At long last: winter break!

I spent (probably too much) of Wednesday cleaning the house and packing up my stuff. My last final was Thursday morning and I left for home immediately after I finished. I made good time to Portland, Maine, had a delicious dinner of Chipotle and watched Duck Dynasty and Thursday Night Football before going to bed. I made it home the next day (Friday) around 5pm and was reunited with my amazing husband and wonderful family.

Since then, I've still managed to be busy somehow! Saturday night Danny and I made an appearance and two parties (one of which netted me a crocheted scarf hand-made by my friend - awesome). Sunday we slept in late and ran some errands. On Monday, my parents, my sister and I met up at a pottery shop and did our annual Christmas ornament painting followed by lunch. Then my sister and I went out and did girly stuff like get a pedicure (which I almost never do!) and I got to see her new apartment and my dog-niece, Trudy. Every time I spend any amount of time with a dog, it makes me miss Ella but I know that I'm not really at a good time in my life for another dog right now. Danny says whenever I start residency we'll get one, so that's something to look forward to I think.

We went out ice-skating with friends last night and I did a bit of wrapping today - just little things here and there that I'm getting done. I have a bit more "serious" stuff to do (rotations and such) but I think I'm going to wait until after Christmas when I really have nothing else to do. I'd like our grades to be posted - I think I would have managed straight As except for my optho/neuro class, but we'll just have to wait and see.
