swingchickiewhat a wonderful holiday this year. i feel really relaxed, despite the work deadlines looming over my head (which means i'm REALLY relaxed). it was a really nice long weekend, with my family (xmas eve) and jack's family (yesterday) and lots of quality time with just the 2 of us the rest of the time.
one thing i did learn: i've been bowling wrong for my entire life. jack and i went bowling on saturday night, and even a 6-pound ball was tough for me to use... i couldn't understand how he was able to chuck a heavy 11-pound ball as fast as he was. then at the beginning of our 3rd game, i was like, "hey, can you show me how you're holding the ball?" only to discover that putting your pointer and middle fingers in the top 2 holes (as i'd been doing) was not right at all. WOW, was a heavy ball easier to hold once you do it right! once i adjusted: strike. strike. spare. jack was like, "dammit! i'm never correcting you again!"
oh -- and jack is 100% now. still no idea what the deal was to land him in the hospital, but we're certainly glad he's feeling good. of course, he wishes he were back there: "they paid attention to me! they asked me constantly if they could get me anything! i got a back massage!" (do they usually give you back massages in the hospital? or was it just that the nurses thought he was hot?)
love that i have a day off today... i have the luxury of spending an entire day cleaning my office (it will take at least a day to do it). i have shelves for the storage closet, lots of pretty yellow file folders for my paperwork... oh, this will feel SO good when it's done!

Date: 2007-12-26 08:40 pm (UTC)I'm doing a bit of the same. I'm cleaning the house (feels so good to scrub the bathroom, finally), finishing the rest of the Christmas wrapping for people we're seeing this weekend, and then I'm gonna bake some banananananana bread.
