I'm Ba-ack!

So, I'm a liar. I didn't post sooner rather than later like I said I was going to. Oh, well. The important thing is that I'm posting now, right? Right.

The Christmas season came and went in a blur, like always. I can't believe it's over already. I whizzed through the week in a flurry of holiday get-togethers and family gatherings, all of which consisted of much fun and much more food. I'm still full! I got to see family that I haven't seen in some time...Rosie and Phillip, Taylor's mom and sister, etc. And I got some pretty cool gifts (a digital camera! a comforter! earrings! books!) All in all, it was another great Christmas.

And...today is my birthday. I am a quarter of a century old. I had a wonderful day of basically doing nothing, which is exactly what constitutes a perfect day in my book. This morning I got up (with a runny nose and a baritone voice) at 5:00 and couldn't go back to sleep. So I did what any other insomniac would do...I went to WalMart. There were a grand total of four other cars in the parking lot and about 15 people in the store, including the employees. I bought some cold medicine (I love you, Theraflu!), chicken noodle ABCs soup, cat food, and two movies for $5 each, Clue and The Italian Job. I was home by 5:30! When I got home, I realized I hadn't put my key back on the ring from the weekend of family members using it to get in to the house, so I had to call and wake up my poor hubbie to let me in. I got back in bed, drank my Theraflu, watched Clue, and slept till 10:00. Then I ate some soup, watched another movie, read some of my new book, and took a nap. Then Taylor took me out to eat for my b-day and we went to see National Treasure. (It was pretty good, but the first one was better, of course.) It was a great day!

My plans for tomorrow? Dentist appointment in the morning. (yuck) Then I'm going to spend a couple of hours at the school. Hopefully I can come back home, wash clothes, do dishes, and then do a little more of nothing. We'll see how that goes.

I posted! Yeah!
