Whoops.
I just realized last night that I haven't updated since December 10th. Which is silly, because I read my flist just about every day, so it's not like I haven't been around.
Let's see. I went to Vancouver last week, which was pretty dull because I didn't do anything except go to the mall across the street from my hotel and take a completely pointless walk to see a building that's being built for the Olympics. It looked like a building. It was very exciting. Oh, and I also saw a sign for a "Thrift Shop and Mental Health Library" which I thought was an odd combo.
Then on Friday the 21st I flew home from Vancouver via Chicago, which meant delay, delay, delay. I knew when I booked it that it wouldn't be fun, but the fare was $800 cheaper so I didn't have much choice. What was supposed to be a 12 hour travel day (bad enough) turned into a nearly 19 hour one, and I didn't get home til 3am Saturday morning. I had to be back at the airport by 2pm, so that was a short time at home. Luckily, I'd set everything out so all I had to do was swap stuff out.
I took two suitcases home, and unfortunately Delta decided to hang on to the one that had all my Christmas presents, which I thought was rather sucky of them. They didn't get it to Fayetteville til Sunday at like, 2pm, which was not good because we were having our Christmas that day in Springfield, which is almost 3 hours away. My sister's friend/wannabe-boyfriend/whatever was kind enough to go get and drive it all the way up, so that I'd have the gifts in time, so Christmas was saved at the last minute!
So that's pretty much what I've been up to! Now it's just hanging out with the family for a few more days. I'm putting up some of our bowling pictures over on my facebook, so if you need a good laugh, they're here. We accidentally went to a Christian bowling alley, which I was unaware was an option.
