Christmas Break Update #2

Hello all,
     I know it's been more than a couple weeks since I last posted on the goings-on of the break, but I've been super busy not being busy. :-) I have more free time than I know what to do with but unlike every other vacation, I'm actually doing something productive with my time.
     I went to Houston for a week to celebrate New Years. I stayed at my grandma's house with my family and we all had a great time. My sister, my dad, my grandmother, and I played 110 (the best card game you will ever play) almost every night and my grandma cooked Puerto Rican food and a great time was had by all. (Yeah, it was so good I had to write a run-on sentence to get my point across!) On the five-hour drive to Houston I continued reading Catcher in the Rye and finished it later in the week. I loved the book, although the vocabulary grated on my nerves a bit. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't read it, but the last twenty pages were some of the best I've ever read.
    
     The day after we got home I was pleased to see that my pictures from Shutterfly had arrived. That afternoon I opened all my new scrapbooking paraphernalia and didn't stop until 1:30 that morning. During that evening--only at the strong behest of my parents--my sister and I watched the ENTIRE mini-series of Battlestar Galactica. My parents are avid fans of the show and are trying to get us hooked, but I was not as impressed as I thought I'd be. It went so, if I may, frakking long! I decided to give the first few episodes of the actual show a try before I totally boycott it, though. :-)
     Yesterday me and my family went to see Tangled. I am in love with the whole thing! I loved the music and the graphics and everything. I felt the same way I did as a six-year-old watching Beauty and the Beast. The characters were so quirky and real in their own way. I think the horse and Eugene were my favorite characters. :-)
     Well that's all I've really been up to lately. My Spring 2011 schedule is finalized but I'm not quite ready to get back into the school routine just yet. I am, however, stoked to start choir up again this Sunday as well as AWANA. I've missed my kids a lot. :-)
  Thanks for reading!
