Christmas was a lot better than I expected. My family was about the same as usual. My Mom's health problems continue. She's gotten better, which means that she has enough energy to throw fits (which was what she does when she has enough energy). My Dad put her back in the hospital yesterday. I suspect that he did this to get some peace & quiet. I got to spend some time with my older half-brother. Had a heart-to-heart. Found out some stuff he had to deal with growing up. And I got to see what he's done with his home. I grew up a slob. The rest of my family are slobs. My half-brother's house is simply gorgeous. It left me feeling inspired.
I got some nice presents. I gave some great presents. I know it's a bit silly, but it makes me feel good to give things to people I care about. I took a perverse glee when my Mom saw that I had bought her & Dad a combination VCR/DVD Player. She had a look of horror and wanted to know how much it cost. Fun times.
I've read 104 books this year. I've also gone through all my spanish cards. I'm reviewing them right now. I have a pretty decent working vocabulary. I can pick out a lot of the words that are spoken on Telemundo. I drug my feet for the longest time on this project simply because I didn't have a concrete goal besides "fluency". Live & learn.
I'm working on my New Year's Resolutions/Plans. I'm feeling ambitious.
