It was fun while it lasted....

....but, sigh, vacation is officially over. I am back at work, once again trying to aimlessly fill my time with as much procrastination as possible. I've gotten quite good at it, really.

My Holiday/Christmas (or whatever is/isn't acceptable these days) vacation was a lot of nothing, and it was perfect. The boyfriend and I made a few rounds to friends and family, but most of our time was spent either sleeping or vegging. Some might call this an unproductive use of our time; I say those people need to shush because in reality, how often does one have the luxury of being that idle? Almost never, right? So, I will take my week of nothing and remember it fondly. I did manage to read two-and-a-half books, which is a recent record for me. I forget just how much I enjoy waking up without an alarm, and then spending the next few hours snuggled under the covers reading. It used to be somewhat of a Sunday morning ritual before I became busy with grad school, etc. If I were a New Year's resolution kind of person, I'd add that to my list!

I've decided to start making my posts a little less prolix, which is difficult because I have an intense need to overexplain just about anything and everything. For the sake of the 2 or 3 readers I have (Hi mom, dad, and other random people who stop by), I will attempt to spare them my long diatribes. I do find it funny that the very people I started this for are not "blog" people and therefore don't really read. Not that it's a big deal--I like having a record of things going on to supplement my journal (my hand gets tired of writing!), it's just funny. Ciao!
