Alright fools, back at the crib in Torresdale after a few days rest out of town.
We got an Oldsmobile Alero, which was pretty sweet--this is one of the cars I am considering buying, so this was like a test ride. I'm impressed...decent handling in the snow, good pickup, lots of room. I also discovered this afternoon that it has a CD player, after thinking that it didn't. That's alright...I'll have the car until tomorrow night, so I'll play with it on the way to work tomorrow.
Xmas dinner was alright...it just didn't seem quite as good as years past. Still better than anything Rho and I would have made. My in-laws were cool...my mother-in-law was not as goofy as usual. I got a few DVDs from Rho (though she hasn't given them to me yet), and we got $$$ from the in-laws (complete surprise), which we'll probably put towards a PS2. (I figure renting PS2 games and DVDs are relatively cheap sources of entertainment...always a good thing.) Oh, and my mom sent the new DVD player (which I don't think will play European DVDs, since it has a region 1 code on it...damnit!). It's the thought that counts though, so it's all good. Rho got a gift certificate from me to Lane Bryant, which I haven't actually bought yet.
Today, Rho and I hung out with Dave, Jenni, Jeni, and Paul (tokenidiot) in Fairfax. We dined on Italian...good stuff. Dave took us inside his house...what a mess. Thank God no one got hurt...and hopefully Tinkerbell will find her way home.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday...or day off.
