Star of wonder, star of might~
Dec. 24th, 2010 02:19 amWell, it's now Christmas Eve. I am slowly crossing things off of my "Absolutely must do before I leave" and "Absolutely must pack" lists; I'm down to the last few things. I kind of want to stop soon and get to bed, and I think I can. All that's really left to pack are my toiletries, my running shoes (after I go running tomorrow morning), and... that might really be it. I tried to be on top of things! And I'm not leaving for Orlando until at least 5pm tomorrow, with a stopover in The Villages to hang out with Frank for coffee before I finish my trek down to meet up with everyone that's flown down. Then we leave for our cruise on Christmas morning! I plan to... let's see, avoid the family whenever possible, read a lot, write even more, and sit around and look at the pretty ocean. Yeah, I think that sounds good?
Diana and Kevin came up yesterday, it's always great to see them. We ate at Bento's (where they had a tree up and they were totally playing Christmas with the Rat Pack at some point, which was fabulous~) and played Settlers of Catan and watched two episodes of Last Exile. All in all, a very good evening. :D
Also, totally random but oh my Goddd, why are iPods so expensive still? ;; I've run out of room on my 30GB again, and I'd really like to replace it with something bigger. But they're all over like $200 for anything I want and I cannot justify spending that. :x I just want a regular iPod Classic, argh. Well, I guess that'll just have to wait. All my Rat Pack is going on my iPhone, then~ Maybe when I'm a rich postdoc... /crosses fingers
Now then. Just a few more things to finish up; then I actually kind of want to turn off the lights and just sit around and look at the Christmas tree and listen to a few more Christmas songs before I go to bed. That's not too dorky, is it? Alas, I've already finished the eggnog (well, one of two cartons, but the other one doesn't expire until Feb, so I'm going to not open it until I get back so I can have it then~) and I don't want to make coffee. Uh, maybe just some warm milk. And a banana - I have three to finish before I leave tomorrow. XD
Merry Christmas, all you guys~ <3 And a Happy New Year. I shall return on the 1st!
