Well, it was a merry Christmas, but boy was it a rough day after. Something I ate on Christmas day didn’t agree with me and food poisoning isn’t fun at all! :( I feel much better today though. My appetite still isn’t back, but I’m glad that the world stopped spinning and that my head doesn’t feel like it’s going to explode.

Better yesterday than tomorrow I suppose. I’ll be travelling back to Minnesota tomorrow to resume work and my normal non-vacationing life. Alas, all good thing must come to an end.

I hope Santa treated you all well this year. :)

A very belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and a pre-Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all of you. I hope everything has been going well with you all.

I continue leading the good life which is doing basically nothing but watching TV and eating whatever it is I feel like. I’ve made a soft promise to myself that this will end the first of the year, though. I’m squeezing in my last guilty pleasures of pizza, burgers, and various other fattening foods before I start living on fruits and veggies once again.

I tried running the other day. I think I’ve cured my ITB problem by becoming so out of shape that I can’t run far enough to where my ITB would actually start giving me problems. Not the optimal cure, but it works, I guess. :( I’m so pathetically out of shape right now it isn’t funny.

I’d like to introduce you all to my second niece - Madison Sophia. She was born just four days ago at 7 pounds and 7 oz. I forgot just how tiny newborns are.

Lastly, in talking with my sister yesterday the word Ironman got mentioned somehow while Madison’s older sister (3 1/2 years of age) was there. She went on to mumble something about washman and dryman. It took us both a while before we finally got it. She didn’t even mean for it to be a joke, but it was pretty darn funny to me. :)
