post-Christmas

Okay, I know I haven't blogged in a while. But since I've been home (a week and a half), I've worked 53 hours (including the 5 hours I'm working tonight). Needless to say, I've been busy.

Since last week, Christmas has obviously came and gone. I was kind of sick, so it wasn't anything really spectacular. But it wasn't bad. We opened presents on Christmas Eve, as we usually do. I was feeling so not-well that when my mom came and woke me up (I had been napping), I didn't even feel like opening presents. But I did anyways.

I bet you're all dying to know what I got. So here's a list...

iPod (no, not a mini)
headphones
shoes (which came in the mail two days ago)
a Shins cd
an Aeropostale gift card
a Best Buy gift card (which I used to buy the Garden State dvd and the Buffy season 4 boxed set)
some cute socks
some sweaters
a Peanuts desk calendar

So. Garden State. Is. SO.GOOD. I love it. It's quickly on my favorite movies list. It was kind of cool, watching it for the first time, but knowing the music by heart and seeing how the songs fit the scenes.

As for the Buffy boxed set, I bought it because... well, because i wanted to. I thought about getting Alias season 3, but I have all the episodes on tape, and I'm still smarting over the fact that most of s3 sucked a lot. Plus, season 4 of Buffy (the first year she was in college) is one of my favorites (along with season 2, of course). It was before Riley got annoying and "bad" and stuff. My sister made fun of me, but hey... what else is new?

No plans for New Year's. I have a few days off around New Year's, but I think I'm just going to sit at home with my family. I want to go up to Milwaukee, but parking might be an issue that I just don't feel like dealing with.

Well anyways... work soon. I better dry my hair and get dressed. Work yesterday morning was... interesting, but I'll have to blog about it later. After work tonight I'm hopefully going out with Bev (who I haven't seen in forever) and Pat. It'll be the first time I've gone out with friends since I've been back home.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a safe New Year's.
