I've found an apartment to live in! It's within 10 minutes of my school and 30 from Mom and Bobbert. Awesome amenities and the complex is next door to one of my best friends here, Amanda! Well, OK, the next apartment compound over. But STILL a lot closer than I've lived to friends in a long time. =) I am so excited, and when I move in the 2nd week of February, you're all invited to stay at my place - so long as you appreciate a spot on a couch or floor, or you don't mind sharing a bed with someone who kicks.
Hooray for NEW BEGINNINGS!!!

Minnesota Surprise!
It was Friday, December 22nd, and my mom, Bob, Alyse, and Jeff were anxiously awaiting the arrival or our sisters Heidi and Stacy at Christos in St. Paul. The latter had no clue we were there... until we sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" from the balcony to their table below. THAT's a good feeling.
Needless to say we had a blast on our holiday trip to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. It was fantastic to see everyone again and I had a great time! The 15 and a half hour car ride there with 5 grown adults wasn't so bad either (thank you, Lunesta). On the way back? Little more rough, but there were only 3 of us in the car so I couldn't just close my eyes and disappear. Best quote of the trip? Stacy, after playing her first game of Risk... "War - I'm into it now".
We also got to see cousins Steve and Mary Ann on the way home in Iowa. THAT was interesting. Just a warning to you all, but Steve has decided that when he's 89 and senile he's going to be as stubborn as a mule and do whatever the hell he wants. Josh, you may want to live far, far away.
We arrived back in TX to find warmer weather and our beds, which we promptly fell asleep in around 8:30 Wednesday morning. Hooray for roadtrips! I hope you all had as enjoyable a holiday as I had, and enough rest as well! Merry Christmas!

Steroid Shots
With my lovely self being prone to sinus infections (I know that's not too much personal information for you all now, is it? Did you READ "Bright Blue Panties Girl"???) I've had a couple of steroid shots in my rear. Today's hurt. Does anybody else's nurse rub it in? HOLY MOLY that hurts worse than the shot! And you feel so... exposed.
Two rear end stories in one week folks... aren't you lucky? =)

Bright Blue Panties Girl
I've decided I've met my quota on "interesting" things happening to me at school this year. A kid getting a small concussion in my class was #1 and I thought enough for the year. Alas, I was wrong.
I split my jeans Friday while on a field trip with the choir and band. And not just any small tear. We're talking top o' the bottom to top o' the thigh. Did I notice? Nope. Did anyone else? Thank goodness NO (I am truly thankful for my long black coat right now). So when did I realize my left cheek was exposed? When I sat down on the bus and felt cold plastic on my thigh. Of COURSE I still had 1 class to teach upon returning to school and of COURSE I HAD to tell and show my friends at school - it's just one of those things you don't believe until you see. I'm not sure I like my new nickname though... "Bright Blue Panty Girl." Katy O., while they may not have seen the cuteness of the panties, I am happy I was wearing panties and I'm not known as the bare-butt girl. I guess that saves my reputation? Maybe? We'll find out at the "unofficial" faculty party tonight.
