Well... it's officially back to work for me after a break for the holidays. The holidays went as well as can be expected considering it was the first without my dad, but we were a little somber.
On Tyler's birthday (aka Christmas Eve), Lance and I picked up mom and we joined Tyler at his apartment for pizza and some Rock Band. We had fun even though mom refused to sing. I, however, enjoyed having the microphone as it's the only time anyone's ever encouraged me to sing.
On Christmas day, we saw Lance's family in the morning and went to my mom's in the afternoon. Lance got lucky at Monopoly and his Free Parking winnings squashed the rest of us.
On New Year's Eve, my sister and her family came to town. Lance and I had a fabulous dinner at Pierponts with Cyrilla, Al and my mom plus some friends of the family. Then we joined Stephanie and Phil at the Hyatt for the New Year's Party. We said good riddance to 2008 and took joy in the fact that the worst year of our lives was finally over.
However, just a few days later mom would be hit with more crap when the water line to her icemaker came apart filling her house with water for four hours or so. For those of you who don't know, this is the fourth flood (and worst yet) she's had in the past six months or so.
I guess '09 will not be all sunshine and roses, but I'm still hopeful that it won't be all bad either. I'll put up some holiday photos ASAP.
