Took a walk but not more than a mile because the blister on my foot still hasn't healed. Saw a whole extended family out for a Xmas bike ride, which was cool. Came back and my parents were up but not my siblings yet. So it was a good time for me to give them their presents. The shirt kinda fits my dad. Might be slightly too large but will probably change in the wash. My mom seemed to like her gifts of a magnum of popcorn salt and a brace of white cheddar powder for popcorn. She said it was the sort of thing she wouldn't allow herself the luxury of, which is exactly what I try for. I try to get things they like but for some reason won't allow themselves (and things that I can afford).
Then my sister came downstairs wearing a Snuggie and Sophia Loren sunglasses. OMG, I wanted to take a picture so badly. She looked hilarious (especially because she had a scowl on her face...which is why I didn't dare take a picture). Made some scrambled eggs for my mom and sister.
Got some $ from my parents which I think I'll put towards taking a VO class so I can get my chops back and maybe work my way back to independence again. Also got 3 seasons of Mad Men on DVD (yay!) and an Aquitaine Sundial ring, which I'd never heard of. I'll need to RTFM on that.
Sun is out and things look great. No hordes yet so it's been some nice mostly mellow time with a smaller version of my family.
