Well this will be a short update, considering it was my goal to be in bed an hour and a half ago.... back to that whole compulsion to finish something I've started thing...
Christmas was excellent. Ate excellent food, spent good time with my family, had lots of laughs, everyone liked their presents, I got some good stuff too. I think my favorites were Season 5 of The Office (watched Disk 1 tonight) and a new tennis racket :) Can't wait for it to get warm so I can try it out. My dad told my whole family about my Trash nickname.... let's see... I actually fell asleep at midnight last night, falling asleep to The Brave Little Toaster. It was an enjoyable holiday for sure.
I woke up around 10 on this lovely Boxing Day morning. Normally Boxing Day is reserved for BFF Christmas, but Livia had to work today :( Shortly after I woke up, we came home, and I took a 3 hour nap! I dreamed about football because it was on throughout my nap, though it involved camp and B too. Odd dream. The Lion's won their third game in a row, and it was an away game. Perhaps their curse has been broken? I left to take a shower and there was about 8 minutes left and they were down by 10. I got out of the shower and somehow, they were up by 7 and managed to keep that lead. Insanity. Especially considering it was the Lions.
After that, my mom and I went to return a sweater and we ended up getting some more stuff too, including a cute pink, comfy fleece and a vest. Then we went to Dick's and we got some shoes for my brother-in-law cuz the ones they got him didn't fit, and I got a black hat, which I've been wanting for forever. Then we came back and I did some more work on Christmas presents and watched various TV shows. It's been a good couple of days.
I actually wouldn't mind a break extension. I still have some work to do on Christmas presents and I want to spend some more quality time with my parents, which has been limited, and wouldn't mind a couple do-nothing days either. But I'm already booked! Tomorrow, Alyssa from camp is coming to spend the night, and Tuesday Olivia and I are doing BFF Christmas. Thursday is the Epic Penny Adventure which will obviously be epic, and Saturday night Liv is having her second annual New Year's Eve Party which I'm guessing will include a lot of Saturday and a lot of Sunday. I guess that gives me Wednesday and Friday, but I need to find time to spend with Megan and Jen. Megan and I have been trying to plan time to hang out forever, and I don't remember the last time I hung out with Jen. Sigh. And we go back the stinkin 4th of January! Good grief! I promised myself this would be a more chill break and I wouldn't plan as much. Fail. Ahh well. Such is life.
Tonight I nearly finished B's present. It still needs a couple finishing touches, but we'll figure it out. I'm pleased though. I'm definitely more excited about my friend presents than I was for family presents. My family is so hard to shop for, but I don't really shop for friends. I just make random, strange, but relevant things. Madee's is straight up absurd and she's gonna die, and Emily's is beyond great. I struck a gold mine for Angie's. And I'm excited for Olivia's too. And Marissa's. Like I said, I'm pretty pleased with the friend presents.
Well it's off to bed! Busy week ahead. Happy Boxing Day everyone, now that it's over.
