Holiday Parties

Wow I haven't written in a almost a month. What is wrong with me?!

So much has happened and I have so many fun things to tell everyone. Hmmmm where should I start....

How about with the holiday parties! That's always a fun topic.

I attended 3 this year (one being Kenny's birthday party, but we'll include it since it's in December). All 3 were so much fun. I mean who doesn't love getting all dolled, going out to a fancy place with a cute guy by their side? That's what I thought... no one! :)

Here's some pictures from the parties....

Black Tie, White Christmas

Everyone needs blow up guitars and flashy light up glasses!

Santa was there. I told him I wanted a pony for Christmas :)

And here's that cute guy I was telling you about!

BCC Single's Party @ East Andrews

There was this cage there... a great photo opt :)

All dressed up, looking Christmasy and beautiful!

I love taking pictures with him :)

Kenny's Birthday Party

I didn't have many to choose from but these were cute...

I must have been shocked

The boys. Sad I didn't get a good picture of the birthday boy.

That's all for today. I'll write more about my Christmas in a bit :)

Methods

People have all sorts of outlets when it comes to how they release anger, aggression, depression. Most people know their style very well and tend to resort back to that outlet at all times when conflict arises. Me, well my outlet is discussion. If an argument comes up, I want to talk about it, fix it and move forward otherwise I tend to hold a little resentment and for some reason I hold conversations and hurtful words inside, well forever. My question though is how do you have a discussion with someone whose outlet is time.

Does that make sense?

They need a moment, a night, a day to think about it... figure out their game plan and get back to you. Complete opposite of me!

I've always needed immediate answers...immediate resolutions. I'm not a fan of someone having an issue with me so all throughout my life I have worked on ways to deal with these kinds of opposition. Up until this point, I've been pretty successful. But I think I've met my match and I'm a having a really hard time transitioning out of my secure outlet and respect theirs.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to deal with someone who doesn't think the way you do when it comes to conflict?

Dumb question, I know but I'm serious. Is there a learning method that could be taught to me so I could stop worrying myself sick and start embracing the challenges head on?

Please advise.

My boyfriend's eccentric Christmas

In some of my recent posts, I have mentioned 'the guy's house.' I'm not sure that I've ever fully explained what that is... so I thought this would be a good time.

The Guy's House is the 3 story house that my boyfriend lives in with his 5 other roommates(Jeremiah, Triplett, Jason, Kyle and Tat). A classic example of a frat house minus the college campus, ha. The house is great and I do spend a good bit of time there. It's so homey and comfortable!

Well, the guy's decided to decorate for the holiday season. Last night, while putting the finishing touches on the decorations we came to the conclusion that their house is having an eccentric Christmas haha :)

Check it out...

Decorating the tree

I have to admit, the tree is amazing! And not just because I helped decorate it. It really is amazing!

Christmas lights tacked under the coffee table = A floating table, ha

I think this is the eccentric part. An eclectic variety of Christmas - ness

They also have icicle lights hanging from their ledge, candy canes greeting you when you enter the front door and a singing snowman playing the piano.

LOVE IT!

You should come see it.
