(Back home aaaagaaaain, in Cheesecake Ciiiiity)
Anyway! We just walked in the door from our trip to the Frozen North (and Frozen it was – it snowed in both IN and OH), so now I feel safe in promoting that we weren’t home the whoooole time.
Highlights:
In Indiana, we hung out at Mom and Dad’s house, opened Xmas presents (where I was spoiled – Xmas ’09 was wayyy better than Xmas ’08), ate a tremendous amount (including the traditional family fruit salad, yum), saw “Up in the Air” with George Clooney (recommended!) and saw Brandy and her daughter Sophia. We were in IN for far less time than we were in OH but it was quality time and I would not change it for much (barring actually moving to Indiana, which looked like a possibility in ’09 but not so much now).
The BEST thing I did in Indianapolis: Well, my SIL and I went to CVS on Xmas Day and I got to park in the “Expectant Mother” parking space. I had to take gooood care of SIL because she is carrying…my niece! Yay! (Cannot WAIT to finally shop the girl section at Gymbo – my regular sales clerk will be so confused!)
In Ohio, we did Xmas presents, ate a lot, Gene and his brother went to see Sherlock Holmes (meh, I stayed at the hotel and played Makeover Madness on Pogo), and, as I mentioned previously, I did laundry to get apple goo off my pants (which I should have wiped the apple goo off of before washing, oh well!). I also came to a surprising realization, but that’s a whole separate post. Maybe later.
