Caught In The Whirlwind
So…Tired
Wow, yesterday was exhausting.
I got a call from my sister at 8:22am. “Santa came! Get over here so we can open presents!” The plan was for me to head over at 9, but I guess she got a little antsy. Fine by me. I head over to my parents house for the ritual cinnamon bun and Christmas gift exchange. I ended up with a bunch of penguin themed kitchen items. Woohoo! Oh, and some cleaning supplies. It’s amazing how much you appreciate this kind of stuff after you move out. I also now have a LARGE stack of games that I need to play, and a pair of Sennheiser HD-595s which are AWESOME. I can’t stop listening to these things.
After the gifts, we hung out at my parents for a couple hours and headed for my apartment after lunch for the Wii party.
That part went really well. First of all, I discovered that I CAN fit 5 people in my apartment without some sort of a pry bar to get them all through the door. We mostly played Wii Sports Bowling, Tennis and Powershots from the training section. I tried introducing Rayman, but I’m not sure they were quite ready for that as far as wrapping their heads around the motion control. Maybe some other time.
The best part was my sister boxing her fiance. They REALLY went at it. My sister won.
We finished up with the Wii (My sister complaining that her arm hurt. I warned her!) and went to my grandmothers to meet with the rest of the family. 5 hours of kids running wild, catching up with everybody and, of course, the traditional Christmas Eve game of Pitch. As usual, we split up into teams, girls against the guys. The guys cleaned up this year.
After all of that I fell into bed around 10:30ish and just got up a few minutes before I started writing this post. This afternoon I’m headed out to my Aunts house to take care of the family stuff for my dad’s side. My parents might be coming back here for a little bit for some more Wii action as well. Not sure on that, we’ll have to see when they call me.
