And another thing.
I forgot, but you should all know. I woke up this morning feeling 100%! Yes. No more sniffles for me and I'll be all set to see family. *Knock on wood.*
Nothing to do--I love it!
The last two days I haven't done much at all. Yesterday I went out once in the morning when Megan went to Wal-Mart to get her tires checked and found out she needed them replaced. Then I came home and I haven't been out since. I've watched 4 or so movies, have spent too much time on my computer, and believe it or not, I'm starting to get a little bored. Not bored enough to do anything productive, mind you, but bored nonetheless.
With all the time I've had, I am eating better (or worse). Today I made a cake and some hamburger, rice, and gravy. And the next couple of days I'll eat well too as I'm going to grandmas. Not that my life revolves around food, but it's something to look forward to.
I thought I'd be doing more to get ready for the holidays, but I'm pretty much set. I got my three little cousins a book. A board book for little Kara with a cute bunny finger puppet, a truck book for Mark complete with wheels, and a learning to read book about the Disney princesses for Lauren. And then a Dr. Suess compilation book with 13 of his stories in it. Ben and Jen are getting a $10 gift certificate (lame I know) to Blockbuster with a basket of soda, candy, and popcorn. Grandma said she didn't want anything and that she had enough junk to deal with so I got her a $10 gift certificate to Wal-Mart and a box of chocolate covered cherries. And for my other various aunts/uncles I got them a couple of boxes of Lehi Rolling Mills mixes or whatever. And me and Megan wrapped them all on Sunday.
Mom and Dad said they sent a gift to me express so it should come before Christmas, but I really won't mind if I don't have anything. It never really feels there is a Christmas day when I'm here in UT. Just a holiday season. Dad asked me what I wanted, and I told him I couldn't think of anything, but then I remembered some things that are on my list. I want a new xd card for my camera, since I lost the one I bought this summer, and I want Catch Phrase, a game I played for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I need to remember that for my birthday.
And now I have to get back to my life of nothingness. I think I'm going to watch Pride and Prejudice for the next 5 hours.

An Update
Apparently I'm not updating enough for my fans. Truthfully I've been pretty busy. But most everything is finally done. School is out for two weeks which is not long enough. And.....I got my immediate Christmas shopping done! Yay! Ben and Jen, my three little cousins, Grandma, and a few aunts and uncles done! Now I just have my entire family which will have to wait at least a day, cause I am shopped out.
Oh. Bad news. Remember what my fear was? Yeah. Getting sick. So the past couple of days I haven't been feeling so hot. And the last two I've had a mild runny nose. I think that's it. I hope so at least. It doesn't feel like it's getting too much worse. I do wish that the Dayquil or whatever would work though. And another thing. It's snowing like it's got to make up for November. It's been snowing now for the last three hours those big snowflakes that take all the fun out of catching them.
Megan left this morning to go to Arizona. She's coming back next Monday so I've got a week to fill. I'm may spend the day with Jen tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling. And then on Christmas Eve I'll go to Grandmas and stay at least through Christmas Day. Then I have some things I'd like to get accomplished. I want my room to be clean. And I want to watch some movies. And read some. And Erica is coming into town so I think I'll probably spend some time with her.
So that's it. Not too much to catch up on. I can drive in the snow. Just so you know. And I need to trim my bangs.

Want to know what I'm not missing? Snow. It's what--December 9th, and we haven't had any major snowfalls. Nothing that's lasted more than a couple of hours on the ground. Only one incident where traffic was slowed a bit. It definitely getting colder though and I can tell it's not going to hold off much longer. I did go out and get a coat this season. I decided after four or so winters spent in UT that it was about time.
I'm getting worried about getting sick. Today Megan had six kids absent. The flu is going around; the cold is going around; everything is going around and I'm going to get it. That's just my luck. But I really can't be sick during the holidays or I won't get any Christmas at all. I figure I'll probably spend Christmas at Grandma's and maybe go visit Ben and Jen. Or we'll probably have a dinner so maybe I'd just let them come visit me, but the point is that if I'm sick I certainly can't go visit relatives. Grandma's health is bad enough without worrying about that sort of stuff and the rest of the family has little children. Man, that would stink.
School is still going. Sleep is still a problem.

I need sleep.
Megan and I used to be on a pretty good schedule. We'd wake up around 6:20 and get to bed around 9:30. I think Thanksgiving break messed us up. Or at least me up. Now we're going to bed around 1:00 and getting up around 7:00 which is okay by me since I don't need to be at work until 9:00 am, but it makes Megan stressed and grumpy not having her time before school to get things done and finish planning. The plan is to leave school today around 4:00 and be in bed by 6:30. We'll see how that goes.
I had a good day at work. I felt really productive and proactive. This afternoon I was dropping off some papers and a couple of students asked me if they could take down the Halloween decorations. I told them that it wasn't my classroom and that they'd have to ask their teacher. A boy replied, "Yeah, but you're the one in charge." It made me laugh.

It's the Holiday Season
So loop-de-loop, Scooby-Doo, where are you? He'll be coming down the chimney *mumble*!
Yay! So Erik came over tonight and delivered my first Christmas present for the season. And my roommate put up a "festive" purple Christmas tree so it's really starting to feel like the Holidays are approaching. And the gift is....a clue, or something. I don't really get it, so maybe my only reader can help me out on this one. It's a curtain panel with the number 6 on it, but it's also wrapped, and I'm pretty sure something else is inside. But it's fairly light, and fits in the curtain panel wrap thing pretty easily. He told me what the rest of his gift recipients got, but all I remember is that his sister-in-law got a box of raisins with the number eleven. I don't think I'm going to be able to figure it out.

Too short.
I can't believe I'm already back at school. Now I'm counting down the days until Christmas break (16!). I'm excited about the break, but I'm still not sure what I'll be doing. I'll definitely be staying in Provo. And I'll probably go to my grandma's for Christmas day, and perhaps spend some time at Ben and Jen's. They just got a new place which means that I'll have to visit Grandma and them separately. And that I have to think of a good housewarming gift. Any ideas?
Megan's birthday was yesterday. We went out to dinner, but we're going to celebrate it with friends on Saturday. While brainstorming of things we could do, Shannon and I came up with an amusing idea: go on ldsmingle.com, and find 6-10 guys and invite them over at the same time. Then let the fun begin. Unfortunately ldsmingle must have changed their policy on chatting since the last time Shannon or Megan was on there. It used to be that if you didn't pay you could still accept chat invites from paid members. Now you have to pay to chat at all. So it's a no go on that idea. I still think it would be rather funny.
Oh, and Shannon, who's leaving in a couple of weeks asked me if I wanted to use her car until she comes back (February, I think). Yes, please! That will be SO nice when Megan goes home for a week.
