Just kidding, I am here and have been all along, I just got super busy with the holidays and school and inventing things and such. It is all good. Most of you that come here regularly see me and converse with me on Twitter or Google Talk, so it isn’t like I have been totally out of touch. Just not blogging very much. Maybe I’ll make that my New Year’s resolution, to blog more often. Hmmm.
Anyway, things are going well- I am on vacation now, from yesterday to the fifth of January, except I am sort of on call for a few days in there, but only if it gets cold. I know, that sounds totally nutty, but we have some equipment at work that has to be turned on if the temperature drops below 35 degrees, and if that happens on one of my days, I will have to go in to do it. There not much chance of that happening, especially given the temperatures here lately. So, for all intents and purposes, I am on vacation. Except I really need to do some schoolwork.
Andy I and I are just hanging at home for Christmas. He spent the last two days tearing the back porch up and reassembling it because there was some rotting wood that needed to be replaced. I mostly shopped to get out of the house and away from all the hammering noises. My mom should be driving down here tomorrow, I think, and then the next day I will go with her down to visit Grandma in south Florida. I plan to stay just overnight, then Andy will drive down to visit with Grandma too just for the day and will take me back with him. Then my mom can stay as long as she likes. Lots of cousins and aunts and uncles will be down there as well, so it should be a good time. My family always has fun when we get together.
Andy and I got a Wii and Wii Fit. It is pretty fun so far, and that is surprising coming from me, because I am not a video game player, in general. But I like that this challenges me to step away from the computer and get up off my dead ass. The balance games are definitely fun, and I got a flying game that is kinda cool; it reminds me of when I actually used to fly for real. Then I got this game called World of Goo that is neat and mentally challenging.
Anyway, that is the scoop from here. We didn’t really get each other anything much for Christmas, cause we are already spoiled. I did get Andy this funny little stuffed Ladybug that I hid in the refrigerator last night for him to find. It had a card with it telling him that the bug is to remind him how much I love him and is the start of a new game. He has to hide the bug somewhere he knows that I will find it, and then it is my turn again. I think I’m gonna sew a little bag for the bug to carry so that we can put notes or little things in it too. Maybe it is dorky, but that is okay, cause I am a dork. It is all right; I am at peace with it.
I hope you are all having Merry Christmases wherever you are!
