Another Break Update

Well, a couple more days of break have passed, most of them un-exciting. But a few things have gone down:

New Years ~ spent it watching the Return of the King (all 5 hours of it), watched the ball drop at 11 as always, actually stayed up long enough to see Conan's Midwestern Countdown (I personally liked the dude with the map), babysat the kiddo (cute, cute, cute)

Michael ~ came to visit, went to all 3 Madison locations of Noodles (#1 closed for the holiday, #2 closed for remodelling, #3 open finally), also went to Chipotle and Glass Nickel Pizza (yummy), played Cranium Hoopla (wicked hard) and Scrabble (I actually won once)

Jennica ~ got to talk to my long-absent friend, confused her by refering to Mike as Michael, she seems to be doing fine, very much looking forward to seeing her later this week

Football ~ for really the first time all season I watched some college football (my sports watching has declined drastically in the last semester), enjoyed myself thoroughly, learned what a 3rd down conversion was

Some other stuff has happened, I saw a couple of movies and watched some really geeky shows on the History and National Geographic channels. My life is much more exiciting to me living it than it sounds here, I apologize. For something more intellectually stimulating, please see the next entry. But for now, I'm off to bed.
