Nothing/Everything to report.
I want to say that not much has happened over the last few weeks, but really it's been quite the opposite. Instead of having nothing to post about, I've almost had too much, and the resulting overload prevented me from even checking my friends-list, much less yapping about what I've been up to. But I have time now, so what the hell?
I got the promotion at work, and now I'm in charge of five people (one of which works off-site). Then team I'm on is great--I didn't switch jobs or anything, so I'm leading my fellow teammates. I'm excited and a little nervous because work has been hellish. Plus, I have to work on New Year's Day. It sounds bad, but I'm earning two vacation days for doing it, and that's pretty sweet. I just have to be sure to stop drinking at 1 a.m. in order to be presentable.
Christmas has come and gone, and it was actually quite enjoyable. We did 85% of our shopping on the 16th, and the rest of it on the following Tuesday. Since we were done shopping completely, we enjoyed the last week before Christmas--we saw the windows at (ergh) Macy's, went to the German market in Daley Plaza, and watched ice skaters on the rink at Millennium Park (the line was an hour long, and we decided not worth waiting for). There was no last minute running around, and no flare-ups, or anything. It was just...nice. No complaints.
Mike finished his trimester at school and is off on break for two weeks. I'm really jealous, but I had a lot of time off earlier this month, so I really can't complain. I finished the storyline on Zelda's Twilight Princess, and became a mega-tennis pro on Wii Sports. I want to finish the mini-missions on Zelda before I get a new game (Elebits), so I have a long way to go on it.
And that's about it. Oh, I saw "Children of Men" last night and it was fantastic. Loved it! Go see it. Anyway, hope everyone's holidays went/are going well!
