After getting home, I threw all of those wet, sandy, salty clothes in the wash and I jumped into a steamy shower and just stood in the hot water for about 20 minutes to thaw out. I then decided to put on some sweats and just kind of be cozy for the rest of the day. I figured the walk with her on the beach helped me to feel 'cozy' on the inside (we talked about a lot of things while we walked) and then when I got home I just allowed myself to get cozy on the outside as well.
I figured if I couldn't spend time with family, I would curl up with my doggies and call my family. I didn't talk with everyone because they were watching a movie but it was nice to hear the family in the background. Plus, I have my parents upcoming visit to look forward to! =)
Hearing my family in the background when I was talking to Mom reminded me of the time I spent at home last year during the holidays. Yeah, I wish I could have gone home this year for the holidays too but I think it will be lots of fun to be able to spend time with my parents here too. I will have the opportunity to show them where I currently live.
I am also looking forward to having them here because my belly dance troupe will be performing on New Year's Eve and I'm planning on participating in the troupe dances and I'm dancing a solo as well. I have been working on it some but I know that I still have some more work to do. It's a good thing I'm meeting some of my belly dance gal pals at the studio tomorrow to work on some choreography - - I think I'll just have to go a little earlier and work on my solo piece. Have to make sure it's the best that I can perform it. =)
I hope this Holiday season filled your heart with love and laughter and that your upcoming new year is filled with many blessings.
