Christmas, Family, and... Drama?

Its Christmas time :-)  Love it!  I can't get enough of the decorations, lights, music, and of course Christmas goodies!  It really IS the most wonderful time of the year.  

I recently took a trip to northern Arizona to visit my aunt and uncle.  The entire trip was one "it-could-only-happen-to-me" event after another.  But it was awesome!  Started with being padded down at Ontario International Airport, taking a flight from Phoenix to Flagstaff with the Northern Arizona University basketball team, and being given "complimentary" wine from the steward who was on drink duty.  I also got to play with the simulated shooting system at the PD in Page, AZ, got pulled over for speeding (off with a warning ;-), and went for a ride in a fire truck.  On the way home, it was pretty easy... except for TSA finding my NyQuil (among other things) and questioning me about it, the lady sitting next to me on the flight stealing my book off my lap while I was sleeping, and the man in the bar who wanted to "share" a table during my lay-over.
 
Twice played, once burned... is quickly going to turn into thrice played... which could be a good or bad thing.  I am a creature of habit and I keep going back for the same thing, even though I know it's not good for me.  When will I learn??  And, how can I just turn my back on a situation that, although seems messy, might actually be a good thing?  What if fate just dealt me a tough hand?  What if there is no easy way around it?  These are the questions that have been bouncing around in my head for the past 48 hours.  I guess only time will tell...

Have a great week and enjoy your Christmas!!
