Had a good holiday break. Spent some time here in the city. Saw the lovely Phoebe as well as her parents on Christmas Eve and, after a late train ride home, opened our bountiful boxes full of goodies together. We spent a quiet Christmas Day together — cheering on the Jets to victory over the hated Dolphins — and then Amy worked on the 26th while I ran around did some present exchanges (for size, mostly).
Speaking of size... we spent the 27th through the 31st in Michigan with Amy's family, filling up on sugar and fat. It's truly shocking how many cookies I ate. Bad bad bad.
Returned yesterday after noon and, after a quick rest, ran up to the UES for a casual NYE shindig with some friends. I wasn't planning on drinking. I did drink. And I ate more cookies. Shocking.
I drank, and we stayed later than we'd planned, because our New Year's Day plans got torpedoed. We were supposed to start the year off right with a Lord of the Rings marathon. But, once again, as has happened every time we've tried to get together with M&A to geek out... someone has gotten ill. Last time it was me and Mike. This time it was Andrea (and Amy).
So, today has been spent putting away the Xmas decorations and unpacking, tidying the house and relaxing. The Rose Bowl game is on and I'm rooting for Michigan, out of in-law solidarity.
Hope you all had a fantastic break. I'm looking forward to 2007 and everything that comes with it. I'll have a less diary-like entry tomorrow with some New Year's plans and... what do you call them...? Oh, yeah... resolutions.
