3 weeks.

In exactly 3 weeks I'll be checking in. Ahhh! I still need to go buy storage bins, towels, wash cloths, and probably a new mattress pad. The one I have from my dorm is sad because I've been using it at home as well. 

My family Christmases are finally complete. I had an awesome few days of lots of family and lots of good food. Thursday night (Christmas Eve) we went to my dad's parents' house which is what we have done every Christmas Eve for my whole life. It was really fun and I got to see my cousin's new, sweet baby (9 days old!!). Her name is Hailey and she's precious. On Christmas my mom's mom and my aunt and uncle on that side came to our house and we opened presents and ate shrimp and grits. It was wonderful. Saturday was more of a break from actual Christmas activities but I hung out with Christine and then we went with the same family members from the Friday gathering (minus my grandmother) to see Invictus which is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was incredible and I highly recommend going to see it if you haven't. Finally, yesterday I had two family things to go to in one day. I started out at my extended stepfamily's Christmas where we had really good barbecue and I got to see cousins and aunts and uncles I hadn't seen as well as my stepsibs who I hadn't seen in awhile because they went on a Christmas cruise (lucky). From there we headed down to Peachtree City where my really extended family lives. As in my second and third cousins kind of extended. It was fabulous and I really enjoyed it. :) And that, in a nutshell, is why I have not posted. Not that it's even been that long since I last did.

It's really hard to distract myself from thinking only about the CP because even at all those family functions everyone kept asking if I was excited or what it was or what I was going to be doing or if I was getting credit or if I was scared and while I love to talk about it I found myself rattling off a paragraph/speech about it every time I was asked unless the person was genuinely interested.

Tonight, however, will be an amazing distraction from it because Christine is coming over and we're having a pizza/video game/pajama night. I have been thinking about the double bacon and black olive pizza since we planned it. And the Apple Fanta. And Super Smash Bros. Obviously it doesn't take much to excite me. :)

So to end this ridiculously long post- I hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas and if you're counting down (whether to your program or until applications for Fall go up) I hope your wait goes really quickly. :)

Oh and random to Kristin if you happen to see this: I tried to leave you a comment but your comment box wouldn't show up, but the WE in WEtv stands for Women's Entertainment. :)
