I return and, thus, officially end the holidays for me. Aimee and I made the drive from Southern California yesterday and returned back to work/school/whatever. Well, I get a day or two to enjoy being home again; Aimee had to work.
The holidays we pretty crazy this year with a lot of down time (which meant I got a good chunk of painting done), a couple big downs, and some really huge ups. Everything was topped off this Sunday morning when the first female to be born into my family since my mother was, well, born. I'm now an uncle twice over and the child, Mia, was born pretty much as problem free as they come. So yays and joys all around.
Christmas was pretty good to me gift wise too. I really only got money because I'm a total bitch to shop for, but I'm perfectly fine with that. Today I ran around and spent some of what I designated as the "fun" portions of the money and came home with the two big portable Final Fantasy games (Revenant Wings and Tactics), Jak 3 (it was like $10), and the DS version of Puzzle Quest because it was on sale for $15. On the warhammer side of things I really didn't get much because I'm already backlogged as it is, but I did pick up a smaller group of Eldar guys. I also picked up more mundane things like a medium sized cooking pot and did some worry free grocery shopping. My family also gave me a new George Foreman grill with removable plates for easy cleaning, which is awesome.
So yeah, good things all around. Hopefully I can remember how to work when I start doing that in a day or two.
