don't walk me half the way home

It's pretty late, so this will be a short, quick entry. I know it's been a while, but I just haven't had the time to sit down and devote a good five or ten minutes to updating.

Christmas has come and gone. So has 2000 and 5. John and I managed to fit in a good 4 full Christmas-type meals in a span of 3 weeks. Today (yesterday?) was our family's annual Christmas-time get together. It was, as always, a good time to be had by all. I made the desserts. Well, John made the sugar cookies, but I made my Black Forest Torte and a cheesecake (made from scratch!!). Everything turned out delicious. The best part is that with 17 people it means that I won't be eating leftovers for the next two weeks!

Michelle and I gave grandma her surprise Christmas gift. An afghan I made (Michelle buying the yarn so it'd be from the both of us).

Apparently it was such a big hit, I managed to "sell" my first afghan. Mom's boyfriend wants me to make one for his mother. It will be the exact same pattern and colors as the one in the picture.

I still haven't heard anything about the caseworker job. I should hear something, one way or another, by the end of next week. New Year's Eve was fun. Nothing exciting, but pleasant once the party started.

It's off to bed for me.

The end.

PS. This took more than the 5-10 minutes I had allotted to updating because uploading a picture on dial-up is a pain in the arse. The end... again.
