Catchin' Up

Christmas is over and I finally have some time to catch you up on all that happened over the past two weeks or so of the break.  But first of all, I'd like to make a quick observation about holidays.  Now, don't get me wrong, I'm definitely all about spending time with family and friends, eating all kinds of good food, parties, presents, and everything else that comes with holidays.  But they're just too short.  I mean, so much preparation and anticipation goes into ONE day, and when it finally rolls around, the 24 hours goes by way too fast.  So, basically what I'm getting at is that when I become the first female president (ha....I cannot even type this and keep a straight face) my first priority after taking office will be to make all holidays at least 3 days long.  Seriously, Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, and so on would be much more enjoyable if they lasted longer than one day.  (I bet I could definitely win an election with THAT as one of my main platforms, eh?)

 On a more serious note:  my break so far has mainly consisted of spending times with family and friends.  Every year of high school, my best friends and I have our annual Secret Santa party where we get together and exchange gifts.  We decided to keep the tradition going, and it was SOOO good to see all of my girls from high school.  Here's a picture of us after the party...

Yay (I can sometimes be technologically challenged, so I'm glad this picture worked!).  Next entry I'll tell you all about my time spent with the 'fam'!
