Christmas wrapup
Dec. 25th, 2006 11:50 pmJust a few quick notes:
- While I was home on Christmas eve, I got to take a nice walk for the exercise. I did somewhere between 4 and 5 miles in a single walk. I managed to make it all the way out to Trexlertown and check up on the status of my old Eagle Scout project, which was still in place.
- The Glenfiddich went over really well at the Christmas Eve family dinner.
- During the mandatory singing after dinner, I found that inserting the word "porn" every third word or so made the songs much more fun to sing. Had my aunt been sitting next to me, she would have disapproved. However, it seems that someone switched around the seat assignments when nobody was looking to make this into a non-issue.
- Even though I told everyone that I wasn't doing presents, my parents bought me a few presents anyway. As in previous years, I received mostly utilitarian items: a scented candle, a corkscrew, wooden matches for the scented candle, chapstick, and microwaveable popcorn.
[Edit: Oh yeah, I put gas in my car for the first time since August! Yeah, I think selling my car makes more and more sense...]
At this point, I'm back home safely. Back to work tomorrow!
