The Aftermath

Wrapping paper is still strewn about.  Empty boxes are stacked around the living room.  And new merchandise is laid upon every surface.  It looks like a department store threw up on our house.  We had a great Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the last few days of lazy fun with awesome family.  Lazy, but tiring!  I'm sore from head to toe from playing video games!

Brent got me my much-anticipated Wii.  I've wanted one for some time and had been patient about getting one.  I love it!  I feel like a kid again.  It's hard for me to mindlessly waste time.  I'm a busy body and am constantly trying to "be productive."  Life often moves slower than I'd like.  I'm thinking the Wii will help me slow down a bit too.  It should make it easy for me to stay home and relax rather than heading off to a store and spend money.

This week between holidays is one of my favorites.  It's one last chance to be lazy before the reality of a new year sets in.  I have big plans for next year.  Big, but simple.  I'll be fine tuning my "resolutions" over the next few days.  It will give my mind plenty to think about while driving mile upon mile around Ft. Fun.  I'll be sure to share my resolutions once the new year arrives.  I've heard that study about how writing down goals will make you more likely to reach them is a farce.  I think that having some level of public accountability for my word certainly helps to motivate me.

Oh, and in other news.  My dad's puppy has a name!  Her name is Dixie!
