The Christmas Tree

It was a quite holiday season at the Villa Sternberg. Storm and Kouryou-chan both got B&W Nooks and new clothes and jackets and bedsheets ("Who invited that kid?"). We ate a lot of candy and had a lot of meals, and generally mellowed out. I was given one whole day to myself (!) while they all watched a Harry Potter marathon in anticipation of going to see film seven. I spent the day building my new computer.

Because Storm was at her mother's house until Friday, we waited until New Year's Eve to open the last of the presents.

This past Sunday was the first of the month, so while Storm and a friend went to the movies to see that Harry Potter flick, the rest of us did the monthly groceries. How exciting! I will say that I'm sufficiently geeked out that none of the toys on display at the various stores piqued my interest all that month; right now, what I want most is an updated version of Quicken.

Kouryou-chan had the best social life of any of us, actually going to a friend's New Year's Eve party until almost 1am. That's pretty sad.

Storm and I baked Bittman's macaroni & cheese last night. Yummy!

Grief, we're back on a normal schedule. Up at 6, ballet for Kouryou-chan tonight. Fun!
