Hey, didn't I do this already?

So a couple of days ago I wrote a lengthy, well written, witty post describing my Christmas weekend. Then the dial-up monster ate it. Now I will just sum up what happened.

1. I woke up really early on Christmas Eve to go shopping with a friend who promised she would be in town by 8 am- when did she get here? 11:30.
2. On my way to pick up this friend, I stopped to get gas and locked myself out of my car at the gas station. My Mom comes about 25 minutes later with a set of keys, which is nice and all, but it they belong to a different car. 15 minutes later she arrives with the correct set- I of course am freezing and my friend thinks I stood her up because I didn't answer my cell phone (it was in the locked car).
3. I have a pain in my right upper back the slowly gets worse as the day goes on.
4. I ate really bad mall Chinese food.
5. My Mom and I decided to go to the casino boat instead of going to Ohio for Christmas Eve that night.
6. I get extremely nauseous at the boat. Seriously thought I was going to ralph on a slot machine or the old lady and her oxygen tank next to me. (Refer to #4 for the reason.)
7. My Mom and I try to see the Rockstar sing at the midnight mass at his church (they actually pay him to sing there). But we were too early.
8. I awake Christmas morning at about 6 am unable to move my upper body because of intense pain in my back.
9. My brother calls to tell us that he will not be joining us in our trip to Ohio to see the fam for Christmas.
10. So I decide not to go as well, being as I am in pain, so my Mom gives me some pain killers and I pass out until about 4pm.
11. The shopping friend from the day before comes to my rescue and lets me join her boyfriend's family's Christmas celebration so that I don't have to spent all of Christmas alone. We drink and play poker (the drinking, I might add, really helped the pain disappear from my back).
12. My friend spends the night with me. We stay up all night girl talking.

All in all, this was the most UnChristmas, Christmas I have ever had.
