And she's back in the game!
Wow. I'm back in Texas after a week of Arkansas and the family. I did a lot of farm work, sleeping, reading, and game playing. My sister got me a Gamecube for Christmas, and she and I played lots of Mario Party 5. I also went to a party at Billy and Diana's house, with a bunch of old friends, and went bar-hopping with Ryan and Kris. Because Fayetteville is such a small town, we ran into a lot of people from high school and college. Of course, I went shopping and got new clothes.

Highlights of the family Christmas presents include:
Gamecube
Foot spa (I love soaking my feet)
Paraffin bath (again, for my feet, and my dry hands)
Electric griddle (cook ten pancakes at once!)
Cure Trilogy DVD

I got some more stuff, of course, which I loved, but those I think were my favorites. My friends got me some great stuff too. The Peter and the Wolf book and CD from Gavin Friday (who also did the soundtrack to the amazing film In America, which I guess I should buy since I do love me some Gavin), which I got from Ryan, Joe Pernice's Meat is Murder book from Mark, a sweater from Gabi, a scarf, calendar, and coat rack from Diana, various baked goodies from Kat, a framed picture from Karen, and lots of good stuff from Victor. He got me The Bridge to Terebithia, which made me cry, the Bright Eyes vinyl box set, some fun stuff from Victoria's Secret, and Mario Kart Double Dash. Which we played last night.

Anyway, I'm through with the lunch break here from my first day back at work, so I had better stop here. I will have hilarious pictures from the trip home soon!
