So we finally finished Christmas stuff today, making it over to Diana's bro's house today. About half of the family still felt crappy today (pun intended), and poor Nina spontaneously combusted all over the place. It seems like for the most part everyone has worked through it though. Tomorrow I drop Sam Sr. and Helen Ann off at the airport.
While I feel like I didn't do a great job with gifts for Diana (although she moans with pleasure using the super elite knitting needles I got her), she managed to score neat stuff for me. She got me some Family Guy action, and, to my surprise, the entire series of Sports Night on DVD. I forgot that I even liked that show. Truth is, I loved it. It's smart, well-written, and about a TV show. How could I not like it?
She also scored the Lebowski book I previously mentioned. I had to watch the movie again last night.
My Seattle-in-laws got me Gears of War, which is pretty cool because it's a lot cheaper now that the sequel is out. I've been kind of itching for a shooter, since I finished up the Orange Box games last spring. Blowing shit up is really satisfying.
I still may buy myself something, just because I've been good and haven't in awhile. Granted, I'm buying myself all kinds of stuff with the honeymoon that I hope to have squared away by the end of the week.
Overall, Christmas went reasonably well, though it sucks so many people got sick. I feel fortunate that I did not. I'll never quite understand why some people do and others don't. I'm sure it's not my strict regimen of unhealthy food and lack of exercise!
