Nonsense From Wonderland

All wrapped up in our new Bengal Snuggies from Ammie and Pa! 12-25-09

Here’s to a great new year!  I hope everyone gets everything they want and more in the coming months!  Xmas was great for us, and everyone was spoiled.  I thoroughly enjoyed break and had a hard time getting up this morning to get in the groove again.  The boys did not want to get up either!  Peyton got me in on their Pokemon fixation, by giving me Platinum for Xmas.  It’s easy to become obsessed with that game!  I never thought I would get the Pokemon thing.  Jason was home sick for a couple days the week of Xmas, and off 2 more days, so it was nice to have that extra time with him.  I ended up getting my first cold of the season as well, but thankfully it didn’t stick around. I think Jason’s finally over it too.

During break we saw a couple movies–The Princess and the Frog and The Squeakquel.  Princess was okay–definitely not my favorite Disney movie, and the boys were lukewarm on it (I think they thought it was more of a girl movie).  The Squeakquel was so cute!  Jason and I watched District 9 and Paranormal Activity.  I liked PA better.  District 9 was just odd.

Sis was here for 2 weeks, which was awesome!  She was planning on staying just a few days, for the craft show and the AFI concert, and it ended up being a longer visit.  The kids wanted her to stay for Xmas programs : ).  The AFI concert was great, even though their set was too short!  It was a radio station “festival” type show, and we weren’t into the 3 opening bands.  I am hoping they do a bigger, longer, headlining show!  We drove down to Denver in nasty weather, but I was glad we went.  Davey is so amazing live!  Jason and I went down a few days later to see Stephen Lynch for the 3rd time.  He was hysterical!  We were front row too!  I need to get something else lined up soon!  I always get antsy about not having any shows on the horizon!

I don’t typically make “resolutions” for myself at New Year’s.  I guess I don’t believe in resolutions.  Rather, I like to say I set “goals” for myself.  Last year I wanted to read more, and I did an excellent job of that, so will continue on with that this year.  I am trying to be better about exercising.  I was such a slug this summer, and have not been happy with the results of that.  I got Wii Active, after trying out Dana’s for a month, and am really enjoying that.  I just need to push myself more.
