and so this is christmas
Well, another short entry. I will hopefully be updating next week with something more substantial. :)
I'm in Chicago. Got in Tuesday night, and have been achingly adjusting to my own twin-sized bed like I always have to whenever I come here. :-P I can't wait until I get my full sized bed moved back down here. I got used to the space. And the lovely pillow-top mattress.
Had Christmas Numero Uno tonight, my parents and I, that is. Got the new Fiona Apple album, the new David Gray album, and a CD with a collection of Frank Sinatra's best recordings from 1953-1960. I got The Nightmare Before Christmas on DVD, which I'm totally beside myself over, because I freaking LOVE that movie, hehe. I also got Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and a collection of new short stories by Dave Eggers, titled How We Are Hungry. Frango chocolates, a car charger for my iPod, and a shirt with Celtic artwork on it.
Tomorrow morning, we leave for Indiana to spend Christmas #2 with my Grams. Then on Monday, we'll head to Cincy to spend Christmas #3 with Joyce and Grandma Howe. Craziness. But this is how we've always done it, so I love it nonetheless.
I just wanted to wish you and your families all a very Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Winter Solstice, Yule...whatever you may celebrate, I hope it treats you well. I love you all so much. Take care of yourselves. :) I'll be back either Tuesday or Wednesday. Not sure, hehe.
Lily & Kit: your presents are definitely not going to be sent until after I get back; I'm sorry about that, but I will try to get them sent out to you ASAP once we get back to Chicago next week. :)
