home for the holidays 2008

happy holidays!

i start school in 8 hours and i can't sleep...figures...

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting while school's on, but I will try to stay on top of the blog and share more of my projects and stuff.

In the meantime, here are some super cute photos of my nephew, Kirk, who we visited in Kingston this past weekend.









Oh and here's two of the cat and dog together after spending the night apart. Usually they are fighting:





And here's a creepy croissant Kirk bought for me:



Oh! And some Christmas presents. My new mini mouse for the iBook and a GINORMOUS pepper grinder (IT WORKS!) from my brother.

overheard while doing christma eve lesbian potluck dishes...

"i'm thinking about convincing kirk to let me take the summer off working full time, so i can take some courses to get a head start next year"



"really, shmoopee? does he know that?"



"no, we haven't really talked about it yet, why?"



"cause he's sitting right next to me here. in the same room as you."

santa is my bitch

Venture brothers is the best cartoon ever. not everyone gets it, but the more absurd, the better, I say.


Last night we went out for dinner with my parents and my in laws. The food was fantastic. so was the booze. We walked Kirk's parents to their hotel, and then walked home from there.


We were all giddy from actually having a decent time with our parents, and totally started making out as soon as we walked through the door. At some point I felt a little gassy and thought I'd let a little go. Well. It ended up being the most hilariously foul silent but deadly fart ever beefed. A real clinger.


I was horribly embarrassed, but couldn't stop laughing about it. Definitely a mood killer.


Lucky for me, he eventually got over it.


Tonight, Angela joined us for lesbian Christmas Eve potluck with the Melissas (yes, my best friend Melissa dates someone with the same name). They are the raddest bitches. I planned on taking pictures but got ripped pretty much right away and totally forgot.


I drank red wine, limoncello and eggnog spiked with Cuban white rum. I ate a lot too. Eggplant parmigiana, venison meatballs and red cabbage salad with honey mustard dressing. Then I ate a shitload of chocolate and pot butter cookies and we walked Angela to the subway.


Tomorrow will be another whole day of eating with my family. It's a non-stop Italian gorgefest from about 2pm until 6pm. We're going over to my parents a little early, so I can have a run on their treadmill before I get started. I've been slacking off in that department since school ended and I am starting to feel it. Sore neck and lower back, oh and I've started grinding my teeth at night again. Time to wrap that shit up, yo.
