good to be home

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

We got back from the land of ice and snow last night, after many nights of drinking and outright debauchery (in addition to all sorts of family time). In other words, we are very, very glad to be home, lol. The day we left, I had slipped on the stairs while rushing, ...

Can I just say, I so desperately want to see the new Alvin in the Chipmunks movie I am literally bouncing. No, I'm not kidding and yes, I am weird. Whatever. I LOVE them. :D

10 degrees of ice and snow

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

So yes, the box did come yesterday, FINALLY. And so far, according to my mom, nothing appears broken. Chop and I made it safely to the land of ice and snow, and right now we are sitting in bed and outside the windows the world is totally white, covered in snow ...

We got up at 8, expecting to have no problems leaving town by 10AM. Except we didn't leave the house till 10:10, and we still had to go to the post office, the bank and put air in a tire. The post office? Eight people in front of me. And when I ...

damn post office

I sent a 15lb box to my mom's house on December 10, and have been waiting to hear from my mom that it arrived. It contained 90% of the presents for my immediate and extended family back home, seeing as how this year the Chop and I are going to ...

Going 30 miles in the snow at 8PM to pick up the Chop from the train? No fun. Getting a flat tire? Definitely no fun. Realizing that two computer nerds with no previous tire experience can change a flat tire, in the snow, and find the entire situation hysterically funny? Priceless.

this tree needs you

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

My mom decided to boycott a tree this year since I'm not coming home and so "we'll just go over to your sister's since she has two trees." I decided that was totally unacceptable, and playing on one year when my dad brought home the ugliest tree ever, I sent them ...

Yesterday I spent three hours getting the Chop's car so it wouldn't be towed. Three, you say? Yes. FREAKING THREE. I picked up my friend Sara, we drove the thirty miles to where the car was parked in about 45 minutes and then spent 30 minutes trying to find the damn car. ...
