Cheers!
from here i can hear shakira singing, and doing whatever that thing is with her voice. owen is gaping and grinning blandly at me, half asleep, half infatuated with the music, and i don't know about the other half... to my right there's a window with a hunched reflection and pony tail. the bed in my bedroom/storage room/school room/game room is looking inviting since i went to bed in my blue jeans at 6am "last night." and all around me the rumbling sound of a rotating drier and, my goodness, i swear this house is chock full of mirrors. have you ever wondered if mr goodbars are worth the peanuts between your teeth? me either. it is good to sip whole, cold, vitamin D borden's from a bright red plastic cup.
okay fo'ks, this christmas season has been... i don't know, almost weird. for one thing there's the weather. that's always a good place to start. i know this is east texas, and i know it's more likely that santa is real than that myth about some white stuff called snow - but t-shirts? on christmas day?? wow. in a few weeks you can look forward to some "cool" pictures of our wintery holiday antics. as of yesterday, i have a new favorite hat. no, that's not related in any way to the wintery antics. it's a fedora! woot! i love it. it occurred to me today, however, that it might not ride so well with bicycle transportation. whatever. i walk plenty of places.
now where was i? oh yes... the weirdness (weird is such a strange word. seems to have a peculiar conotation). the second thing might very well be my four in one room i mentioned before. this may be my home (it is indeed), but it certainly isn't my house. i can hardly believe this is a new permanent place of residence for my family. obviously not quite so much for me, but it's odd that i will never sleep again in that house which i helped (to the best of my ability) build with my own hands, and in which i have lived for about half of my life. i honestly don't feel upset about it, it's just that this definitely feels like a temporary dwelling, and a small, pie shaped cell on sfa campus is becoming the place i'm talking about when i say, "i'm going home." that sounds awful! lol. of course, that shouldn't be hard to remedy when the time comes.
jonathan came with his family this week from georgia. it was really great to visit. of course, watching movies, eating, playing darts, and driving around listening to loud music was great too. not to mention staying up till dawn. you know how you have some friends that you just feel like you couldn't live without, and then they move waaaay far away? i guess that's the way jon is, and it makes me so glad to see him every year or two. yeah, that's you bud, if you're reading this.
we've been putting up loads of vinyl skirting around the house, sheetrock and trim in the living room, etc. speaking of which, duty calls. i will be back! maybe not today. but i will be back!

sounds like you've had quite the holiday season thus far. as for the myth about the white stuff called snow... i'd show you how real it is, but everything we had is melting away. we're not in t-shirt weather, but not in need of coats (38-40's). and... mr. goodbars are well worth the bother of the nuts. that's all. bubye
38-40 degrees still requires a coat.
