Hola peoples!
Can I just say that vacation sucks? Because I hate the Christmas vacation stuff where I sit at home and do nothing for days until I'm pretty much a drooling mass of sub-humanity. Which is the stage I am very close to. I watched a Top Chef marathon, I was that lifeless. (Incidentally, I only watched it because I was too lazy to really look for anything else to do.)

tourofduty, that was your muses sticking their heads up from under the bed covers and contemplating. *pokes muses*

Christmas
So what did I end up doing/getting for Christmas? *thinks* I think it's a sad state of affairs that I can't quite remember. Argh. There was food galore (the best part), trivia (also of the good), the fact that I made my uncle happy with his gift, fuzzy socks and flannel pajamas, a $100 bill (woohoo!), my boots (which I promptly scuffed the toe *headdesk*), a Biffle calendar (which sadly only includes one actual picture of Biffle - meanies!) and again, too much food.
Oh, and family drama wherein I'm really not happy with the mom.

The Pup
My dog is sick. I think it's the treats that my uncle and aunt brought him from Connecticut. Poor Chester threw up yesterday and has been sleeping a lot for a few days. He's also going out to pee a lot. He woke me up in the middle of the night two nights in a row to go out. He has never done that since I've had him (which is going on 6 years). Luckily I've stopped letting him have those treats and he seems to be feeling better. He slept through the night last night and seems to feel better. The peeing isn't much better, but he's making it longer periods.

Movies/TV
Besides watching a Top Chef marathon (first season), I caught a Law and Order: SVU marathon yesterday (there'll be another tomorrow - score!), watched some Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman (Shut UP!) last night, and fully intend to watching Battlestar Galactica: 2.5 in the next few days.
Also went and saw We Are Marshall. Be warned, I am a sucker for sports movies and for Rocky type sports movies. So this one killed me. There was much sobbing on my part.
Rented Young Frankenstein. I miss comedies that were silly and tongue in cheek, but which didn't act dumb just for the sake of dumb. YF was wonderfully intelligent while being giddily silly. Mel Brooks should work more.

Of Hanging Out
Spent some time with the aunt and uncle on the day after Christmas. Twas fun. Chester got worn out with having people to play with. There was much discussion to be had (and my heart was pleased to hear that my uncle once went to a restaurant in Homestead and saw Ken Schrader in there, walked up to Kenny to tell him he was a fan and Kenny invited him to sit down and hang out), of the NASCAR and familial variety.
Went over tobubblesbrnaid's and we painted and then went and got Mexican food. And then hit up Wal-Mart for shopping fun. *g* It is not wise to let us loose in Wal-Mart.
