Break It Down

I'm currently enjoying my Christmas break from my couch. I believe this is the laziest I've been in a long, long time. No complaining here.

Christmas has come and gone and it was fantastic. The best part of the holiday was spending time with my family. We had a great time with my dad's side of the family-exchanging white elephant gifts and playing Minute to Win It. Christmas day was spent with my immediate family including my sweet future sister-in-law.

I can't complain about my gifts either. We surpised my dad with a signed Stan Musial jersey that he loves. My mom liked her Glee game but I was kind of outshown when she unwrapped her Kindle. I also got a Kindle (and a new laptop which allows me to blog from the couch!). I've already read two books and am starting a third.

One of the books I read was awesome. I'll be posting about it later.

Ok, off to figure out my outfit for the Wild, Wild West NYE party and continue watching Toddlers and Tiaras!

No Place Like Home for the Holidays...

Ahhhh, my winter break has been glorious! I have really enjoyed just about every minute of it and am already panicking because I have to go back to work in 6 days. It is funny how easily I slip into sloth mode when I have a week off school. Here's a rundown of some of the fun things I've done/ am doing on break:

-Visited with Auntie Jo, Uncle Tom, Uncle Dick, Robin, Sidney, and Keegan.
-Family Game Night with my dad's side of the family. This was the first time we did this and I hope we continue it. It was more about having fun and hanging out with family than presents!
-Girl Day with Amy R. and Alison. We ate, we shopped, we ate some more. Maybe that is why I keep gaining weight!
-Momma's Boys-Why, why, WHY do I like this show?
-Christmas day with the fam. My brother got to come home and we had turkey and all of the fixings -just the 4 of us. Then we visited the grandparents. We then returned home to play my mom's Wii all evening long. I refuse to reveal my original Wii age but I did it over again and was 27-that's more like it!
-The evening after Christmas. I got to hang out with Terry, Karen, and Alison. We laughed A LOT. We hung out with some guys from high school and laughed even more.
-Shopping for my brother's girlfriend with him. Nice to know he values my opinion. To thank me for helping him he allowed me to go buy some new running shoes. How nice of him!

Today I get to go hunt for clothes for NYE. The tradition is to go to Amy and Jon's house for their party. It is always a costume party and this year is 80s. Can't wait!

The Biggest Loser and Concerts

Our school district is sponsoring a Biggest Loser Competition across the district. I'm pretty stoked. We start competing now and go until March. Since, I have about 30-35 more pounds to lose, this is a great incentive. Each competitor puts in $15 and we work as a team of 10 or more in the building. If we get 22 buildings to participate, I could get $165. Wowza!

Last night was the Winter Concert at my school. It was awesome. The band, orchestra, and choir were very impressive.

Finally, I am at a loss for what to ask for for Christmas. What are you asking for?
