A lazy day

Today, I was supposed to look through boxes of stuff sent to me from my aunt Carol, but I didn't. Instead, I spent some time on the computer, and ate a delicious turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich Mom made. Then I showered, and then I played pool with Dad. After that I watched a bunch of Smallville with Sean, and then I went over to play with Connor and Logan before bedtime. After that I went to Ben and Manda's and forced them to watch Kyou Kara Maou. (Ben said it was "interesting" and "different". Not really a resounding endorsement...however, he did have a lot of fun repeating Japanese phrases, such as "Maken da te?! Now I know what to say if I'm ever in Japan and someone gives me a demon sword.") We watched the first 7 episodes (the beginning and the Morgif arc), and then episodes 45 and 42, just because they're two of my favorites.

And now I'm home. If I'm not too tired, maybe Sean and I will watch more Smallville. We'll see.

Oh, I didn't manage to get a family portrait like I was hoping, but I did get some representative Christmas shots yesterday. They start here in the December gallery. Check out this picture Mom took of me and Sean! I cropped it and adjusted the color levels.

Mom says we look cute together, but then again she's biased ;>

I think we're visiting Grandma tomorrow. I'm not sure if we will get to see Jeff and Mavis after all; it sounds like they're not coming in until Tuesday, and Sean isn't the type to stop on his way out of town :/

The visit is almost over. I'm not really looking forward to going home. We've decided to stay with Cheryl and Reid for another six months, like they offered. Originally we were planning to hurry up and get a rental instead. Having looked over our finances, though, it's really prudent to just stay and save our money. Sean's car is considered a loss by the insurance company, so very soon we'll have a new payment to deal with. Bleh. At least the insurance payout was a decent sum...
