They say children are like petri dishes, little incubators for disease ... in my case it's Sam. I can be in a house full of sick people and be fine, but one kiss and WHAMO I'm out for a few days! [Awww ... but I still love him!]
Winter break is all up ons and I have found myself being even more productive than I imagined. I have read a lot already, I have done quite a few things on the ole to-do, and I've actually finished my holiday shopping (as of 5pm today, but still!) ... not too shabby MacCulloch! Sometimes when faced with several successive days of no real commitment I find myself sleeping ridiculously late and idling away, feeling so unproductive that at the end of the day I'm quite depressed. I do have some things to look forward to in the next few days: A massage tomorrow morning, seeing my family for Christmas & Eve, seeing Sean & Jennifer on Friday, Rockband & lunch with friends on Sunday, going to Phoenix next week to visit my brother and his family, and possibly even working for a few days (which at this point is very good news indeed!)
Saturday night we had the family Hanukkah party at Sam's sisters house, which is always fun. I grew up in a Christian family, so it's nice to kind of have a built in Jewish family with established traditions. Sam's brother proposed last week so Cathy [his fiancée] wore her ring to dinner to see how long it would take Sam's mom to notice. Forty minutes later, she was very surprised!
Well, now I have to go pick up Sam from the train ... and make some maple syrup candy ... and finish wrapping ...
Happy Holidays!
