Wish it was still Christmas Break!

This photo depicts the happiness, joy, and relief that mainly my dad and I were feeling right at this moment when we got to my Bro's house...after a long frustrating course of traveling events. (No, we hadn't showered in some time)

The quintessential decorating of Christmas sugar cookies:
Quite a fun and hilarious Christmas Eve afternoon with some of my sister-in-laws fam... early to the movie theater to see A Christmas Carol, which had been out for almost a month so we had the place to ourselves...I liked it, but we weren't able to see it in 3D, and it seemed as though the effects and decisions they made for the film were tailored for a 3D experience.
Modeling the Christmas morning display...
Christmas dinner and present exchange festivities with Lisa's whole family were EXCELLENT! Very fun and delicious.
So.....my parents gave Mathew and Derrick this lovely Monopoly City game and it literally took us like 5 hours of the day after Christmas to complete a game, which I won...in a very anticlimactic way, since the two buffoons just ran out of money all of a sudden; such is the way of Monopoly.
Ice Skating!
More Game time! :)
We had lots of fun, I could have been good with like another month of it!
Another event that was super great that we didn't photograph was an air soft gun war we had at the park. The gun I had had a range of about 6 ft. so I totally lost that battle!

Busy

I've been slightly absent from this world for a while...it's too bad because I've had some great and funny things to blog about. BUT again, I don't really feel like anybody reads it, ha ha! Well, that and I'm in a pretty intensely busy rehearsal schedule for this quirky little musical, Disco Inferno. And being a lead is really not as fun as being a goofy fun character mixing in with the ensemble. Don't get me wrong...I'm excited for the opportunity and have experienced some breakthroughs which have surprised me, but I am definitely nervous. So, things I could have posted about the past few weeks:

-my theories about the "blind date"
-what 4th graders do instead of listen
-my 3rd trying-to-hide-it, "struggles-with-same-sex-attraction" male love interest
-a survey of my readers (all 3 of you), polling whether I should be desperate enough to get on ldssingles. com
-the hideous, someday-it-will-be-funny experience of getting bumped off a flight to Oregon two days before Christmas WITH my afraid-to-fly, frantic, worried, control-freak father...which entailed a couple shuttles, no baggage, a long hotel night, some serious hours of waiting, and flying into a different airport 2 and half hours away from my brothers house.
-our fantastic Christmas break trip to my brother's in Oregon where we ate great food, sat by the fire, watched movies, went to movies, went ice skating, had an air soft gun war, played tennis, played games, SLEPT in, and had Christmas cheer with not just our little family-but also my sister-in-law's great large family.

There it is...Disco Inferno opens this Friday, the 8th and goes to the 16th (super short run), and no I can't record the show; it's not legal (that was for Carrie).
