Boy...
Is my life great or what? And since it is tough to communicate meaning behind words on a computer screen, I'll go ahead and say: I am not being sarcastic in the least bit.
My Christmas holiday was, in a word, perfect. I'll have to put pictures up as soon as I can. Walden and I are in the process of switching computers, which is a pain in the arse considering it seems I've taken up a second job as Max's personal photo journalist. So, soon, we will have our newer, faster, sleeker, smaller laptop set up, as opposed to RoboComp, the chunkier, more useless cousin of RoboCop. (Remember that guy?)
Anyway, so back to perfection. Walden, Max and I went down to Oxford, AL, where my older sister Jen and her boyfriend live. Their house is gorge. Absolutely gorgeous. Jen has a real knack for interior decorating, and it shows in every inch of their house. So spending Christmas in a beautiful home with beautiful people was just about the star on top of my tree. Walden's family in Gadsden is just a stone's throw from where Jen lives, so we were able to see both the Woodhouses and the Buttrams in one weekend. So great. Max has singlehandedly managed to turn our humble apartment into Elmo's World. Well, let me rephrase that. Our parents by way of Max has managed the Elmo transformation, via a ginormous stuffed Elmo doll, Pee-Pee Elmo ("Whoops! Elmo didn't go in the potty! Sorry!"), and enough DVDs and books with Elmo's furry face plastered on the cover to open our own McKays. We also have a huge (by huge I mean nearly 5 feet tall) basketball goal that Walden's brother got Max for Christmas. Instead of taking down the Christmas tree and using the space for what it was used for before the holidays (storing Max's toys and our DVD collection), we took down the tree and put up a basketball goal in its place. Heck yes. Truth be told, Walden and I are getting our fair share of hoops in, too.
I got a kick-a kitchen revamp for Christmas. Okay, not totally. What I mean is, I got a gorgeous stainless steel breadmaker (breadmaker, people!!) from my parents (I've already used it half a dozen times!), and an awesome, and I mean awesome, stainless steel coffeemaker from Walden. Beeyootiful. And I'm enjoying them both at least daily.
Then New Year's weekend, all our families (and I mean all) came up for Walden's surprise birthday party. And he was thoroughly surprised. He had no earthly idea that I had anything planned for his birthday. But the party was a complete hit. We all ate, drank, played games, and lost money to Paul Reed when we played poker. Super fun. And of course everyone (including Max!) stayed up until midnight to ring in the new year!! I made a profit of $7 the entire weekend from poker. World Series Poker, here I come!!
So that was my holiday. I can't believe it's already over two weeks into 2006 and I'm just now updating. So yeah. Happy New Year!
