Some Goings On

Good evening readers. It has been a few days since I've posted, but here I am.

Has anyone ever noticed how time blends together when one is on Christmas break? With school, it is all schedules and planners and color coded assignment folders, but the moment I went on Christmas break, I forgot what day it was, and I have forgotten repeatedly ever since. For instance, I could have sworn that tomorrow is New Years Eve, which goes to show how silly I am. New Years Eve is obviously Thursday.

I did have a wonderful last couple of days, though. Nathan and I had two of our "adopted children" from "Joseph...Dreamcoat" over for shopping, pizza, and a sleepover. Talli and Amelia are definitely the best 11 year old girls ever, and shopping with them was like shopping with two friends my age. We tried on dresses and shopped sales (Herberger's was like a gold mine), and took a gazillion pictures. Which I would post here, if I could figure it out. (Help, anyone??)

Anyway, after pigging out on frozen pizza and rootbeer floats, we watched "The Wedding Planner" and talked until almost 2 AM. Nathan's pancake and egg breakfast, and a few games of Apples to Apples made for a perfect sleepover ending. I hope the girls had as much fun as I did, and that we can do it again soon.

Liana came over today for a gift exchange (two books for her, and plaid Betsey Johnson tights for me...she knows me so well)and some browsing time at Half Price Books. I had left over Mushu Chicken for dinner, and promptly got sick. But I feel much better now.

The rest of the evening has been a lovely few hours of reading (unheard of since I started college) in front of the fireplace. Nathan and I are sleeping out in the living room by the Christmas tree and the fireplace before we take everything down...we're procrastinating that as long as possible.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, and that your New Year will be even lovelier.

Love to all,
Lissa Hoarn
