Happy holidays!
I hope you all had an excellent end-of-last-week and weekend! Regardless of whether it involved a holiday for you or not. And if it did involve a holiday, I say "Happy Hogswatch!"
I received a couple more cards since the 25th, and I'd like to thank their senders:
Thank you, starlady38, for the wonderful card!
Thank you, tithenai, for the touching card and accompanying Winter mix-CD!
And there's one I missed before:
Thank you, ajodasso, for the brilliant knightly post card!
My cards didn't actually go out until the 24th, but I hope I good number of you have received them by now and that they brought you some measure of cheer.
I had an enjoyable trip to my hometown: I got to spend time in turn with my brothers, each parent, and my grandfather. We played Mario Party on the Wii, baked cookies and hams, mixed up shots and drinks and watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. There were family breakfasts, and lunch with friends, and the gifting of Domo-kun shirts and knitted hand-warmers and cash in puzzle boxes. In short, it was a really good time.
Also, my husband gave me a Nintendo DS and coordinated with others so that I received five games for it. He has thus single-handedly (or triple-handedly, given his gift-assistants) severely and negatively impacted my productivity! But I forgive him, for he is the deliverer of the precious.
I'm mostly kidding, anyway. The games I have for the DS so far are really good about being played in tiny bits, so it's easy to play a little, then put it away and do something else.
