Where have I been???

Okay, so I've never been a very diligent blogger, but this time I went off the deep end. When was my last post? November?!?! Where to begin.... Christmas at home was great! I had my 2nd annual Christmas party the night before Christmas Eve. A bunch of my closest girlfriends from high school all came over. We got dressed up, ate great food, and lots of wine and drinks! It's always great to have those girly parties. We celebrated Christmas Day at my Gramma's. Dave joined us this year :) I got *some* of my Christmas knits done ;) I'm still working on completing a few more promised gifts. I did get my mom's red scarf done a long time ago, my brother Alex's felted clogs are almost done (one is complete and felted, the other needs a finished sole and to be felted... to do this weekend!), my brother Drew's ginormous hat is half finished (I'm going to rip it out and start over!), my Gramma's scarf is 3/4 finished, and my dad got a couple balls of yarn (promised to someday become a hat!). So yeah, I wasn't so successful in the knitting department, but they WILL be done eventually. I did get a bunch of great knitting related gifts. A few days after Christmas, the whole family went to see the musical White Christmas in Boston (a Christmas gift to my Gramma). It was fantastic! And dinner afterwards in the North End just topped it off. And then the next day, I had another party at my place in Boston for New Year's! My brother and a bunch of friends from home and college visited... another successful night :) But I'm finally up in Boston again. I was home in CT for most of my winter break. It was so nice to just hang out at home with nothing to do. Unfortunately I always had my Master's research, apartment hunting, and a summer job search nagging me in the back of my mind. And I was successfull at getting some of that done. And now I'm gearing up to get back to school for the second semester of my second year of grad school. Dorky me, I'm actually excited for classes to begin next week. My brother Alex has all the holiday pictures on his digital (which is in CT), so hopefully I'll be able to upload and share them this weekend... stay tuned.
