There are a lot of shows on television about weddings. I found that out today. A few days ago I bought a book and some yarn and needles and taught myself how to knit because I saw people that make booties and baby blankets on the computer and I wanted to do that too. It was actually sort of easy and kind of like making nets but with needles and with smaller materials. So not anything like making nets, really but that's okay.
But I was watching these wedding shows and there was one where the women were just so terrible and mean to each other and it wasn't nice at all. They would get upset about cake and shoes and flowers and all kinds of other things that seem so silly to get mad about. Then there was another one where they would try on all of these dresses and they were all so beautiful but expensive with sparkles and ruffles and the girls would always cry. It seemed very strange to me. Things at home were very simple when it came to weddings. When it came to a lot of things compared to here. It was complicated but sometimes not.
Oh and we saw the ball drop on the last day of the year. It was very crowded and cold and loud but everyone seemed very happy to be there. It was different. A lot is different. It's taking some to get used to.
