home again, home again, jiggedy-jig
Dec. 26th, 2002 10:24 pmWhew!
The holidays are over for me (except, of course for returns HELL at work for the next month) and I realized something. Other than the fact that 3 days at my parent's house with my 10 year old nephew is not as fun as I used to think.
I'm a grown-up now. I got all happy over receiveing sweaters as gifts. And cooking utensils. I went to bed relatively early. I was nice and didn't argue with my nephew over who got to watch what on TV. I was disgusted by the state of my parents house. They really need to clean sometimes.
But I'm not as much of an adult as I thought I was. I squeed over the marbles that I got. I did get into an argument with my nephew over who got to play the new Harry Potter PS2 game first. I ate way too much Jello Cake and Pineapple Cheesecake (my father is a cooking god!).
So three days at my parents, will not do that again until next year. Too much stuff in too small of a house. I missed my computer and music. And can I say that driving through the Franconia notch during a snow storm is not fun. AT ALL. It took 40 minutes to drive 4 miles. Then it was completely clear on the other side. I will never understand the weird weather in NH.
I've been reading the Secret Santa fics. Wow! Those are very excellent. None for me. *sniff* That's OK, cause someone sent me an exclusive short fic, for a series I read, as an X-Mass present. Thanks, Pete!
Going to wander off now and read through the last 3 1/2 days of Friends list and 145 e-mails. Then work in the morning. Hopefully they plow the sidewalks tonight.
Ooh! I almost forgot! I got to see JC and Blowin' Me Up on a widescreen TV while at my parents. Woah. Nice JC. Pretty JC. Want to pet JC's hair.
