Blurred Line

I'm back from the vast cornucopia of turkey, chocolate, and alcohol that was my holiday break. It was a pretty good time, though, if a little stressful -- so, a relatively typical holiday, I guess. For the first time I got caught up in the Boxing Week sales. I didn't actually go out to any stores -- I don't have a hardy enough constitution to subject myself to something like that, but I couldn't resist the online sales. Ended up buying myself a brand new computer, which I can't wait to get. I imagine I'll pounce on the UPS man when he shows up (but who knows, maybe he'll enjoy it). I've been running the same Dell for almost four years now and although there's not anything wrong with it, I can't play any game that was made after 2005, nor can I watch DVDs on it. Plus, my hard drive was pretty much full (and now I get to upgrade from 80 gigs to 320). Woot!

The highlight of Christmas Day was probably the fact that my Dad got an old-fashioned toboggan. The sight of my Dad, my brother and I all getting on a toboggan seemed to amuse the rest of the families on the sledding hill, though I'm not sure they were particularly impressed with our familial brand of insults and heckling.

Anyhow, I'll be glad to get back to the routine (although I've been at work all week, so I'm halfway there as it is).

Hope everyone had a good holiday!
