it to the Salvation Army, and she cut off her hair (to bob length) and donated it to Locks of Love. She's really awesome, and she's only 12 years old.
She got permission from her mom & dad to let me do blonde highlights in her hair, so I did, then got put through the ringer for doing it like I did. Her mom (my sis) gave the "OH MY GOD!" when she saw it, her dad rattled, "That's why I didn't want her to do it, DAMMIT!", and my aunt said, "At least it's not pink like her aunt's." BAH!
Now, I'm not a rocket scientist, but I believe she insulted me! And, since my hormones are on some kind of overload right now, I found myself in tears shortly thereafter because I was kinda upset they made me think I'd ruined her hair. I thought it looked great, and my neice really liked it, too. All I did was mainly cover the crown of her head, equally spaced apart, and apparently they have forgotten that even though her hair had become more light brown, about 5 years ago it was blonder than that!!! Her mom informed me that what she said was meant to be joking, and she told me that my niece's dad was reacting that way because it was just a shock after it being more brown for a while. Anyway, my sis told me that it was fine, and she wasn't mad about it. THAT really racked my nerves though.
So, for Xmas from my family, which I think I felt like crap because everyone else must have opened like 20 presents, and I opened F*O*U*R...yes four. WTF?? Am I like some homeless person off the street or something? Does that make me selfish? I give, and I give plenty. But for some reason I never seem to get it back. I got a Jack Lelane juicer, jammie pants & shirt, a light thingy that u put scented oil in a glass thing over it and it smells good, and a pair of plaid shoes my niece picked out she knew I'd like cuz they have skulls inside them. I like the stuff I got, but I just feel sort of like I don't mean as much in my family as everyone else does. I guess it's a good thing every Xmas I play "Merry Christmas To Me"...
I can haz...
SG hoodie...
SG playing cards...
and a new fat fuzzy pillow to sleep with!!!
(I know these are crappy webcam pix, but I don't have the energy to dig through my bags right now for my camera.
)
I now know that I must have a big flat screen TV to play Guitar Hero on after playing it on my sis/bro-in-laws big flat screen, and attached to my surround sound stereo that I've been trying to figure out how to connect recently. It is soooo much better in stereo & large!!!
Oh yeah, update on the doc situation...
The doc who refused my meds can just bend over and kiss my white ass...since I don't have to see him anymore!!! My attorney got me an appt. with another doc Jan. 7th, AND I went to my own doc I've been going to for years while I was back home. He gave me a supply of my pain meds to last me until then. HA! Take that workers comp. bitches!!! I just wanted to kiss my atty. all over...and jiggle my boobies 
in his face, or something like that. 
No seriously, I'll be sending him something. He is awesome!

...and then it's not like I mind shopping to get what I really want either.
I'm glad your relatives weren't truly upset with your niece's hair. They should have toned down their reactions though, especially after they gave you permission.
