merry christmas!

i'm home!  sitting on my own couch now, with my siblings and mom here (dad had to work today) just chillin.  joey drove em and i home safely.  it was a long drive, and we got started incredibly late, but we made it :)  we've just been enjoying the time with everybody.  joey's with his sister, but he'll be back for new years.  mom is doing pretty well.  and christmas is only 2 days away.  always a joyous thing :)  em's friend got married yesterday, that was weird.  she's mentally like 14 or 15.

when we were in houston, i started having trouble breathing, and was trying to figure out why.  then em and joey, when we stopped for gas the last time, were all excited together because they were breathing water again.  i then realized that was why - because of the humidity.  i was not willing to join them in the celebration.  i hate the humidity down here.  it's too thick.  some humidity is fine.  but this much?  as i said when we first got here, and last summer, and every time i've come home, i feel like any time i step outside i'm breathing through a pillow.  a very thick and heavy pillow wrapped around my face.

we're making cookies today.  usually somebody always brings sugar cookies to us when going around dropping off all kinds of sweets, but no one has this year.  so we thought it'd be perfect to finally make some again.  so for now, this is all i will write.  we have a lot to make :)  gingerbread too!

merry christmas and happy new year to all!
