Post Christmas stuff

I've been putting off doing a post about all this cause I've been in the process of learning a valuable lesson in recent days- don't fall asleep in the back of a car with your head bent to your chest and tilted sideways. Sounds really obvious, I know, but I did it and popped something out in my neck and paid with four days of a pretty constant headache. The kind that's better in the morning and builds throughout the day and never really goes away. Started my period at the same time and was fighting off a cold, so all in all felt pretty icky. Finally got myself to the chiropractor yesterday and they put me back in place and I feel much better today.

Not that it wasn't a good christmas, it was. I got a lot of books and cds, a skirt, a pair of jeans and a really awesome cream colored halter top. It's got silver threads running all through it:) I also got a pair of boots and a roaster set, which were quite unexpected and cool. The boots bring up the touchy question of what to do with a gift that I know I won't wear, cause I feel bad returning something my mom gave me. I know she likes them and she tries so hard to surprise me but I know I won't wear them. I think I will though, cause she kept the receipt, but I just feel bad about it.

I have the house to myself for one precious hour until Mom, Kate and Joe get back from the airport with Opa and Steven. I am now officially ready to go back to school. Or rather, back to the dorm. Classes can wait for a while. I still have to write a zillion application essays for internships this summer. I guess that gives me an excuse to pull out for a few hours at a time over the next week or so.
