The Holidays are OVER

Some people like to lengthen the holidays and keep their decorations up for a pretty long time.  I might have liked to do that, but our apartment is way too cramped to keep up a huge tree for very long.  So, Christmas is officially over at the Shive house (except for the window drawings that Jay made with window crayons and still has to clean up)--the tree is down and put away, as are the stockings, stocking holders, nutcrackers and Christmas lights.  Our apartment feels much bigger now, much cleaner.  Thank goodness.

I only have this week left of my much appreciated break (I've paused a long time here to consider hyphenating "much appreciated," and I've come to the conclusion that I don't care--which has led to another, saddening  conclusion: I need school).  I'm playing computer games, watching my DVR, surfing netflix, and washing more clothes than I knew two people could wear.
