I don't think I managed to mention this among all the weather talk and whining, but I had a great trip home and a wonderful Christmas. I saw many friends, which was fantastic, and of course it was great to see my parents. This is the first Christmas that I can remember where it was just the three of us for stockings and breakfast (when I was younger my uncle and grandmother would come over, and various friends of ours have spent Christmas with us over the years), and it was very relaxed. We opened presents slowly, with lots of time for my mom to admire everything, and try everything, and read everything, and there were cherry scones and fruit salad. Piles of people came over in the afternoon for the open house, way more than usual, but there were only 9 for dinner, which is much smaller than average. So things were all backwards.

And we played games. Oh, did we play games. Whenever I go home, that's what we end up doing. I think my parents, who usually read at night, don't want to leave me alone. So we played many, many games, including endless rounds of Mah Jongg, which I got for Christmas. I'm obsessed. It's good though - I'm practicing for when I'm old and living in the House of Cats. Because what goes better than old ladies, cats, and Mah Jongg?

So yeah, that was it. I bothered the cat endlessly, slept lots, ate, played games, gave fabulous gifts, and ended up with a suitcase full of things to find places for. Luckily, some of that is chocolate, which will be quickly taken care of. Yup.

Mah Jongg! Awesome.

I've inherited a Scrabble board, so we're going to have to be awful at Scrabble together a few times. Oh, so awful at Scrabble. Or is it just me?

Scrabble is the only boardgame I actually own. (how sad!). Can I come be awful at Scrabble with you sometime? It's fun if we're simply awful.....but not purposely using words we know aren't real (cough...Joel...cough).

I am not sure anyone can beat my Scrabble awfullness. I have been beaten by an 11 year old and 2 women for whom English was a second language. I really do think I'm fairly literate but somehow it never seems to extend to Scrabble.
