HOME! HOME! HOME!

It may have been a turbulent flight last night (all the hot air kept us bipping and bopping all over the sky.... they didn't even give us drinks), but we made it safely back in time to say goodbye to D (she left early this morning to visit her other relatives for xmas), and to collapse after our not terribly long but kind of lovely busy day.

( and oh my god I missed home )

I can't believe I had the hubris to do this, but my mom and I visited with my gradeschool music teacher (she's the one who cast me in the lead in our Nutcracker Play in 5th grade.... and I got to do the HMS Pinafore too) and I pretty much talked about myself the entire time.  ( It was a little strange, but also very cool )

The christmas luncheon we were supposed to go to turned out to be scheduled for after 3 pm (and we both needed to pack after 1:30), and so to make up for it we went out with my mom's friend for the best hamburgers in the county.  Diet, schmiet.

Today has been a day of ... well, we attempted to buy presents, we really did.  ( We ended up getting a ton of cheese )

Tomorrow we're off to do even more shopping (those last minute purchases are the most important, really!) and to buy food for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner.

I hope all of you are having fun, smiling, or generally enjoying your evenings in some way....I'm pooped but I'm happy with mine :D
