Post Holiday Update

So, there’s a lot to say, but I’m not sure how much I want to say. I feel incredibly blessed to have so many amazing friends. I want to thank everyone for the lovely cards. I didn’t send out cards again this year. Time just got away with me, as did the blahs. Every year around this time, I get a major case of the blahs, especially when it comes time to start shopping.

I will say that the gifts for the nephews were a hit for a change. Eldest actually said.. get this.. THANK YOU for his! We got him a $25 Game Stop gift card and my mother gave him cash, so he had almost enough between the two to get his Gears of War 2 that he wants. Youngest was excited beyond belief that I actually found him and Optimus Prime Transformer, plus he got more Magnetix to add to what Santa got him. I have to say that family day wasn’t horrible this year. Michael was texting with his girlfriend, though, and I’m really surprised that my mother was okay with that, since she hates cell phones. He wasn’t rude about it though, since he had the phone on vibrate mode and kept it quick.

Our Christmas was quiet, we don’t do much in the way of gift exchanges, since we usually get what we want throughout the year. Mom did surprise me, however, with a new floor lamp for the bedroom, since we had taken our lamp to the living room and left it there. I like this one much better, since it’s 70″ tall and doesn’t reflect on the monitors at all. She also got us a wireless printer. I’m seriously psyched about this because we haven’t had a working printer in ages. I have one of the big all-in-one printers, but something happened that it wouldn’t print any more. I guess I left a cartridge in it too long. *shrug* It was huge and there was never room to keep it set up all the time.

There’s been some stuff going on the last week that has made me seriously question people, but that’s not fit for this post, so I’m going to say, I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday.
